FAQs
Do I need a primer or topcoat with this paint?

How much area does a 500ml tin cover?
A 500ml tin covers up to 7m² with a single coat. For a more durable finish requiring two coats, you can expect coverage of approximately 3.5m².
Is this paint suitable for kitchen cupboards?
Yes, it is suitable for interior furniture, including kitchen cupboards, both wood and laminate, provided they are properly prepared and cleaned.
Can I use this paint outdoors?
No, this paint is specifically formulated for interior use only and is not suitable for exterior applications.
How long does the paint need to dry?
The paint typically dries to the touch within 1-2 hours, but it is recommended to allow 24-48 hours before moderate use and up to a week for the finish to fully cure and harden.
Is the paint safe for children's furniture?
Yes, the paint is UKCA and EN71-3 certified, making it safe for use on children's toys and furniture.
What is the finish of this paint?
The paint provides a soft-satin sheen.
Troubleshooting
Paint is too thick or difficult to apply
Stir the paint thoroughly. If still too thick, you can add a very small amount of water (e.g., 1 tsp per 500ml) and mix well. Avoid adding too much water, as this can affect the finish.
Uneven or streaky finish
Ensure you are using a good quality brush or roller appropriate for water-based paints. Apply thin, even coats. Avoid overworking the paint. Ensure good lighting to see where you have painted.
Scuff marks appearing too soon
Ensure the paint has been allowed to cure fully. The scuff resistance improves significantly after 24-48 hours of drying and full hardness develops over the following days. Avoid heavy use until fully cured.
Paint not adhering well to laminate surfaces
Ensure the laminate surface is scrupulously clean and free from any residue. Lightly sanding the surface with fine-grit sandpaper (around 220 grit) can improve adhesion before painting. Ensure no primer or topcoat is needed as per the product description.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Minimal setup is required. Ensure the surface to be painted is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Stir the paint thoroughly before use.
Compatibility: This paint is recommended for interior woodwork, trims, skirting, and doors. It is also suitable for radiators (ensure they are cool and clean), metal surfaces, and various types of furniture, including laminate and previously painted or bare wood. It is not intended for exterior use.
Care: For routine cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive scrubbing, as this could damage the finish. Allow the paint to cure fully (typically 24-48 hours, with full hardness developing over a week) before exposing it to heavy wear and tear to ensure maximum durability.
