FAQs
Can I use this paint in a bathroom?
No, this is an interior wall emulsion and is not formulated for the high-humidity, wet environment of a bathroom.
How long does it take to dry?
The paint is quick-drying; it is usually touch-dry within a few hours, though drying times vary based on room temperature and humidity.
Do I need a primer?
For new or porous surfaces, a suitable primer or base coat is always recommended to ensure even color and better adhesion.
How many coats should I apply?
While the paint has excellent coverage, two coats are generally recommended for the most durable and uniform finish.
Is this paint safe for pet areas?
Yes, its low-VOC formulation makes it safer for indoor spaces, though it should be allowed to cure fully before animals are kept in the room.
Can I use this on wood or metal?
This emulsion is specifically designed for walls and ceilings; it is not recommended for wood or metal surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Visible roller marks after drying
Ensure you are using a medium-pile roller and maintaining a 'wet edge' while painting. Do not overwork the paint once it begins to set.
Paint not adhering well to the surface
Check that the wall was properly cleaned of dust, grease, or peeling old paint. Apply a suitable primer before reapplying the emulsion.
Finish looks shiny in some areas
This is likely 'burnishing' caused by over-brushing or using an incorrect roller. Ensure even pressure during application.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before starting, ensure your walls are clean, dry, and free of dust or grease. Use a high-quality synthetic brush or a medium-pile roller for optimal results.
Compatibility: This emulsion is specifically designed for interior plaster, drywall, and masonry surfaces. It is not suitable for damp areas like bathrooms or areas subject to heavy condensation.
Care: To maintain the finish, avoid aggressive scrubbing. If marks appear, gently spot-clean with a slightly damp, soft microfiber cloth, using only water or a very mild, non-abrasive detergent. Avoid using heavy chemicals or abrasive sponges, as these can burnish or 'polish' the matt surface, creating unwanted shiny patches.
