FAQs
How much paint do I need for a room?
The 2.5L can generally covers a medium-sized room with two coats, but actual coverage depends on the surface's porosity and texture. It's always best to measure your walls (height x width) and account for windows/doors, then refer to the product's estimated coverage per litre on the can.
How many coats of paint are recommended?
For optimal color depth and an even finish, we generally recommend applying two coats of Crown Crafted Flat Matt Paint. On some surfaces or when painting over a very dark color, a third coat might be beneficial.
Can this paint be used in a bathroom or kitchen?
This paint is designed for interior walls, ceilings, and wood, and has a flat matt finish. While suitable for general living areas, for high-humidity environments like bathrooms and kitchens, or high-traffic areas, a paint specifically formulated for moisture resistance and enhanced durability might be a better choice.
How long does it take for the paint to dry?
Crown Crafted Flat Matt Paint is typically touch dry within a few hours. However, always allow sufficient time before applying a second coat. Refer to the specific recoat time on the product label for best results. Full cure can take several days.
How do I clean my brushes and rollers?
Clean brushes and rollers immediately after use with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly until all paint residue is removed, then reshape bristles and allow to air dry.
Is this paint suitable for children's rooms?
Yes, the 'breath-easy' formula is designed to minimize allergy triggers, making it a suitable choice for children's rooms where a healthy indoor environment is a priority. However, for highly active children's rooms, consider that flat matt finishes can be harder to clean than more durable, washable finishes.
What is the best way to store leftover paint?
Store any leftover paint in its original container with the lid tightly sealed. Keep it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and frost. Properly stored, the paint can remain usable for an extended period.
Troubleshooting
Uneven finish or streaks after drying
This often occurs due to applying too much paint, inconsistent brush/roller pressure, or not allowing sufficient drying time between coats. Ensure thin, even coats and use a good quality roller or brush. Allow each coat to dry completely before applying the next.
Paint not adhering well to the surface
Poor adhesion is usually a sign of inadequate surface preparation. Ensure surfaces are thoroughly cleaned, sanded (if previously painted gloss), and primed where necessary. Remove any loose or flaky existing paint before application.
Bubbles or blistering appearing in the paint
This can be caused by applying paint to a surface that is too warm, applying thick coats, or painting over a damp surface. Ensure the room temperature is moderate, apply thin coats, and always paint on a dry, prepared surface. Ensure sufficient ventilation.
Color appears different from expectation
Paint color can be influenced by lighting conditions, the color of the underlying surface, and the number of coats applied. Always apply at least two coats for true color representation. Check the lighting in the room at different times of the day.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Surface Preparation (Setup)
Proper preparation is key to achieving a professional-looking finish and ensuring paint longevity.
- Clean: Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, dirt, grease, and loose or flaking paint.
- Fill: Fill any holes or cracks with appropriate filler and sand smooth once dry.
- Sand: Lightly sand previously painted gloss surfaces to provide a key for adhesion. Dust off thoroughly.
- Prime: For bare wood or significantly different existing colors, apply a suitable primer or undercoat. This will enhance adhesion and color uniformity.
- Mask: Use painter's tape to protect adjacent surfaces, trim, and light fixtures.
Compatibility
This paint is specifically formulated for interior use on:
- Walls
- Ceilings
- Wooden surfaces (e.g., skirting boards, door frames, furniture)
It is not recommended for exterior use or surfaces that require a highly durable, washable finish (e.g., kitchens, bathrooms, high-traffic hallways) where a more hard-wearing paint type might be preferred.
Care (Post-Application & Storage)
- Cleaning Tools: Clean brushes and rollers immediately after use with warm, soapy water.
- Spills: Wipe up spills and splatters immediately with a damp cloth before the paint dries.
- Drying: Allow painted surfaces to fully cure (which can take several days to weeks) before subjecting them to heavy use or cleaning.
- Storage: Store any unused paint in its original container, tightly sealed, in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and frost. Ensure the lid is securely closed to prevent skinning.
