The tester pot is designed for small areas. Coverage will vary, but expect to cover a very small area, suitable for a sample or small accent.
Can I use this paint in a bathroom or kitchen?
This paint is suitable for interior use, but for areas with high moisture, it's best to use a paint specifically designed for those environments.
How long does it take for the paint to dry?

How do I clean paint spills?
Clean up spills immediately with warm, soapy water while the paint is still wet.
Can I apply this paint over wallpaper?

What should I do if the paint is too thick?
The paint in the tester pot should be ready to use. Do not add any water to it, unless advised by the manufacturer.
Troubleshooting
Paint appears streaky after application.
Ensure even application. Apply thinner coats and avoid overloading the brush or roller. Make sure to allow sufficient drying time between coats.
Color appears different than expected.
Lighting conditions and the underlying surface color can affect the final appearance. Test the color in various lighting conditions and on a representative area of the surface.
Paint is not adhering properly.
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and properly prepared. Prime the surface if necessary, especially if painting over a glossy surface.
