FAQs

How much paint will I need?

Coverage varies depending on the surface and application method. A general guide is provided on the paint tin. Always calculate the area to be painted to determine the amount needed.

Can I use this paint in a bathroom?

While the paint is washable, it's best suited for areas with less moisture. Consider a specifically designed bathroom paint for areas prone to high humidity.

What tools do I need?

You will need a paint brush or roller, a paint tray, a stirrer, and masking tape (if required).

How do I clean my brushes and rollers?

Clean brushes and rollers immediately after use with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and allow to dry completely.

Can I apply this paint directly over existing paint?

Yes, but ensure the existing paint is in good condition, clean, and properly prepared. Priming is recommended for best results, especially when changing colours.

What is the drying time?

Drying times can vary, but generally, allow for 2-4 hours between coats. Check the manufacturer's instructions on the tin for precise details.

Is this paint suitable for exterior use?

No, this paint is designed for interior use only.

Troubleshooting

Paint appears streaky after application

Ensure paint is thoroughly mixed. Apply even coats and avoid over-brushing or over-rolling. Check the application tools for any debris.

Paint doesn't cover the existing colour adequately

Apply a primer before painting, and apply a second coat of the Brilliant White Vinyl Matt Paint. Ensure the surface is properly prepared.

Paint takes too long to dry

Ensure adequate ventilation and check the room temperature and humidity. Allow sufficient drying time between coats.
