FAQs

How much area does a 75ml tester pot cover?

The coverage will depend on the surface and the application method. However, a 75ml tester pot is designed for small areas, typically to test the colour.

Can I use this paint in a bathroom or kitchen?

While suitable for indoor use, consider a paint specifically designed for high-moisture areas like bathrooms or kitchens for added durability and mold resistance.

How long does it take for the paint to dry?

Drying times vary, but typically, the paint will be touch dry in 2-4 hours. Allow at least 4 hours between coats.

What tools do I need to apply this paint?

You'll need a brush or roller, a paint tray, and possibly some masking tape for protecting trim.

Can I apply this paint directly over existing paint?

Yes, but ensure the existing paint is sound and properly prepared (cleaned and lightly sanded). A primer may be required on some surfaces.

Is this paint washable?

The matt finish is less washable than a silk finish, but you can gently wipe away marks with a damp cloth.

What is the difference between matt and silk finishes?

Matt finishes have a non-reflective, flat appearance, while silk finishes have a slight sheen and are more wipeable.

Troubleshooting

Paint appears streaky after application.

Ensure even application, avoid over-brushing or rolling, and allow adequate drying time between coats.

Paint doesn't cover well.

Ensure the surface is properly primed, and apply a second coat for full coverage.

Paint smells strong despite being low odour.

Ensure proper ventilation during and after painting; some odour is normal.
