FAQs
How much paint will I need?
Coverage varies, but typically, 2.5L covers approximately 35 square meters. It's always best to measure your wall area and estimate accordingly, and buy a little extra.
What kind of primer should I use?
Use a primer suitable for the surface you are painting (e.g., wood, plaster). Consult your local paint supplier for recommendations.
How long does the paint take to dry?
Drying times can vary depending on conditions, but generally, allow 4-6 hours between coats. Refer to the paint tin for specific instructions.
Can I use this paint in a bathroom?
While suitable for interior walls, consider the moisture levels in bathrooms. Ensure proper ventilation.
How do I clean my paint brushes and rollers?
Clean brushes and rollers immediately after use with water (for water-based paints) or the appropriate solvent (for oil-based paints). Make sure you follow local regulations regarding disposal of waste.
What is the shelf life of the paint?
Unopened, paint can last for several years if stored correctly (cool, dry place). Once opened, use within a year or as recommended by the manufacturer. Stir the paint well before use even if it has been stored for a short period of time.
Troubleshooting
Paint appears streaky after application.
Ensure even coverage. Apply a second coat, and make sure your roller or brush is properly loaded with paint. Avoid overworking the paint.
Paint doesn't adhere to the surface.
Make sure the surface is properly prepared, clean, and primed. Lightly sand the surface before repainting.
Colour appears different from expected.
Lighting affects the colour perception. Test the colour in different lighting conditions before painting the entire room. Allow the paint to fully dry to see the true colour.

- Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply two coats, allowing adequate drying time between coats (as indicated on the paint tin).
