Surface Preparation is Key: For the best results, ensure your walls and ceilings are clean, dry, and smooth. Fill any cracks or holes, sand lightly if necessary, and wipe down to remove dust. For new plaster or highly absorbent surfaces, a suitable primer or a diluted first coat (mist coat) is recommended to ensure even absorption and adhesion.
Achieving an Even Finish: Stir the paint thoroughly before and during use. Apply with a good quality roller for large areas and a brush for edges and corners. Apply in even strokes, avoiding overworking the paint, which can lead to streaks. Typically, two coats will provide optimal colour depth and coverage, but this can vary depending on the original surface colour and condition. Allow recommended drying time between coats.
Real-World Impact: The Candy Clay red hue can transform a dull room into a vibrant, inviting space, perfect for a feature wall or an entire room with a bold statement. Its matt finish helps to conceal minor wall imperfections, making it a popular choice for older homes or rooms where a pristine, flat look is desired. The 'Breatheasy' formula is particularly beneficial for bedrooms or living areas where prolonged ventilation might be challenging, allowing you to enjoy your newly painted room sooner without strong paint odours.
Before opening, gently shake or stir the paint for even consistency. Ensure the room is well-ventilated during application. Protect surrounding areas with dust sheets and painter's tape.
Crown Walls and Ceilings Matt Emulsion is designed for interior walls and ceilings, including plaster, drywall, and previously painted surfaces. For bare wood or metal, or specific plastic surfaces, a suitable primer designed for those materials should be used first, as this paint is not formulated for direct application on such substrates.
Clean brushes and rollers immediately after use with warm soapy water. For leftover paint, seal the tin tightly and store in a cool, dry, frost-free place. Do not empty paint into drains or watercourses.
