The Craig & Rose 1829 Chalky Emulsion in Porcelain Blue is ideal for homeowners and interior designers seeking a sophisticated, ultra-matt finish for indoor walls and ceilings.

No, this paint is not formulated for high-moisture environments. It is best suited for dry living spaces.
While one coat may provide coverage, two coats are recommended for a rich, uniform color depth and professional finish.
Since it is a water-based emulsion, you can clean brushes with warm, soapy water immediately after application.
No, the 1829 Chalky Emulsion is specifically designed for interior use only.
The paint is low VOC, which significantly reduces the intensity of odors compared to traditional solvent-based paints.
Yes, but due to the matt nature of the finish, touching up can sometimes be visible depending on the lighting and the age of the original application.
Ensure you maintain a wet edge while painting and avoid overworking the paint once it begins to set.
Stir the paint thoroughly before and during application to ensure the pigment is evenly distributed throughout the can.
Verify that the surface was properly cleaned and primed; if the wall is highly porous, apply a mist coat or primer first.
Before starting, ensure all surfaces are free from dust, grease, and loose debris. If applying over previously painted walls, a light sanding will improve adhesion. Use a high-quality synthetic brush or a medium-pile roller to apply the emulsion for the smoothest finish. Once dried, care for your walls by avoiding abrasive scrubbing, which can damage the delicate matt surface. For minor marks, use a soft, dry microfiber cloth or a very lightly dampened cloth, dabbing gently rather than wiping aggressively to preserve the pigment and finish.
