FAQs
What surfaces can I use this paint on?
This Crown Crafted Flat Matt Paint is suitable for interior walls, ceilings, and interior wood surfaces.
Is this paint safe for people with allergies?
Yes, it features a 'Breatheasy' formula that is designed to significantly reduce allergy triggers, making it a good choice for allergy sufferers.
How do I clean the painted surface?
Due to its flat matt finish, gently wipe any marks with a very lightly dampened, soft cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive cleaners, as this can damage the finish.
Do I need to use a primer with this paint?
While not always mandatory, a suitable primer is recommended for new, bare, or porous surfaces to ensure optimal adhesion and a uniform finish. It can also help with coverage over very dark existing colours.
How long does it take for the paint to dry?
Info needed: Please refer to the specific drying times printed on the paint tin, as these can vary based on environmental conditions like temperature and humidity.
Can I use this paint in a bathroom or kitchen?
While suitable for general interior use, flat matt finishes are generally less durable and scrubbable than higher sheen paints (like satin or silk). For high-moisture or high-traffic areas like bathrooms and kitchens, paints specifically formulated for those environments are usually recommended for better performance and durability.
Troubleshooting
Uneven finish or visible brush/roller marks.
Ensure the surface is properly prepared, clean, and smooth. Apply paint evenly, avoiding overworking the paint, and maintain a 'wet edge' by working in manageable sections. Use good quality brushes and rollers.
Paint not adhering well to the surface.
Thoroughly clean and degrease the surface before painting. For glossy or non-porous surfaces, lightly sand to create a key. Consider using a suitable primer beforehand, especially for new or problematic surfaces.
Colour appears different from the swatch or expected.
Ensure the paint was thoroughly stirred before and during application. The final colour can also be affected by lighting conditions (natural vs. artificial light) and the colour of the previous surface. Allow paint to fully dry as wet paint can appear darker.
Dust or debris sticking to the wet paint.
Ensure your painting area is as clean and dust-free as possible before starting. Close windows and doors to prevent drafts. Wipe down surfaces immediately before painting. Use lint-free rollers and brushes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Prepare the Surface: Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, dirt, grease, and loose material. Fill any cracks or holes with appropriate filler and sand smooth. For previously painted glossy surfaces, lightly sand to provide a key.
- Prime (Optional but Recommended): For new, bare, or porous surfaces, apply a suitable primer to ensure optimal adhesion and a consistent finish.
- Protect Your Space: Use painter's tape to mask off skirting boards, door frames, and ceilings. Cover furniture and flooring with dust sheets.

Care
