FAQs

What surfaces can I use this paint on?

This paint is suitable for interior woodwork, trims, skirting boards, doors, powder-coated radiators, metal, and furniture including kitchen cupboards and built-in furniture.

Do I need to use a primer?

No, this paint is self-priming, so you do not need to use a separate primer.

Do I need to use a top coat?

No, this paint is self-sealing, so you do not need to apply a top coat.

Is this paint safe for children's toys?

Yes, it is EN71-3 certified, making it safe for use on children's toys.

How many coats of paint are needed?

For a durable finish, a minimum of two coats is recommended.

What is the coverage of the paint?

A 500ml tin will provide a coat of up to 7m². Your 500ml tin should provide full coverage for 3.5m² on non-porous surfaces with two coats.

Can I intermix batches of the same color?

When more than 1 tin of the same colour is needed, it is good practice to ensure batch numbers are identical or to intermix batches prior to commencing painting.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering properly.

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and properly prepared. Lightly sand the surface for better adhesion.

The finish is not smooth.

Ensure even application, avoid overloading the brush, and lightly sand between coats if needed.

Coverage is less than expected.

Porous surfaces may require additional coats. Ensure the paint is applied in thin, even layers.
