FAQs
How long does it take for the paint to cure?
The paint is touch-dry within 1-2 hours and recoatable after 4 hours. However, it fully cures and achieves its maximum scrubbability and durability over 7-14 days.
Can I use this paint in a bathroom or kitchen?
Yes, it is suitable for kitchens and general bathroom walls due to its scrubbable finish. However, it is not recommended for very wet areas like shower enclosures or direct splash zones.
What is the coverage rate?
A 2.5l tin covers approximately 35m² with a single coat. For best results and durability, two coats are recommended, meaning a 2.5l tin will cover approximately 17.5m².
Do I need a primer or topcoat?
No, this paint is self-priming and self-sealing, eliminating the need for separate primer and topcoat products.
Is this paint safe for children's rooms?
Yes, it is EN71-3 certified, making it safe for use on children's toys and furniture, and it has low VOCs and virtually no odour for a healthier environment.
Can I use this paint on furniture?
Yes, it is suitable for wooden furniture, kitchen cupboards, and other suitable surfaces, providing a durable and washable finish.
What is the difference between the Wall Paint and the Trim Paint?
The Wall Paint has an ultra-matte finish, while the Trim Paint offers a soft-satin finish. Both are available in matching colours, allowing you to coordinate walls with woodwork like skirting boards, doors, and frames.
Troubleshooting
Paint not adhering well
Ensure the surface was clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or old flaking paint before application. For certain surfaces like unprimed metal, a light sanding and thorough degreasing may be required.
Uneven colour or streaking
Ensure the paint was thoroughly stirred before and during application. Apply paint evenly with consistent brush or roller strokes. Ensure the recommended two coats have been applied for full depth of colour.
Surface imperfections showing through
The ultra-matte finish can highlight underlying surface issues. Ensure walls are smooth and free of cracks or bumps before painting. For significant imperfections, consider a light skim or appropriate filler and ensure it is fully dry and sanded smooth.
Difficulty cleaning marks
Allow the paint to cure fully (typically 7-14 days) before attempting heavy cleaning. Use a soft cloth with mild soap and water, and avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive scrubbing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from grease, dust, and flaking paint. For most surfaces, no prior priming or sealing is necessary. Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply using a good quality brush or roller.
Compatibility: Suitable for interior walls and ceilings. Also recommended for use on:
- Wooden furniture
- Interior woodwork (skirting boards, doors, frames)
- Wooden floors
- Kitchen cupboards
- Metal (clean and degrease thoroughly)
