The Crown Breatheasy Matt Feature Wall Tester Pot is primarily designed for color evaluation and small-scale decorative projects. Its 40ml volume is sufficient to paint a significant patch (approximately 0.5 square meters with one coat, depending on surface porosity) on a wall, allowing you to see how the pink shade interacts with your room's lighting and existing decor throughout the day.
Real-World Applications:
Colour Testing: Before committing to a larger paint purchase, apply the tester pot to a discreet area or a piece of cardboard to visualize the exact shade in your home environment. This helps prevent costly mistakes.
Accent Detailing: Use it for painting small, intricate details, stencils, or thin stripes on a feature wall.
Creative Crafts: Ideal for small craft projects or upcycling small items where only a tiny amount of paint is needed.
Touch-Ups: Can be used for minor touch-ups on existing pink painted surfaces if the color is a match.
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and smooth for optimal adhesion and a uniform finish. A single coat often provides good color intensity for testing, but a second coat can be applied for full opacity if desired, especially on darker existing surfaces.
Prepare the Surface: Ensure the wall or surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, dirt, and grease. For best results, fill any cracks or holes and sand smooth.
Stir the Paint: Open the pot and stir the paint thoroughly with a small stick or stirrer until it has a consistent, creamy texture.
Application: Apply the paint using a small brush or roller. For color testing, apply a patch on your wall in an area that receives different lighting throughout the day.
Drying: Allow adequate drying time between coats (typically 4 hours) and before evaluation.
Surfaces: Compatible with most interior wall and ceiling surfaces, including plaster, plasterboard, and previously painted walls (ensure previous paint is sound and prepared).
Undercoats: Generally, no undercoat is required for testing purposes on light-colored walls. For significant color changes or porous surfaces, a suitable primer/undercoat might improve finish and coverage if you decide to use a larger volume of paint.
Brush Cleaning: Clean brushes and rollers immediately after use with warm water.
Storage: Store the tester pot in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed to prevent the paint from drying out. Once opened, use within a few weeks for best results.
