Troubleshooting

Paint is not covering in one coat.

Ensure the surface is properly prepared and not excessively porous. If painting over a dark or uneven color, a primer may be needed. Apply the paint generously and evenly.

Streaky or uneven finish.

Ensure the paint is well-stirred. Apply with consistent pressure and direction using a quality brush or roller. Avoid overworking the paint.

Paint is drying too quickly, causing brush marks.

Work in smaller sections and maintain a wet edge. Ensure the room temperature is moderate and avoid direct sunlight on the painted area.

Low odour not as expected.

While formulated for low odour, some scent may be present. Ensure good ventilation during and after application for best results.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and flaking paint. Lightly sand any glossy surfaces and wipe clean. For best results on new plaster, use a suitable plaster sealer. If painting over dark or vibrant colors, consider using a primer first.

Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply with a brush or roller, working in even strokes. Avoid over-thinning. For optimal one-coat coverage, apply generously and evenly.

Compatibility: This paint is suitable for interior walls and ceilings. It is compatible with most standard wallpaper adhesives and paints. Always test in an inconspicuous area if unsure.

Care: Clean brushes and rollers immediately after use with water. Spills should be wiped up immediately. The dried paint film is washable, but avoid excessive scrubbing, especially in the initial drying period.
