Crown Matt Emulsion Paint is designed to provide a high-quality finish on interior walls and ceilings. Its smooth, velvety texture is excellent for creating a contemporary, sophisticated look that helps to mask minor surface imperfections.
To get the best performance from your Crown Matt Emulsion Paint, follow these guidelines:
Stir Thoroughly: Always stir the paint well before and occasionally during use to ensure consistent color and viscosity.
Surface Preparation: A clean, dry, and smooth surface is crucial. Fill any cracks or holes, sand rough areas, and ensure old paint is stable. For highly absorbent surfaces or significant color changes, applying a suitable primer or mist coat of diluted paint (e.g., 1 part paint to 10 parts water) is recommended.
Application: Apply evenly using a good quality brush for cutting in (edges, corners) and a medium pile roller for larger areas. Maintain a wet edge to avoid lap marks.
Coverage: This 5L can offers excellent coverage. Info needed: Typical coverage per litre (e.g., 10-12 square meters per litre) for precise estimation. You typically need 1-2 coats depending on the original surface color and desired depth of finish.
This paint is highly versatile and perfect for transforming various interior spaces:
Living Rooms: Creates a warm, inviting atmosphere with a soft, non-reflective finish.
Bedrooms: Ideal for creating a calm and restful sanctuary.
Dining Areas: Provides a sophisticated backdrop for meals and gatherings.
Hallways & Landings: Offers a durable and attractive finish for high-traffic areas, although care should be taken with cleaning a matt finish.
Ensure adequate ventilation during and after painting to aid drying and reduce odor.
Clear the Area: Remove furniture, cover floors with dust sheets, and mask off skirting boards, door frames, and windows.
Clean Surfaces: Wash walls and ceilings with a suitable cleaner to remove dirt, grease, and dust. Rinse thoroughly and allow to dry completely.
Fill & Sand: Fill any holes or cracks with appropriate filler and sand smooth once dry. Remove sanding dust.
Prime (if needed): For new plaster, porous surfaces, or very dark colors, apply a suitable primer or a diluted first coat of the emulsion to ensure even absorption and better adhesion.
Stir Paint: Open the can and stir the paint thoroughly with a stirring stick until it is uniform in consistency.
First Coat: Use a brush to cut in around edges, corners, and fixtures. Then, use a roller to apply the paint to larger wall and ceiling areas, working in small sections and maintaining a wet edge.
Drying Time: Info needed: Allow the first coat to dry for the recommended time (e.g., 2-4 hours touch dry, 4 hours for recoat) before applying the second coat.
Second Coat: If necessary, apply a second coat following the same procedure for enhanced color depth and durability.
This water-based emulsion is compatible with:
Good quality synthetic paint brushes.
Medium pile (e.g., 9-12mm) rollers for smooth to semi-smooth surfaces.
Cleaning: For light marks on matt surfaces, gently wipe with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing as this can burnish the finish.
Storage: Store the remaining paint in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and frost. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed to prevent the paint from drying out.
Disposal: Dispose of unused paint and empty cans responsibly according to local regulations. Do not pour paint down drains.
