How do I clean my painted surface?

How much area does a 500ml tin cover?

Is this paint safe for children's furniture?

Troubleshooting
Paint not adhering well
Ensure the surface was properly cleaned and degreased before application. Lightly sanding glossy surfaces can improve adhesion.
Uneven finish or brush marks visible
Apply thinner coats and use a high-quality brush or roller. Ensure paint is stirred thoroughly. Allow adequate drying time between coats.
Colour appears lighter than expected
A second coat is recommended for full colour depth and durability. Ensure adequate drying time has passed between coats.
Paint feels sticky after drying
Ensure the paint has fully cured. This can take longer in humid or cold conditions. Avoid heavy use until full cure is achieved.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from grease or wax. Lightly abrading glossy surfaces can improve adhesion, though it's often not strictly necessary due to the paint's self-priming nature.
Compatibility: This paint is recommended for interior wood, trims, skirting boards, and doors. It is also suitable for powder-coated radiators, metal, and various furniture types, including kitchen cupboards and built-in units made from wood or laminate. It is not intended for exterior use.
Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply with a good quality brush or roller. Two coats are generally recommended for the most durable and opaque finish. Allow adequate drying time between coats as per manufacturer guidelines.
Care: Clean application tools with water immediately after use. For maintaining the painted finish, wipe gently with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive scrubbing, which could damage the scuff-resistant coating.
