FAQs
Can this paint be used on wood or metal surfaces?
No, Crown Walls & Ceilings Matt Emulsion Paint is specifically formulated for interior walls and ceilings only. For wood or metal, you would need a different type of paint.
How many coats of paint are usually needed?
Two coats are typically recommended for optimal coverage and finish, especially when changing colours significantly. For very light colour changes over a similar base, one coat might suffice.
What does 'virtually odour-free Breatheasy formula' mean?
The `Breatheasy` formula is Crown's innovative technology designed to minimize paint fumes and unpleasant smells during and after painting, creating a more comfortable environment.
Is this paint washable?
Matt emulsion paints are generally not highly washable. For light marks, you can gently wipe with a damp, soft cloth. Avoid scrubbing, as this can damage the matt finish.
Do I need to prime the walls before using this paint?
Priming is highly recommended for new, bare, or highly porous surfaces, or when painting over very dark or stained walls. This ensures better adhesion, even absorption, and a more consistent final finish.
How should I store leftover paint?
Store leftover paint in its original container with the lid tightly sealed. Keep it in a cool, dry place, protected from direct sunlight and frost, to maintain its quality.
Can I use this paint in a bathroom or kitchen?
While it can be used, this standard matt emulsion may not offer the same level of durability or moisture resistance as paints specifically formulated for bathrooms and kitchens. For high-humidity areas, consider Crown's specialized kitchen and bathroom paints.
Troubleshooting
Paint not covering well or appearing patchy.
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and properly prepared. Very porous or dark surfaces may require a primer or an additional coat. Apply evenly and allow recommended drying time between coats.
Streaky or uneven finish.
Apply paint evenly and avoid overworking it. Use a good quality brush or roller, ensuring consistent pressure. Do not apply too thickly or too thinly.
Paint is peeling or flaking off.
This is typically due to inadequate surface preparation. Ensure the surface is thoroughly cleaned, sanded (if necessary), and free from loose paint, dirt, or grease before application. A suitable primer should be used on challenging surfaces.
Paint takes too long to dry.
Ensure good ventilation in the room. Avoid applying paint in very humid or cold conditions, as this can prolong drying times. Do not apply excessively thick coats.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup & Surface Preparation
- Prepare the Room: Clear furniture, lay dust sheets, and mask off areas not to be painted (skirting boards, door frames, etc.).
- Surface Preparation: Ensure walls and ceilings are clean, dry, and free from loose material, dirt, or grease. Fill any cracks or holes with appropriate filler and sand smooth. For new, bare, or highly porous surfaces, or when significantly changing colours, apply a suitable primer or a diluted first coat of this paint (often 10% water) to ensure even absorption and adhesion.
- Stir Paint: Before and during use, stir the paint thoroughly to ensure a consistent colour and consistency.
Application
- Apply with a good quality brush or roller. For best results, apply two coats, allowing adequate drying time between coats.
- Drying Time: Info needed: [touch dry time, recoat time]. Typically, touch dry in 1-2 hours and recoatable in 4 hours.
Compatibility
- This paint is specifically formulated for interior walls and ceilings. Do not use on floors, wood, metal, or exterior surfaces.
Care & Cleaning
- Cleaning Tools: Clean brushes and rollers immediately after use with warm water.
- Spills: Wipe up any spills or splatters promptly with a damp cloth before the paint dries.
- Cured Paint: Once fully cured, the matt finish can be gently wiped clean with a damp, soft cloth for minor marks. Avoid aggressive scrubbing, as this can burnish the matt finish and create shiny spots.
