Crown Walls & Ceilings Matt Emulsion Paint 5L - Chalky White

Matt emulsion is a water-based paint with a non-reflective, flat finish. It’s ideal for hiding minor surface imperfections and creating a soft, contemporary look on walls and ceilings.

Typically, two coats are recommended for optimal coverage and depth of color, especially when painting over a darker or contrasting color. However, one coat may suffice on very light or similarly colored surfaces.

Surface dry time is generally 2-4 hours, but this can vary depending on temperature, humidity, and ventilation. Allow 4 hours before applying a second coat. Full cure time can take several days.

No, this paint is specifically formulated for interior walls and ceilings. For wood or metal surfaces, you would need a different type of paint designed for those materials, often requiring specific primers.

The 'Breatheasy' formula is designed to be virtually odour-free, minimizing the release of paint fumes (VOCs) during and after application, making for a more comfortable painting experience indoors.

Matt finishes are not highly washable. For light marks, gently wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth without rubbing vigorously. Avoid harsh cleaners or excessive scrubbing, as this can 'burnish' the paint, causing it to become shiny.

Ensure the surface is properly prepared (clean, smooth, primed if necessary). Apply paint evenly, avoiding overworking the area. Use a good quality brush or roller and maintain a 'wet edge' to prevent lap marks. Do not thin paint unless specified and ensure proper stirring.

Matt emulsion often requires two coats for optimal coverage, especially when painting over a darker or very different original color. Ensure adequate drying time between coats. Check if the surface was properly prepared and primed.

Ensure good ventilation in the room. High humidity or low temperatures can significantly extend drying times. Apply paint in recommended thickness; too thick a coat can hinder drying. Avoid painting in very cold or damp conditions.

This usually indicates poor surface preparation. Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of loose paint before application. Sand glossy surfaces to provide a key for the paint. Use an appropriate primer if the surface is porous or highly absorbent.

While Breatheasy formula is virtually odour-free during application, a faint residual smell might linger. Continue to ventilate the area for several days. Ensure paint is fully dry, as lingering moisture can trap odors.
