The Crown Breatheasy Matt Feature Wall Tester Pot is specifically engineered for effective color sampling. Its rich pigmentation ensures that the small amount of paint provides an accurate representation of the final color. To get the most out of your tester pot:
Surface Preparation: Ensure the surface where you apply the test patch is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. For best results, apply to a white or neutrally primed surface.
Application: Use a small brush or a mini roller to apply the paint. Apply two coats for a truer color representation, allowing adequate drying time between coats.
Test Location: Apply the test patch to an area that receives various levels of natural and artificial light throughout the day. This helps you understand how the color will appear at different times.
Size of Patch: Aim for a test patch of at least 30x30cm (12x12 inches) to get a good sense of the color's impact.
Observation Period: Live with the test patch for a few days if possible, observing it under different lighting conditions and at different times of day to ensure you are happy with the shade before purchasing a larger quantity.
Preparation: Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and smooth. Remove any loose paint or debris.
Stirring: Open the pot and stir the paint thoroughly with a small stick or mixing tool until it's a consistent creamy texture. This ensures even color distribution.
Application Tool: Use a small, clean paintbrush or a mini foam roller for best application of the test patch.
Surfaces: This paint is compatible with interior walls and ceilings, including plaster, drywall, and previously painted surfaces (ensure they are clean and sound).
Undercoat: For optimal color accuracy, especially on darker or unevenly coloured surfaces, consider applying a white or neutral primer/undercoat first.
Cleaning Tools: Wash brushes and rollers immediately after use with warm soapy water.
Storage: Tightly seal the lid on the tester pot to prevent the paint from drying out. Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and frost. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
Spills: Clean up any spills immediately with a damp cloth.
