FAQs

What type of finish does this paint provide?

Crown Walls & Ceilings Matt Emulsion Paint provides a smooth, non-reflective matte finish, ideal for creating a contemporary look.

Can this paint be used in bathrooms or kitchens?

This paint is designed for general interior walls and ceilings. While it can be used, for high-moisture areas like bathrooms and kitchens, it's generally recommended to use paints specifically formulated for those environments (e.g., mould-resistant kitchen and bathroom paints) for long-term durability.

How do I clean my brushes and rollers after using this paint?

As this is a water-based paint, you can easily clean your brushes and rollers with warm, soapy water immediately after use. Rinse thoroughly until all paint is removed.

Is a primer needed before applying this paint?

A primer is highly recommended for bare, porous, or newly plastered surfaces to ensure optimal adhesion and an even finish. It's also advisable when significantly changing the color of the wall or painting over stains.

How long does it take for the paint to dry?

This paint is quick-drying. While typically touch-dry within 1-2 hours, always refer to the specific recoat time stated on the paint can, which is usually around 4 hours, before applying a second coat. Full cure can take longer.

Is this paint washable?

Matte finishes are generally less washable than silk or satin finishes. Gentle wiping with a slightly damp, clean cloth may remove light marks, but vigorous scrubbing is not recommended as it can burnish or damage the finish.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering properly or is peeling.

Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned, dry, and properly prepared (e.g., sanded, primed if necessary) before painting. Remove any loose paint before reapplication.

Uneven finish, streaks, or brush/roller marks are visible.

Ensure paint is stirred well. Apply paint evenly, avoiding excessive pressure. Maintain a wet edge when rolling to prevent lap marks. Do not overwork the paint once it starts to dry.

Coverage seems poor, or the color is not as expected.

Stir the paint thoroughly before and periodically during use to ensure pigments are evenly distributed. Ensure you are applying adequate, even coats. Allow proper drying time between coats.

Paint is dripping or sagging after application.

This often indicates too much paint was applied. Apply thinner, more even coats, and avoid overloading your brush or roller.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Achieves a modern and consistent matte aesthetic.
  • Simplifies cleanup thanks to its water-based composition.
  • Reduces project time due to quick-drying properties.
  • Offers strong coverage, which can save on paint quantity.
  • Applicable on multiple common interior surfaces.

Cons

  • Matte finishes can be less resistant to scuffs and marks compared to more durable finishes like silk or eggshell.
  • Requires proper surface preparation for best adhesion and finish, like any paint.
  • Not designed for high-moisture areas like bathrooms or kitchens without specific preparation or topcoats.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Surface Preparation: Ensure the surface (plaster, brick, wallpaper) is clean, dry, and free of loose material. Sugar soap is effective for cleaning. Any cracks or holes should be filled and sanded smooth.
  2. Priming (Optional but Recommended): For new plaster, bare surfaces, or when painting over a dark color with a lighter one, apply a suitable primer or a diluted mist coat (e.g., 1 part paint to 10 parts water for new plaster) to ensure optimal adhesion and finish.
  3. Masking: Use painter's tape to protect skirting boards, architraves, and other areas not being painted.
  4. Ventilation: Ensure good ventilation in the room by opening windows to aid drying and reduce odor.

Compatibility

  • Surfaces: Primarily designed for interior walls and ceilings made of plaster, brick, and wallpaper.
  • Other Paints: Can be applied over existing emulsion paint, provided the surface is sound and clean. Not recommended for use over gloss or oil-based paints without proper sanding and priming.

Care

  • Cleaning Painted Surfaces: As a matte emulsion, it is generally less washable than more durable finishes. For light marks, gently wipe with a barely damp, clean cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive cleaners, as this can burnish or remove the paint.
  • Brush & Roller Cleaning: Being water-based, brushes and rollers can be cleaned easily with warm soapy water immediately after use. Rinse thoroughly and allow to dry.
  • Storage: Store any remaining paint in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and frost. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed to prevent the paint from drying out.
