FAQs
Can I use this paint in a kitchen or bathroom?
This emulsion is designed for general interior use. It is not recommended for high-humidity areas like bathrooms unless specifically sealed, as the matt finish may be prone to marking in wet environments.
How long does it take to dry?
It features a quick-drying formula, typically touch-dry within a few hours, though drying times can vary based on ambient room temperature and humidity.
Do I need a primer?
If painting over bare plaster or highly absorbent surfaces, a primer or a mist coat (watered down emulsion) is essential for best results.
Is this paint safe for indoor use?
Yes, it is formulated with low VOCs to ensure minimal odors and better air quality during the painting process.
Can I apply this with a spray gun?
Yes, the paint is formulated for smooth application, but always check your equipment specifications for the required paint viscosity.
How do I clean my brushes after use?
Since this is an emulsion-based paint, brushes and tools should be cleaned immediately using warm soapy water.
Troubleshooting
Paint shows brush marks or uneven texture
Ensure you are using a high-quality synthetic brush or a medium-pile roller and avoid overworking the paint once it begins to tack up.
Poor adhesion to the surface
Verify the surface was properly cleaned and degreased before application. If the surface is highly porous, apply a primer first.
Paint appears patchy after two coats
This is often due to uneven application or excessive thinning. Ensure the paint is stirred properly and applied at the recommended spread rate.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before starting, ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Fill any cracks or holes with an appropriate filler and sand smooth. For fresh or highly porous surfaces, a suitable primer or mist coat is recommended to ensure proper adhesion. When applying, stir the paint thoroughly to ensure the pigments are well-distributed. Maintain a consistent wet edge while rolling to prevent streaking. For care and maintenance, wipe walls gently with a damp, soft cloth if marks appear, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners that could damage the delicate matt finish.
