FAQs
What is the primary purpose of this 50ml tester pot?
The primary purpose is to test the 'Jet Black' chalky emulsion colour and finish in your own home's lighting conditions before purchasing a larger quantity.
Can I paint a small item like a picture frame with this pot?
While the pot contains only 50ml, you could potentially paint a very small item. However, it is designed and intended for colour testing on walls.
How many coats should I apply for testing?
It is recommended to apply two coats to your test surface to accurately represent the colour and chalky matt finish.
How should I store the remaining paint in the tester pot?
Reseal the pot tightly and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and frost.
What kind of finish does this paint have?
This is a chalky emulsion paint with a super flat matt finish.
How long does the paint take to dry for testing purposes?
Drying times can vary, but it is advisable to allow adequate drying time between coats, typically a few hours, before assessing the final colour and finish.
Troubleshooting
Colour looks different than expected on the test sample.
Colours can vary significantly based on lighting conditions, surrounding colours, and the surface it's applied to. Re-test in different areas of the room and at different times of day. Ensure two coats have been applied for accurate representation of the finish.
Paint is streaky when applied.
Ensure the paint is stirred thoroughly before use. If applying with a brush, use consistent strokes. If using a roller, ensure even coverage. Applying a second coat may help even out the finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This product is a paint sample and requires no setup. Ensure the tester pot is well-sealed before use.
Compatibility: The chalky emulsion is designed for interior walls and ceilings. Test application on paper or a primed surface. Avoid direct contact with water or high-moisture environments after drying, as this is a matt emulsion.
Care: To test the colour, apply with a brush or small roller. Allow each coat to dry before applying the next. Once sampled, the painted test surface should be kept dry. For any spills on surrounding surfaces during testing, clean immediately with a damp cloth. The tester pot itself should be resealed tightly and stored in a cool, dry place.
