FAQs
What surfaces can Crown Trade Vinyl Matt Emulsion be used on?
This emulsion is designed for interior walls and ceilings. It is not suitable for wood, metal, or exterior surfaces.
Can this paint be used in a bathroom or kitchen?
While durable, this is a vinyl matt emulsion which is not specifically formulated for high-moisture environments like kitchens or bathrooms. For these areas, a vinyl silk or vinyl soft sheen finish is generally recommended.
How long does the paint take to dry?
The paint is quick drying. Recoating time is typically 2-4 hours, but this can vary depending on temperature and humidity.
Can I return this paint if I change my mind?
No, this paint is mixed to order and therefore cannot be refunded or exchanged. Please ensure you have selected the correct colour and quantity before purchasing.
What is the best way to apply the paint?
You can apply it using a brush, roller, or spray. Ensure even application for the best finish.
How do I clean my brushes and rollers after use?
Clean your tools immediately after use with water.
How do I clean painted walls after the paint has dried?
Allow the paint to cure for at least two weeks. Then, clean gently with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Troubleshooting
Uneven finish or brush marks visible
Ensure the paint is well stirred and applied evenly. Use a good quality brush or roller. Avoid overworking the paint and apply in consistent strokes. Ensure the surface is properly prepared and not too porous.
Poor coverage on the first coat
While the paint has excellent opacity, very dark or stained surfaces may require an additional coat or a primer. Ensure you are applying a sufficiently thick coat.
Paint is too thick or difficult to spread
Ensure the paint has been stirred thoroughly. In cooler conditions, you can slightly thin the first coat with a small amount of water (up to 5%) if needed, but this is generally not recommended for subsequent coats.
Colour appears different after drying
Colours can appear slightly different when wet versus dry. Allow the paint to dry completely before judging the final colour. Ensure adequate lighting when assessing the colour.
