FAQs
Can I use this tester pot to paint a piece of furniture?
While it can be used for very small crafts, the 100ml volume is primarily designed for color swatches and will not cover larger furniture items.
Does the tester pot reflect the final finish of the paint?
The tester pot shows the color accurately, but the sheen or finish may vary slightly compared to the professional-grade Estate or Modern Emulsion finishes.
How should I store the leftover paint?
Close the lid tightly and store in a cool, dry place away from frost and direct sunlight.
Is this paint safe for indoor use?
Yes, this product is low VOC, making it suitable for indoor testing environments.
How many swatches can I paint with one pot?
Depending on the size of your swatch, you can typically paint 2 to 4 test areas of approximately 30cm x 30cm.
Troubleshooting
Color looks different than the catalog
Light significantly impacts paint perception. View the swatch at different times of the day to see the true range of the color.
Paint appears patchy on the wall
Ensure the wall surface is properly prepped and primed. Applying a second thin coat can improve opacity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare for testing, ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of dust. If testing on a wall that currently has a vibrant or contrasting color, apply a coat of primer to ensure the true shade of Wine Dark shows through. Use a standard high-quality brush for application. Once testing is complete, securely reseal the tester pot if paint remains, or dispose of the empty container according to your local environmental guidelines. Store the pot in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain pigment integrity.
