FAQs
Is this paint suitable for kitchens or bathrooms?
While it is durable and scrub-resistant, it is formulated specifically for interior walls and ceilings. For high-humidity areas like bathrooms, ensure the room is well-ventilated.
Do I need a primer before using this paint?
If the wall is clean and in good condition, a primer is usually not necessary. However, if you are painting over a very dark color or a porous surface, a primer will help achieve a better finish.
How long does the paint take to dry?
Drying times vary based on humidity and temperature, but it is generally touch-dry within a few hours and fully cured within 24 hours.
Can I use this on wood or metal?
This specific formula is designed for wall and ceiling substrates. You should use dedicated furniture or metal paints for those surfaces.
How should I clean my brushes after use?
Since this is a water-based formula, you can simply clean your brushes and rollers with warm, soapy water immediately after use.
Troubleshooting
Visible brush marks after drying
Ensure you are using a high-quality synthetic brush and avoid overworking the paint once it begins to tack up.
Paint not adhering well to the wall
Check that the surface is completely free of grease, dust, or moisture. If the wall is glossy, lightly sand it before painting.
Uneven finish or patches
Ensure the paint is stirred thoroughly before use and that you are maintaining a 'wet edge' while rolling.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before applying the paint, stir the contents thoroughly to ensure consistent pigment distribution. You can apply the paint using a quality synthetic brush or a medium-nap roller for an even finish. Ensure the ambient temperature is above 10 degrees Celsius for optimal drying times. Once dried, the paint is durable enough to handle occasional wiping with a damp cloth; avoid harsh chemical cleaners which may compromise the finish over time. For storage, keep the tin sealed tightly in a cool, dry place, away from direct frost.
