Do I need a primer?
For best results, especially on bare or patched walls, using a quality primer is recommended to ensure even absorption.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare for application, ensure walls are clean, dry, and free of loose debris. If painting over fresh plaster, use a suitable mist coat first. The paint is compatible with standard rollers and brushes designed for water-based emulsions. For ongoing care, treat the walls gently. If marks occur, use a soft, damp cloth with very mild soapy water, dabbing lightly rather than scrubbing, as aggressive cleaning can burnish the matte finish and leave a shiny spot.
