FAQs

Can this paint be used in bathrooms?

While durable, this paint is designed for standard interior environments. It is not specifically moisture-resistant, so it is best used in low-humidity areas like living rooms or bedrooms.

Do I need a primer?

If you are painting over a previously painted surface in good condition, a primer may not be necessary. However, for raw wood or porous surfaces, a primer is highly recommended.

How long does it take to dry?

The paint is fast-drying, typically touch-dry within a few hours, but it is recommended to wait at least 4-6 hours between coats depending on room temperature.

How many coats should I apply?

Two coats are generally sufficient for full coverage and the intended depth of color, though some surfaces may require a third depending on the base color being covered.

Can I use this on metal surfaces?

This paint is formulated primarily for interior woodwork and walls. Using it on metal may require a specialized metal primer to ensure adhesion and prevent oxidation.

Troubleshooting

Paint is showing brush marks

Ensure you are using a high-quality synthetic brush and consider adding a very small amount of water to improve flow, or apply thinner coats.

Poor adhesion to surface

The surface may not have been cleaned properly. Sand the area, remove all dust, and ensure a compatible primer is used.

Finish looks too shiny or too flat

Stir the paint thoroughly before use to ensure the matting agents are evenly distributed, as separation can occur in the tin.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best finish, ensure your surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. If painting over bare wood, a suitable primer should be applied first to ensure even adhesion. For walls, ensure the surface is stable and primed if necessary. Use a high-quality synthetic brush or a short-pile mohair roller to apply the paint in thin, even coats to avoid drips or uneven textures. Between coats, lightly sand with fine-grit sandpaper if a glass-smooth finish is desired. To maintain your painted surfaces, avoid harsh abrasive cleaners; instead, use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap for spot cleaning. Keep the paint tin tightly sealed in a cool, dry place when not in use.
