FAQs
How do I clean up paint spills?
Clean up spills and tools immediately after use with warm, soapy water. For dried spills on surfaces, gently wipe with a damp cloth.
Can this paint be used in a bathroom?
This paint is primarily for interior walls and ceilings in normal living conditions. For high-moisture areas like bathrooms, a specialized moisture-resistant paint is generally recommended.
What is the coverage rate?
The paint covers approximately 12 square meters per litre.
Why can't I return this paint?
This paint is mixed to order specifically for your purchase. This process helps minimize waste. Therefore, it cannot be returned unless there is a quality issue with the product itself.
How long does the paint need to dry between coats?
Allow at least 2-4 hours for the first coat to dry before applying a second coat. Drying times can vary based on temperature and humidity.
Can I paint over existing gloss paint?
Yes, but ensure the gloss surface is properly prepared. Lightly sand the surface to create a key for the emulsion paint to adhere to, and wipe away any dust before applying. A primer may also be beneficial.
Is this paint suitable for textured walls?
Yes, this emulsion paint is suitable for most interior wall surfaces, including lightly textured ones.
Troubleshooting
Uneven colour or finish after drying
Ensure the paint was stirred thoroughly before application. Apply in consistent, even strokes, avoiding overworking the paint. Ensure the previous coat (if any) was fully dry before applying the next.
Paint is too thick or difficult to apply
Check if the paint has been stored correctly. While this is a water-based paint and generally easy to apply, slight thinning might be possible with a minimal amount of water if absolutely necessary, but refer to specific product guidelines. Ensure you are using appropriate application tools.
Poor adhesion or peeling
The surface may not have been adequately prepared. Ensure the wall or ceiling was clean, dry, and free from dust or grease before painting. For glossy surfaces, ensure they were properly primed or sanded.
Color appears different from the sample/screen
Note that screen colours can vary. The final appearance of the paint can also be affected by lighting conditions and the color of the surface underneath. It's recommended to test a small area first if color accuracy is critical.
