FAQs

How many coats will I need?

Typically, two coats are recommended for best coverage and durability, especially over contrasting colors or bare surfaces. Allow adequate drying time between coats.

What is the drying time?

Touch dry time is usually 1-2 hours, and recoat time is typically 2-4 hours, depending on temperature and humidity. Always refer to the product label for specific times.

Can I use this paint in a bathroom?

Yes, due to its grease-resisting and durable properties, it is suitable for areas of high condensation, making it a good choice for bathrooms as well as kitchens.

How much area does 2.5L cover?

Coverage varies based on surface porosity and texture, but typically 2.5L will cover approximately 25-30 square meters per coat. It's always best to check the product label for exact coverage rates.

Do I need a primer?

For best results on bare, new, or highly porous surfaces, a suitable primer or a mist coat (first coat diluted with 10-20% water) is recommended to ensure optimal adhesion and a smooth finish.

How do I clean my brushes and rollers?

Clean all equipment immediately after use with warm soapy water.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering properly or peeling.

Ensure surfaces were clean, dry, and free from grease or loose material before painting. Consider using a primer, especially on new or highly porous surfaces. Allow proper drying time between coats.

Uneven finish or brush/roller marks.

Ensure paint is stirred thoroughly. Apply paint evenly and avoid overloading your brush or roller. Maintain a wet edge and work in manageable sections. Apply sufficient coats, allowing proper drying time between each.

Strong odor after painting.

Ensure adequate ventilation during and after painting. Keep windows and doors open for several hours. The odor should dissipate as the paint cures.

Grease marks reappear quickly after cleaning.

While grease-resisting, heavy build-up may require more frequent cleaning. Ensure you are using a soft cloth with mild soap and water for cleaning and avoiding abrasive materials.
