FAQs
What surfaces can I use Crown Walls & Ceilings Matt Emulsion Paint on?
This paint is suitable for interior walls and ceilings, including plaster, brick, and wallpaper. Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and properly prepared before application.
How much paint will I need?
Coverage depends on surface porosity and previous color. Generally, 2.5 litres will cover approximately 25-30 square meters with one coat. We recommend measuring your space and factoring in two coats for best results. Always refer to the coverage information on the specific product label.
How long does the paint take to dry?
Crown Walls & Ceilings Matt Emulsion Paint is quick-drying. Typically, it is touch dry in 2-4 hours and ready for a second coat in 4-6 hours. Drying times can vary depending on temperature and humidity.
How do I clean my painting tools?
Being water-based, brushes and rollers can be cleaned easily with warm, soapy water immediately after use. Rinse thoroughly and allow to dry before storing.
Can I paint over existing painted walls?
Yes, you can paint over existing painted walls. Ensure the surface is clean, dry, sound, and free from any flaking or loose paint. Lightly sand glossy finishes to provide a key for adhesion before painting.
Is this paint washable?
Matt emulsion paints generally have limited washability compared to silk or sheen finishes. For best results, gently wipe any marks with a very lightly damp, soft cloth. Avoid scrubbing or abrasive cleaners as this can damage the matt finish.
Troubleshooting
Uneven finish or brush/roller marks
Ensure proper surface preparation. Apply paint evenly and avoid overloading brushes or rollers. Maintain a 'wet edge' when rolling to prevent lap marks. For best results, use good quality application tools.
Poor coverage, requiring too many coats
Thoroughly stir the paint before and during use. Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and primed, especially if painting over a dark color or porous surface. Apply sufficient paint without overspreading.
Paint not drying properly or taking too long
Ensure adequate ventilation in the room. Avoid applying paint in very humid or cold conditions, as this can significantly slow drying time. Do not apply coats too thickly.
Paint peeling or flaking after drying
This often indicates poor surface preparation. Ensure the surface was clean, dry, and free of loose material before painting. Scrape off loose paint, sand, clean, and re-prime affected areas before repainting.
Color appears different than expected
Paint color can vary slightly based on lighting conditions, surface texture, and the number of coats. Always do a small test patch in an inconspicuous area to confirm the color before painting the entire room.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Proper setup and care will ensure the best results and longevity for your painted surfaces.
Setup & Surface Preparation
- Clear the Area: Remove furniture, cover floors and fixtures with dust sheets, and protect skirting boards and door frames with painter's tape.
- Clean Surfaces: Wash walls and ceilings with a mild detergent solution to remove dirt and grease. Rinse thoroughly and allow to dry completely.
- Repair Imperfections: Fill any holes or cracks with appropriate filler, then sand smooth. Prime any bare or patched areas to ensure even absorption and a uniform finish.
- Sanding: Lightly sand previously painted glossy surfaces to create a key for adhesion. Dust off thoroughly before painting.
Compatibility
This emulsion paint is suitable for use on a variety of interior surfaces, including:
- Plaster (new and old)
- Brick
- Wallpaper
- Previously painted walls and ceilings (ensure surfaces are sound and prepared)
> Info needed: Specific primers required for challenging surfaces (e.g., damp, stained).
Care & Maintenance
- Cleaning Tools: Clean brushes and rollers immediately after use with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and allow to dry.
- Spills: Wipe up paint spills immediately with a damp cloth.
- Surface Care: Due to its matt finish, painted surfaces are best cleaned by gently wiping with a very lightly damp, soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or vigorous scrubbing, as this can 'burnish' or mark the matt finish.
- Storage: Store unused paint in its original container, tightly sealed, in a cool, dry place away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight. Protect from frost. Properly stored, paint can last for a significant period.
