FAQs

What type of finish does this paint have?

The Craig & Rose 1829 Chalky Emulsion paint provides a durable, true matt finish with a soft, velvety texture.

Can this paint be used on exterior surfaces?

This paint is specifically designed for interior use on walls and ceilings. It is not suitable for exterior applications.

How many coats of paint are recommended?

It is recommended to apply two coats for optimal colour depth and coverage.

Is this paint washable?

The paint has enhanced wash and rub resistance compared to normal flat wall paints, allowing for gentle cleaning with a damp cloth.

Can I use this paint on wood furniture?

Yes, you can use it on furniture. However, for durability, it should be finished with a protective wax or varnish after application.

What are the drying times for this paint?

The paint is surface dry in 1-2 hours and ready for an overcoat after 4 hours.

Do I need to prime surfaces before painting?

Yes, new dry plaster surfaces should be primed with a Craig & Rose Primer Undercoat or a suitable wall primer. Other surfaces should also be prepared appropriately.

How do I clean up my brushes and rollers after use?

Clean your brushes and rollers with water immediately after use.

Troubleshooting

Paint not adhering well to new plaster

Ensure the plaster was properly primed with a suitable primer before applying the paint. Thinning the first coat slightly with water may also help.

Uneven colour or finish

Ensure paint is thoroughly stirred before and during application. Apply in consistent, even coats, avoiding overworking the paint. Ensure adequate lighting to see coverage.

Rub marks appearing on painted furniture

Furniture painted with this emulsion requires a protective topcoat, such as a clear wax or varnish, to withstand regular use and prevent rub marks.

Brush strokes are visible

Use a high-quality brush and apply in smooth, even strokes. For larger areas, consider using a roller. Avoid applying too much paint at once.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Preparation:

Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust and grease. For new dry plaster, priming with a coat of Craig & Rose Primer Undercoat or a suitable wall primer is essential. For other surfaces, ensure they are properly prepared and sound.

Application:

Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply two coats using a brush or roller for best results. If applying directly to plaster or highly absorbent surfaces, you can thin the first coat slightly with 5-10% clean water to improve adhesion and prevent excessive suction.

Drying Times:

Surface dry: 1-2 hours.

Overcoat: 4 hours.

Compatibility:

Suitable for interior walls and ceilings. Can be used on furniture when a protective wax or varnish is applied over the top.

Care:

This paint has enhanced wash and rub resistance compared to standard flat wall paints. Clean gently with a damp cloth or sponge. Avoid harsh abrasive cleaners.
