FAQs
Is this paint suitable for kitchens and bathrooms?
While it is durable and wipeable, this product is primarily formulated for standard interior walls and ceilings. For high-moisture areas, consider a dedicated bathroom or kitchen paint.
Can I use this on wood or metal?
No, this is specifically formulated for interior walls and ceilings. Use appropriate wood or metal primers and topcoats for those surfaces.
How long does it take to dry?
Touch-drying usually occurs within a few hours, but it is recommended to wait at least 4 hours before applying a second coat under normal room temperature conditions.
Do I need to use a primer?
If you are painting over bare plaster or a very porous surface, a mist coat or primer is recommended to ensure even coverage.
How should I clean my brushes after use?
Since this is a water-based emulsion, you can clean brushes and rollers easily with warm soapy water.
Is the finish matte or glossy?
It is a 'soft sheen' finish, which sits in between a matte and a satin finish, providing a subtle, sophisticated luster.
Troubleshooting
Paint appears patchy after first coat
The first coat often serves as a base; apply a second coat once the first is fully dry to achieve full opacity and an even finish.
Visible roller marks
Ensure you are using a quality roller, avoid overworking the paint, and maintain a 'wet edge' while applying to ensure seamless blending.
Paint not adhering well
Check that the surface was properly cleaned and sanded if previously painted with a non-porous or high-gloss finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before application, ensure that all walls and ceilings are clean, dry, and free from loose paint, dust, or grease. If painting over existing gloss or semi-gloss surfaces, lightly sand the area to provide a key for adhesion. Use a high-quality roller or brush suitable for water-based emulsions to achieve the best results. For maintenance, simply use a soft, damp cloth or sponge to gently remove dust or surface dirt. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can dull the finish over time. Store the paint in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly sealed to prevent the emulsion from drying out.
