Its low VOC content is a significant advantage, meaning less pungent odor during application and a healthier living environment post-painting. The paint's smooth consistency allows for excellent spreadability and coverage, reducing the effort needed to achieve a professional finish. For optimal performance, always ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from loose material before application.
Prepare the Surface: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and smooth. Remove any loose or flaking paint, dirt, or grease. Fill any cracks or holes and sand smooth. For previously painted surfaces, a light sanding may be beneficial. For bare or highly absorbent surfaces, a suitable primer may be required.
Stir Thoroughly: Before use and periodically during application, stir the paint well to ensure an even consistency and color.
Application: Apply with a good quality brush or roller. For rollers, use a medium pile for a smooth finish. Apply the paint evenly in thin, consistent coats.
Number of Coats: Typically, two coats are recommended for full coverage and depth of color, especially over darker previous colors. Allow sufficient drying time between coats.
Drying Time: Info needed: [Refer to product label for specific drying and recoat times.]
Interior Use Only: This paint is formulated for interior walls, ceilings, furniture, and cabinets.
Surface Types: Compatible with most common interior building materials, including plaster, drywall, wood, and previously painted surfaces.
Cleaning: For routine cleaning, gently wipe the painted surface with a soft, damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive cleaners, as this can damage the matt finish.
Spot Cleaning: Address spills or marks promptly to prevent them from setting into the paint.
Maintenance: Periodically inspect surfaces for any minor damage. Touch-ups can be done using the same paint to maintain a consistent finish.
