FAQs

What surfaces can I use this paint on?

How do I clean my brushes and rollers?

Clean brushes and rollers immediately after use with warm, soapy water.

Can I use this paint in a bathroom or kitchen?

Is this paint washable?

How long does the paint take to dry?

Drying times can vary, but typically, the paint will be touch dry in 2-4 hours. Allow at least 4 hours between coats.

Troubleshooting

Paint appears streaky after application.

Ensure paint is properly stirred and apply an even coat. Multiple thin coats are better than one thick coat.

The colour is not as expected.

Consider lighting and the existing wall colour. Test the paint in an inconspicuous area first.

Paint is not adhering properly.

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and primed if necessary. Lightly sand glossy surfaces to improve adhesion.
