FAQs
What is the finish of this paint?
This paint has a luxurious velvet matt finish, offering a soft, non-reflective appearance.
Is this paint suitable for high-traffic areas?
Yes, the formula is washable and durable, making it suitable for areas that experience regular wear and tear.
Can I return this paint if I change my mind?
No, because this paint is mixed to order, it cannot be returned or refunded.
What does Low VOC mean?
Low VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) means the paint releases fewer harmful chemicals into the air, contributing to better indoor air quality.
How many coats are typically recommended?
Coverage can vary based on the surface. Generally, two coats are recommended for best results, but refer to the product instructions for specific guidance.
Can this paint be used in a kitchen or bathroom?
While it is washable, it is primarily designed for general interior walls and ceilings. For high-moisture areas, consider using a paint specifically formulated for kitchens and bathrooms or ensure adequate ventilation and consider a suitable sealant.
How should I prepare my walls before painting?
Walls should be clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and loose paint. Fill any imperfections and consider priming if necessary.
Troubleshooting
Uneven colour or patchiness after painting
Ensure the paint was thoroughly stirred before application. Apply paint evenly, using consistent brush/roller strokes. Check for adequate lighting to spot missed areas. A second coat may be necessary for full coverage.
Paint is not adhering well to the surface
Verify the surface was properly prepared (clean, dry, free from dust or grease). Apply an appropriate primer if the surface is new, porous, or has a slick finish. Ensure all previous coatings are sound.
Brush marks or roller texture are too visible
Use a good quality brush or roller suitable for emulsions. Apply paint in a consistent direction and avoid overworking the paint. Apply a second, thinner coat for a smoother finish if needed.
