FAQs
How much area does the tester cover?
The 40ml tester is designed for small areas and touch-ups, not for covering entire rooms. Expect it to cover a small area, suitable for colour testing.
Can I use this tester on wood?
While primarily for walls and ceilings, it can be tested on primed wood surfaces, but always test in an inconspicuous area first.
How long does it take for the paint to dry?
Drying times can vary depending on conditions, but it typically dries to the touch within a few hours. Allow for a full day before assessing the final colour.
Is the paint washable?
The matt finish is washable, although it may not be as durable as a more scrubbable finish. Clean any marks gently with a damp cloth.
Is the paint suitable for bathrooms?
Yes, it can be used in bathrooms but ensure adequate ventilation to prevent moisture build-up.
Can I use this tester on top of other paints?
Yes, but ensure the existing paint is in good condition and clean before applying the tester.
Troubleshooting
Uneven colour application
Ensure the surface is properly prepared and apply an even coat. Multiple thin coats are better than one thick coat.
Colour appears different after drying
Allow the paint to dry completely. The colour will change as it dries.
