Product Information
Full details
The Rustins Quick Dry Matt Emulsion Paint in Grey is designed for interior touch-ups and general use on walls that experience wear and tear. Its key benefit is its fast-drying, water-borne acrylic formulation, which allows for easy application and quick recoating with minimal odor. A potential caveat is that it's primarily intended for interior touch-ups, not necessarily for large-scale priming or exterior applications. This high-quality emulsion provides a smooth, durable matt finish.

Can I paint over existing gloss paint?
Yes, but you must prepare the surface first. Lightly sand the gloss surface to provide a key for the emulsion to adhere to, then clean off any dust before painting.
Troubleshooting
Paint is too thick or streaky
Stir the paint thoroughly. If still too thick, add a very small amount of water (e.g., 10% by volume) and mix well. Ensure the surface is properly prepared and not overly absorbent.
Uneven color after drying
Ensure the paint was stirred well before application and during use. Apply paint evenly with consistent pressure and direction. Allow the first coat to dry completely before applying a second if needed.
Poor adhesion or peeling
The surface may not have been properly prepared. Ensure it was clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or loose paint. Sanding glossy surfaces is crucial for adhesion.
