This paint is water-based, which not only makes for easy cleanup of brushes with water but also results in a low odour environment during application, making it more pleasant to use indoors. The wipeable finish ensures that minor marks or scuffs can be easily cleaned, maintaining the paint's fresh appearance over time. It's an excellent choice for updating interior doors, skirting boards, architraves, and metal radiators, providing a durable and attractive eggshell look.
Prepare the Surface: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and smooth. Remove any loose paint, dirt, or grease. Sand lightly if necessary to create a key for the paint.
Stir Thoroughly: Before and during use, stir the paint well to ensure an even consistency and colour.
Application: Apply with a good quality brush or roller. For best results, apply in thin, even coats. Due to its quick-drying nature, work efficiently.
Coats: Allow sufficient drying time between coats. Typically, two coats are recommended for optimal coverage and durability.
This paint is specifically formulated for interior wood and metal surfaces.
It is water-based and compatible with standard painting tools suitable for water-based paints.
Cleaning Painted Surfaces: The finish is wipeable. For light marks, gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild detergent if needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Tool Cleanup: Clean brushes and rollers immediately after use with warm soapy water.
Storage: Store the paint in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, ensuring the lid is tightly sealed.
