FAQs
Do I need to prime before using Plum Pudding paint?
No, Plum Pudding paint is self-priming, so you do not need to apply a separate primer.
Do I need to apply a top coat?
No, Plum Pudding paint is self-sealing, eliminating the need for a top coat.
What surfaces can I use this paint on?
This paint is suitable for interior furniture, interior woodwork, trims, skirting, doors, kitchen cupboards, and built-in furniture made of wood or laminate.
How much area will a 750ml tin cover?
A 750ml tin will provide a coat of up to 12.5m². For a durable finish, a minimum of 2 coats is required, so your 750ml tin should provide full coverage for 6m² on non-porous surfaces.
Is this paint safe for children's toys?
Yes, it is EN71-3 certified, making it safe for use on children's toys.
How do I clean the painted surfaces?
Clean with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners. For tougher marks, use a mild detergent solution.
Can I mix batches of different Plum Pudding paint?
When more than 1 tin of the same colour is needed, it is good practice to ensure batch numbers are identical or to intermix batches prior to commencing painting.
Troubleshooting
Paint not adhering properly
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and properly prepared. Lightly sand glossy surfaces before painting.
Uneven finish or streaks
Apply paint in thin, even coats. Avoid over-brushing or over-rolling. Ensure the brush or roller is suitable for the paint type.
Paint chipping or peeling
Ensure the surface is properly prepared and that two coats of paint are applied. Make sure the paint has fully cured before use.
