FAQs
What surfaces can I apply this paint to?
This paint is suitable for interior walls and ceilings, particularly those made of plaster. Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and properly prepared before application.
How many coats of paint should I apply?
For best results, apply two coats of paint. Allow the first coat to dry completely before applying the second coat.
Do I need to prime the surface before painting?
It is generally not necessary to prime previously coated surfaces. For new plaster, follow the manufacturer's recommended dilution guidelines for the first coat.
How do I clean up after painting?

What is the coverage of this paint?
Coverage can vary depending on the surface and application method. Typically, you can expect around 12-14 square meters per liter.
Can I use this paint in a bathroom?
While suitable for interior use, it is a matt finish and might not be ideal for areas with high moisture. Consider a paint specifically designed for bathrooms.
How long does it take for the paint to dry?
Allow approximately 2-4 hours drying time between coats under normal conditions. Drying times may vary depending on environmental conditions.
Troubleshooting
Paint is not covering the surface evenly.
Ensure thorough stirring of the paint before application. Apply a second coat if necessary, allowing sufficient drying time between coats.
