Example Application 1: Revitalizing a Living Room Imagine a living room with tired, off-white walls. Applying Ash Grove Grey can instantly modernize the space, providing a calm yet impactful backdrop for furniture and decor. Its durable nature means it can handle accidental bumps from children or pets without easily showing wear, maintaining its elegant appearance.
Example Application 2: Updating Kitchen Cabinets Beyond just walls, this paint's versatility extends to furniture and cabinets. You could use Ash Grove Grey to repaint outdated kitchen cabinets, giving them a sleek, contemporary update. The durable finish will resist common kitchen wear and tear, while the low VOC formulation makes it a safer choice for an area where food is prepared. For a cohesive look, consider incorporating other shades from the MY Colour palette, perhaps using the 60-30-10 principle for a balanced design.
Prepare the Surface: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, dirt, grease, or loose material. Fill any cracks or holes and sand smooth. For bare or new surfaces, or if there's a significant colour change, a suitable primer or undercoat may be required.
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 two coats, allowing sufficient drying time between coats. Avoid overspreading.
Drying Time: Paint is typically touch-dry in 2-4 hours, and recoatable after 4 hours. Ensure good ventilation during application and drying.
Surfaces: Ideal for interior walls, ceilings, plaster, wood, and previously painted surfaces (ensure they are sound).
Environment: Low VOC content makes it suitable for use in homes, including bedrooms and kitchens.
Cleaning: For general cleaning, wipe painted surfaces gently with a damp, soft cloth and mild detergent if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbing, which can damage the matt finish.
Touch-ups: Keep a small amount of leftover paint for future touch-ups to seamlessly repair minor marks or scuffs.
Storage: Store paint in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and frost. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed to maintain freshness.
