Typically, two coats are recommended for optimal colour depth and durability. However, coverage may vary depending on the surface porosity and the original colour you are covering.
This paint is specifically designed for interior walls and ceilings, including plaster, plasterboard, and other common dry building surfaces.
Info needed: [Drying time for touch dry and re-coat time will be specified on the paint can. Generally, touch dry is within 1-2 hours, and recoat time is 2-4 hours, but always check the product label for precise timings.]
While the paint provides a tough and durable finish, it's a matt emulsion. For light marks, gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid heavy scrubbing as it may burnish the matt finish and create shiny spots.
This product is a standard matt emulsion. For high-humidity areas like bathrooms and kitchens, paints with specific moisture and mould resistance are generally recommended. This paint is durable but may not offer the same level of protection against constant moisture as a specialist bathroom/kitchen paint.
For bare, new, or highly porous surfaces, priming with a suitable primer or a diluted 'mist coat' of this emulsion (e.g., 1 part paint to 10 parts water) is recommended to ensure even absorption and a smooth finish. For previously painted surfaces in good condition, priming may not be necessary.
Ensure the surface is properly prepared, clean, and primed. Apply paint evenly, avoiding overworking the brush or roller. Ensure sufficient paint is on the applicator and apply in consistent strokes. Allow each coat to dry completely before applying the next.
This often indicates poor surface preparation. Ensure the surface is clean, dry, dust-free, and any loose paint has been scraped off. For very porous or chalky surfaces, a suitable primer should be used before painting.
Paint colour can vary slightly depending on lighting conditions and the colour of the underlying surface. Always do a patch test in an inconspicuous area. Ensure the paint was thoroughly stirred before use.
While 99% solvent-free, a very slight odour may still be present. Ensure adequate ventilation during and after painting by opening windows and doors. The odour should dissipate completely as the paint dries and cures.
This paint is formulated for use on interior walls and ceilings, including plaster, plasterboard, and other common building surfaces. It is not recommended for exterior use or on surfaces that require a higher sheen or specific protective qualities, such as floors, skirting boards, or metal.
