FAQs

How much area will one 2.5L tin cover?

A 2.5L tin covers approximately 8 m² per litre, so expect around 20 m² coverage.

Can I use this paint on wood?

This paint is designed for walls and ceilings. For wood, you should use a paint specifically formulated for wood.

How long does it take for the paint to dry?

The paint dries in approximately 2 hours, but it's best to allow it to dry completely before applying a second coat.

Is this paint washable?

Yes, the wipeable finish allows you to clean the walls with a damp cloth.

What kind of finish does this paint have?

It has a matt finish.

Do I need to prime the walls before painting?

No, this paint is designed to self-undercoat, so priming is usually not necessary, unless the surface is particularly porous or damaged.

What should I do if the paint spills?

Wipe up any spills immediately with a damp cloth while the paint is still wet. Dried paint can be more difficult to remove.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not covering the surface evenly.

Ensure the surface is properly prepared. Apply a second coat if necessary.

Paint is taking longer than expected to dry.

Ensure adequate ventilation. Check the room temperature and humidity.
