FAQs

Can I use this paint on radiators?

This paint is suitable for most surfaces, including metal, but it is not suitable for oil-filled radiators.

How many coats of paint do I need?

The number of coats required depends on the surface and the existing colour. The paint offers excellent coverage, but for significant colour changes or porous surfaces, two coats are typically recommended. Always allow adequate drying time between coats.

How do I clean my painted walls?

Once fully cured, the paint is washable. Use a soft, damp cloth with a mild detergent if needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbing, which can damage the matt finish.

What is the drying time for this paint?

The paint is quick-drying. It is usually touch-dry within 1-2 hours and recoatable after approximately 2-4 hours, depending on temperature and humidity. Allow 7 days for full curing.

Can I return this paint if I don't like the colour?

No, this product is mixed to order, meaning it is non-returnable and non-refundable. Please choose your colour carefully.

What kind of finish does this paint have?

This paint has a matt finish, which provides a non-reflective, sophisticated look and helps to hide surface imperfections.

Is this paint suitable for exterior use?

This product is designed for interior use on walls, ceilings, wood, and metal. It is not formulated for exterior applications.

Troubleshooting

Paint appears patchy or uneven

Ensure the paint was stirred thoroughly before application. Check if the surface was properly prepared and if adequate coats have been applied. Allow sufficient drying time between coats.

Brush marks or roller stipple are visible

Use a high-quality brush or roller suitable for water-based paints. Apply paint evenly and avoid overloading the brush or roller. Feather the edges where strokes meet.

Paint is not adhering well

Verify that the surface was clean, dry, and free from contaminants. For wood or metal, ensure a suitable primer was used. Sanding glossy surfaces can improve adhesion.

Colour looks different when dry

Colours can appear slightly different when dry compared to when wet. Test the paint on an inconspicuous area first to confirm the shade. Ensure consistent application thickness for uniform colour.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and flaking paint. For previously painted surfaces, lightly sand and wipe clean. For bare wood or metal, apply an appropriate primer first.

Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply using a brush, roller, or spray gun according to manufacturer instructions. Apply in a well-ventilated area. Avoid painting in temperatures below 10°C or above 30°C.

Compatibility: Suitable for interior walls, ceilings, wood, and metal. Not suitable for oil-filled radiators.

Care: Allow the paint to cure fully (typically 7 days) before intensive cleaning. Clean application tools and spills immediately with water. For general cleaning of the painted surface, use a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
