FAQs

How much paint will I need?

Coverage varies depending on the surface and application method. One liter typically covers approximately 10-12 square meters.

Can I use this paint in a bathroom or kitchen?

While the paint is suitable for interior use, a more moisture-resistant paint might be preferable for bathrooms and kitchens. Consider the level of moisture and ventilation in these areas.

How long does it take for the paint to dry?

The paint typically dries to touch within 2-4 hours. Allow at least 4 hours between coats.

How do I clean my brushes and rollers?

Wash brushes and rollers immediately after use with warm, soapy water.

Is the paint washable?

Yes, the paint can be gently wiped clean with a damp cloth.

What is the best way to store leftover paint?

Store the paint in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Can I apply this paint directly over wallpaper?

It is generally not recommended to paint directly over wallpaper. The wallpaper may not provide a suitable surface for the paint, and it may peel off. It's best to remove the wallpaper first and prepare the wall surface.

What tools are recommended for application?

Use a good quality brush, roller, or paint sprayer. A brush is best for cutting in around edges and trim, while a roller is better for large, flat surfaces.

Troubleshooting

Uneven finish or streaks after application.

Ensure the paint is thoroughly mixed. Apply the paint evenly, avoiding excessive pressure. Use a high-quality brush or roller.

Poor coverage or color not as expected.

Apply a second coat of paint. Ensure the existing wall color is not too dark; a primer may be needed.

Paint appears to be peeling or flaking.

Ensure the surface is properly prepared and free from loose paint. Make sure the surface is clean and primed if necessary. Ensure the paint has fully dried between coats.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Surface Preparation: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from any loose paint, grease, or dirt. Fill any cracks or holes with appropriate filler and sand smooth.
  2. Priming (Optional): On new or previously unpainted surfaces, or for enhanced adhesion and coverage, apply a suitable primer.
  3. Mixing: Stir the paint thoroughly before use to ensure the pigments are evenly distributed.

Compatibility:

Laura Ashley Matt Emulsion Paint is compatible with most interior surfaces, including plaster, drywall, wood, and previously painted surfaces. Always test on a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure compatibility and desired color.

Care:

Clean spills immediately with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing to prevent damaging the matt finish. For regular cleaning, gently wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners.
