The Crown Walls and Ceilings Matt Emulsion Paint is crafted for straightforward application, making it suitable for both seasoned DIYers and those new to painting. Its rich, creamy texture facilitates easy spreading across surfaces, whether you're using a brush for edges or a roller for larger areas, which helps in achieving an even finish and reduces potential dripping.
Application Experience: Users will find the paint goes on smoothly, providing a satisfying painting experience. The low-odour formula means you can work longer without discomfort, and the room becomes usable sooner after painting.
Coverage: A 2.5L tin of this paint is designed to offer good coverage, typically reducing the number of coats needed for a solid colour. For optimal results, especially when painting over a contrasting colour or very porous surfaces, two coats are usually recommended. For example, transforming a light grey wall to vibrant purple might require a primer and two topcoats to achieve the advertised hue and depth.
Finish Quality: The matt finish dries to a sophisticated, non-shiny surface that subtly conceals minor wall imperfections, such as small bumps or previous repairs. This makes it an excellent choice for living rooms, bedrooms, or dining areas where a soft, elegant backdrop is desired.
Drying and Recoating: [Info needed: Typical touch dry time is usually 2-4 hours. Allow 4 hours before applying a second coat. Full cure time can take several days.] Ensure adequate ventilation during and after painting to aid drying and reduce any residual odour.
Surface Preparation: Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, dirt, grease, and loose material. Fill any cracks or holes with appropriate filler and sand smooth. For previously painted surfaces, ensure they are sound; remove any flaking or peeling paint. New or very porous surfaces may benefit from a mist coat (paint thinned with water) or a suitable primer to ensure even absorption and adhesion.
Stirring: Stir the paint thoroughly before and periodically during use to ensure a consistent colour and texture.
Application: Apply with a good quality brush for cutting in edges and corners, and a roller for larger areas. Apply in thin, even coats. Avoid overloading your brush or roller to prevent drips.
Coats: For best results, apply two coats, allowing adequate drying time between each coat. Refer to the paint tin for specific recoat times.
Suitable Surfaces: This paint is formulated for interior walls and ceilings. It adheres well to plaster, plasterboard, previously painted surfaces (emulsion), and sound wallpaper.
Not Recommended For: Do not use on floors, exterior surfaces, or surfaces subject to high condensation without specific pre-treatment or a suitable primer.
Cleaning Tools: Clean brushes and rollers immediately after use with warm soapy water.
Spills: Wipe up any accidental paint spills immediately with a damp cloth before the paint dries.
Storage: Store the paint in a cool, dry place, protected from frost and direct sunlight. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed to prevent the paint from drying out.
Cleaning Painted Surfaces: Due to its matt finish, this paint can be prone to scuffs. For light marks, gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing, which can cause the matt finish to become shiny. For stubborn marks, consider a specialized matt paint cleaner, always testing on an inconspicuous area first.
