Troubleshooting

Uneven colour after application

Ensure the paint was stirred thoroughly before and during use. Apply paint evenly, using consistent strokes and avoiding overworking thin patches. Ensure adequate lighting during application.

Paint is difficult to clean

Allow the paint to cure fully (typically 2-3 weeks) before attempting heavy cleaning. Use a soft cloth and mild detergent solution. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Brush marks or roller texture visible

Ensure smooth, even application. Use the correct tools for the job and apply in a consistent direction. Allow proper drying time between coats.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation: For optimal results, ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and flaking paint. Lightly sand any glossy surfaces to improve adhesion. Apply a suitable primer if necessary, especially on new or previously painted surfaces.

Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply with a brush or roller, working in a consistent direction. Two coats are generally recommended for best coverage and colour depth. Allow adequate drying time between coats as per the manufacturer's instructions.

Compatibility: Suitable for interior walls and ceilings in kitchens. Avoid use in areas of extreme humidity. Test on a small, inconspicuous area if unsure about compatibility with existing finishes.

Care: Clean spills and marks promptly. Use a soft, damp cloth for cleaning. For tougher stains, a mild detergent solution can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh scrubbing, which can damage the matt finish.
