FAQs

Is this paint safe for children's rooms?

Yes, its water-based and plant-based formula is designed with environmental and indoor health considerations in mind.

Can I use this paint on exterior metal gates?

No, this product is specifically formulated for interior surfaces only.

How many coats do I need?

While it depends on the substrate, we generally recommend two coats over a properly primed surface for optimal depth and coverage.

Does this paint require a special primer?

We recommend a light grey primer and undercoat to ensure the best color payoff and adhesion for this specific shade.

How do I clean my brushes after use?

Because this is a water-based paint, you can clean your brushes easily using warm, soapy water.

Is the finish very shiny?

With a 40% sheen, it falls into the satin category—it has a noticeable, elegant luster but is not as reflective as a high-gloss paint.

Troubleshooting

Visible brush strokes in the finish

Ensure you are using a high-quality synthetic brush and apply thin, even layers. Avoid over-working the paint once it begins to set.

Paint is not adhering well to the surface

Ensure the surface was sanded, cleaned of all dust, and primed with a suitable light grey primer before the topcoat was applied.

  • Sophisticated, deep earth-toned grey aesthetic
  • Excellent scuff resistance for high-traffic areas

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before you begin, ensure your surface is clean, dry, and free of loose debris or oil. For the most durable and vibrant finish, we recommend applying a light grey primer and undercoat. This creates a uniform base that ensures the Birdcage Walk 117 adheres properly and achieves its intended depth of color. Application can be handled with a high-quality synthetic brush or a short-nap roller, depending on the surface texture. To care for your painted surfaces, wait for the paint to fully cure before wiping with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners, as these can dull the 40% satin sheen over time.
