Yes, it can be used in bathrooms and kitchens, but ensure good ventilation during application and drying. The silk finish is wipeable, making it practical for these areas.
How long does it take for the paint to dry?
Typical drying time is 2-4 hours between coats, but always refer to the instructions on the paint can for precise drying times.
How do I clean my brushes after use?

What surfaces is this paint suitable for?

Does the Magnolia color look the same in all lights?
Color perception can vary depending on the lighting conditions (natural, artificial, warm, cool) and the surrounding colors in the room. It's recommended to test a small area first.
What is the coverage rate?
The product offers excellent coverage, but the exact rate depends on the surface porosity and application method. Typically, expect around 10-12 square meters per liter.
Troubleshooting
Paint is too thick or difficult to apply
Stir the paint thoroughly. If necessary, thin slightly with a small amount of water (maximum 10%, check product instructions).
Uneven color or finish after drying
Ensure paint was applied evenly and that previous coats were fully dry. Avoid overworking the paint during application. Check for surface imperfections that may affect finish.
Poor adhesion or peeling
Surface may not have been properly prepared. Ensure the surface was clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Check if a suitable primer was used on porous or previously painted surfaces.
Brush marks are visible
Use a good quality brush and apply with smooth, consistent strokes. Avoid overloading the brush. Work with the paint's flow and allow it to level.
