FAQs

Can I use this paint outdoors?

No, this specific product is formulated exclusively for interior use.

Is this paint safe for children's furniture?

The plant-based, water-based formula is generally safer than traditional solvent-based paints, but always allow the product to fully cure before use.

How many coats do I need?

Two coats are generally recommended for full coverage and to achieve the optimal durability of the satin finish.

Is the white finish a pure white?

No, this is a subtle green-toned off-white, providing a softer, more airy quality than a stark, clinical white.

How do I clean my brushes after use?

As this is a water-based paint, brushes can be cleaned easily with warm, soapy water immediately after application.

Troubleshooting

Paint appears streaky upon application.

Ensure you are using a high-quality synthetic brush and avoid over-working the paint once it begins to set.

Poor adhesion to surface.

Verify the surface was properly sanded and cleaned of oils or dust prior to painting; consider using a dedicated primer.

Finish is too shiny or dull.

The 40% sheen is fixed. Ensure even application pressure and thickness to maintain a consistent finish across the entire surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before application, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free of grease or loose debris. For best results on bare wood or metal, use a compatible primer. Stir the paint thoroughly before use to ensure the plant-based pigments are well-distributed. Apply at temperatures above 10 degrees Celsius for optimal curing. Once dried, the paint is washable; simply use a soft cloth with mild, soapy water for regular cleaning. Avoid harsh abrasive cleaners or chemicals that may degrade the satin finish over time.
