FAQs
What type of finish does this paint have?
This paint provides a durable, classic matt finish with a soft, velvety texture.
Can I use this paint in a bathroom?
Yes, it is suitable for interior walls and ceilings, including bathrooms, as long as the area is not a high-moisture zone like a shower cubicle without additional sealing.
How should I prepare the surface before painting?
The surface should be clean, dry, and free from dust and grease. Using the 1829 White Undercoat is recommended for best results.
Is this paint suitable for furniture?
Yes, it can be used on interior furniture. For a more durable finish on high-use items, a protective wax or varnish can be applied after painting.
How do I clean painted surfaces?
Gently wipe away marks with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners.
What does 'Eau de Nil' mean?
Eau de Nil is French for 'Water of the Nile', and describes a light, fresh, and airy green colour.
Troubleshooting
Paint is too thick or difficult to apply
Stir the paint thoroughly before use. If still too thick, a very small amount of clean water (max 10% per litre) can be added, but avoid over-thinning.
Uneven colour or patchiness
Ensure surfaces were properly prepared and primed with the recommended undercoat. Apply paint using consistent brushstrokes or roller technique, maintaining a wet edge to avoid lap marks. Apply a second coat if necessary.
Markings or scuffs appearing easily
For furniture, consider applying a protective layer of clear wax or varnish after the paint has fully cured. For walls, use a damp cloth for cleaning rather than scrubbing.
