Full details

The GoodHome Durable Melville Matt Emulsion Paint in Grey is designed for homeowners seeking a robust and high-coverage paint for high-traffic areas. Its exceptionally hard-wearing formulation offers excellent covering power, making it ideal for walls, wood, and metal surfaces.

FAQs

Can this paint be used on radiators?

Yes, this paint is suitable for metal surfaces, including radiators, provided they are clean, dry, and properly primed.

How long does it take to dry?

Drying times can vary based on temperature and humidity, but typically touch dry in 1-2 hours and recoatable in 4 hours. Refer to the product packaging for specific details.

Is this paint washable?

While durable, the matt finish is best cleaned gently with a damp cloth. It is not as easily washable as gloss or satin finishes and scrubbing should be avoided.

Can I use this paint outdoors?

No, this paint is formulated for interior use only and is not weather-resistant.

Do I need a primer?

A primer is recommended for bare wood and metal surfaces to ensure optimal adhesion and finish. For previously painted surfaces in good condition, light preparation may suffice.

What is the coverage per litre?

Coverage varies depending on the surface porosity and application method, but typically offers excellent coverage. Refer to the product packaging for estimated coverage rates.

Troubleshooting

Paint not covering evenly

Ensure the surface was properly prepared and primed. Stir the paint thoroughly and apply a consistent, even coat. Consider a second coat if needed.

Brush marks or roller marks visible

Apply paint with a consistent direction and pressure. Avoid overworking the paint. Ensure adequate drying time between coats.

Slight colour variation between coats

Ensure the paint is fully mixed and apply subsequent coats evenly across the entire surface, maintaining a wet edge to avoid lap marks.

Surface feels chalky after drying

This can occur if the paint is applied too thinly or in very humid conditions. Ensure proper ventilation and consider a second, even coat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and loose paint. For bare wood or metal, apply a suitable primer first. For previously painted surfaces, lightly sand and wipe clean.

Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply evenly with a brush or roller. For best results, apply two coats, allowing adequate drying time between coats as recommended on the tin.

Compatibility: This paint is suitable for interior walls, wood, and metal. It is not designed for exterior surfaces or areas that will be in prolonged contact with water.

Care: To clean, gently wipe the painted surface with a damp, soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scrubbing, as this may damage the matt finish.
