FAQs

How much area does a 2.5l tin cover?

A 2.5l tin covers up to 35m² with a single coat. For the recommended two coats, expect to cover approximately 17.5m².

Do I need to prime before using this paint?

No, this paint is self-priming and does not require a separate primer.

How long does it take to become fully scrubbable?

The paint achieves its full scrubbability rating (ISO11998 Class 1 Wet Scrub) approximately 14 days after application, once fully cured.

Can this paint be used on radiators?

Yes, it is suitable for powder-coated radiators and other metal surfaces.

Is this paint suitable for bathrooms?

It is suitable for bathroom walls and ceilings, but not for direct contact with water in shower enclosures due to its matte finish.

What is the finish of this paint?

The paint has an ultra-matte finish, offering a sophisticated, non-reflective look.

Can I use this paint on floors?

Yes, it is suitable for wooden floors. For very high-traffic areas, consider a protective topcoat if extreme durability is needed.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not covering well

Ensure the surface is properly prepared and that you are applying a second coat as recommended for full depth and durability.

Uneven finish or brush marks visible

Apply paint evenly using smooth, consistent strokes. Avoid overworking the paint. Ensure adequate lighting to see application as you go.

Paint is difficult to clean

Ensure the paint has been fully cured for at least 14 days. For tougher stains, use a mild soap with a damp cloth and avoid harsh scrubbing.

Odour persists after painting

While low VOC, some residual odour may be present. Ensure good ventilation during and after application. Odour should dissipate within a few days as the paint cures.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from grease or dust. No primer is required, but for best results, stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply evenly with a brush or roller.

Compatibility: Suitable for interior walls and ceilings. Also compatible with wooden furniture, interior woodwork, wooden floors, kitchen cupboards, metal, powder-coated radiators, interior uPVC, and ceramic wall tiles. Do not use on exterior surfaces or in areas of constant high moisture like shower enclosures.
