FAQs
What is the best finish for this paint?
This paint provides a flat matt finish, which is ideal for interior walls and ceilings as it helps to disguise minor surface imperfections and creates a soft, non-reflective appearance.
Can I use this paint on woodwork?
This product is specifically designed for interior walls and ceilings. For woodwork, a different type of paint, such as an eggshell or satin finish, may be more appropriate.
How many coats do I need?
The paint offers excellent coverage and often requires fewer coats than standard paints. However, the exact number of coats will depend on the surface condition and the colour you are covering. Two coats are typically recommended for best results.
What is the drying time?
The paint dries quickly, allowing redecoration to be completed without delay. Specific drying times for recoating will be detailed on the product packaging.
Can this paint be cleaned?
While the matt finish is designed to hide imperfections, it is not as easily washable as silk or gloss finishes. Light cleaning can be done with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Why can't I return this paint?
This product is mixed to order to your specific colour requirement (in this case, Wiltshire White), which means it cannot be returned or refunded unless it is faulty.
What size is this container?
This container holds 5 litres of paint.
Troubleshooting
Paint is too thick
Stir the paint thoroughly. If still too thick for application, a very small amount of clean water may be added (follow manufacturer guidance).
Uneven coverage or brush marks visible
Ensure the paint is stirred well. Apply in thin, even coats, maintaining a 'wet edge' to avoid lap marks. Use a good quality brush or roller.
Paint not hiding previous colour effectively
Apply an additional coat. Consider using a primer tinted towards the new colour if significant colour change is required.
Surface imperfections still visible
The matt finish helps, but significant texture or damage may require surface repair before painting for a perfectly smooth look.
