FAQs

How much paint do I need?

One litre of Lick Greige 03 Matt Emulsion Paint covers approximately 10m² - 13m². Calculate the surface area of your walls to determine the required quantity.

How many coats should I apply?

Lick recommends applying two coats for maximum long-term durability and the best colour depth.

Can I use this paint in a bathroom or kitchen?

While the paint is scrubbable and stain resistant, consider using a paint specifically designed for high-moisture environments in bathrooms and kitchens.

How long does it take for the paint to dry?

Allow approximately 2-4 hours of drying time between coats. Full cure can take up to 7 days.

How do I clean the painted surface?

Gently wipe the painted surface with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

What kind of primer should I use?

Use a primer suitable for the surface you are painting (e.g., wood, plaster). Consult your local paint supplier for recommendations.

What is the shelf life of the paint?

Unopened paint can typically last for several years if stored correctly (in a cool, dry place). Once opened, use the paint within a reasonable timeframe.

Troubleshooting

Uneven finish or streaks after painting.

Ensure you're applying paint evenly, avoiding excessive pressure. Use a high-quality brush or roller. Apply a second coat.

Paint not covering the surface adequately.

Ensure the surface has been properly primed. Apply a second coat and allow proper drying time.

Paint appears darker/lighter than expected.

Colour appearance can vary depending on lighting. Test the paint in the room before painting the entire area. Ensure that the correct colour has been mixed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Surface Preparation: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from loose paint, dirt, and grease. Fill any holes or cracks with a suitable filler and sand smooth.

  3. Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply the first coat evenly using a brush or roller. Allow it to dry completely before applying the second coat.
  4. Drying Time: Allow approximately 2-4 hours of drying time between coats, or as specified on the paint container. Full cure can take up to 7 days.
