FAQs
What is the best surface for this paint?
This paint is best suited for interior walls and ceilings, including plaster, drywall, and previously painted surfaces in good condition.
How many coats should I apply?
Generally, two coats are recommended for optimal coverage and a uniform finish. However, this may vary depending on the existing surface colour and condition.
How long does the paint take to dry?
The paint is quick-drying. Touch dry times are typically around 1-2 hours, with recoating possible after 2-4 hours, but always refer to the product label for precise drying times.
Can I use this paint in a bathroom or kitchen?
While it can be used, a vinyl matt finish is generally not recommended for high-moisture areas like bathrooms or kitchens where a more durable, washable finish (like vinyl silk or eggshell) might be preferable.
Is this paint washable?
The vinyl matt finish offers some washability, allowing for gentle cleaning with a damp cloth. However, it is not as durable or scrubbable as gloss or silk finishes.
What is the coverage rate?
The paint offers excellent coverage, typically around 12-15 square meters per litre per coat, but this can vary based on the surface texture and absorbency.
Why can't I return this paint?
This product is mixed to order to achieve the specific Sage Green colour. As a custom-mixed product, it cannot be returned or refunded unless faulty.
Troubleshooting
Paint not covering evenly
Ensure the surface was properly prepared and primed. Stir the paint thoroughly and apply in consistent, overlapping strokes. Consider a third coat if necessary.
Brush marks or roller texture visible
Ensure you are using good quality application tools. Apply thin, even coats and avoid overworking the paint. Allow sufficient drying time between coats.
Colour looks different after drying
Allow the paint to dry completely, as the colour can change slightly. Ensure adequate lighting in the room to assess the true colour. Check that you have applied the recommended number of coats.
Paint peeling or flaking
This usually indicates poor surface preparation or incompatible primer. Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and sound before application. Remove any loose paint and re-prime if necessary.
