FAQs
What surfaces can I use this paint on?
This paint is designed for use on wood, laminate, metal, and previously painted surfaces. Always prepare the surface correctly for best results.
How long does the paint take to dry?
The paint typically dries to the touch in approximately 1 hour. However, it's recommended to allow at least 24 hours for full curing before exposing the surface to heavy use.
Do I need a primer?
For most surfaces, especially wood and laminate, a light sanding will suffice. For very tricky surfaces or to ensure maximum durability, a suitable primer can be used. Always test on an inconspicuous area.
Can I use this paint on outdoor furniture?
This paint is designed for indoor furniture and surfaces. For outdoor use, a paint specifically formulated for exterior conditions would be more appropriate.
How much area does a 125ml tin cover?
A 125ml tin covers approximately 1.75m² on average (based on 14m² per litre coverage). This is suitable for smaller projects or touch-ups.
How should I clean my newly painted surface?
Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the satin finish.
What is the finish of this paint?
This paint provides a silk-touch satin finish, offering a smooth, low-sheen look.
Troubleshooting
Paint is not adhering well
Ensure the surface was properly cleaned and de-greased before application. Lightly sand glossy surfaces to improve adhesion and remove any dust before painting.
Uneven finish or brush marks visible
Apply paint in thin, even coats using a good quality brush or roller. Avoid over-brushing. Ensure paint is stirred well before use. Consider a second coat for a more uniform look.
Paint takes too long to dry
Drying times can be affected by humidity and temperature. Ensure you are painting in a well-ventilated area with moderate temperatures (ideally between 15-25°C). Avoid applying excessively thick coats.
Color appears different than expected
The final color can depend on the original surface color and the number of coats applied. Test on a small, hidden area first. Ensure the paint is thoroughly mixed, as pigments can settle.
