FAQs
What finish does the Kelp Harbour paint have?
The Kelp Harbour paint has an eggshell finish, which provides a soft, subtle sheen.
How much area does 1L of this paint cover?
Coverage can vary based on the surface and application method, but typically 1 liter covers approximately 10-12 square meters (107-129 sq ft) with one coat.
Can I use this paint in a high-moisture area like a bathroom?
While the eggshell finish offers some durability, it is best suited for low to moderate humidity areas. For high-moisture areas, consider a paint specifically formulated for bathrooms and kitchens.
How should I clean painted surfaces?
Gently wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers.
Is this paint suitable for furniture?
This paint is primarily recommended for interior walls and trim. For furniture, a paint specifically designed for wood and high-traffic surfaces may be more suitable.
How long should I wait between coats?
Refer to the specific drying time instructions on the product label, but generally, allow at least 2-4 hours for the first coat to dry before applying a second.
What colors pair well with Kelp Harbour?
Kelp Harbour pairs well with natural wood tones, brass accents, creams, soft greys, and deeper jewel tones.
Troubleshooting
Paint is streaky or uneven
Ensure the paint is thoroughly stirred before and during application. Use a high-quality brush or roller and apply in consistent strokes. Apply a second coat if necessary after the first has dried completely.
Color appears different than expected
Color appearance can vary based on lighting conditions and the underlying surface. Always test a small area first. Ensure adequate light is available during application and drying.
Paint is not adhering well
Verify the surface was properly prepared (clean, dry, free of dust/grease) and that a suitable primer was used if necessary. Ensure the surface is not overly glossy or slick.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation: Ensure the surface to be painted is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or old flaking paint. Lightly sand glossy surfaces and wipe clean. For best results, apply a suitable primer before painting, especially if painting over a dark or heavily contrasting color.
Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before and during use. Apply using a good quality brush or roller. Two thin coats are generally recommended for optimal coverage and color depth. Allow adequate drying time between coats as per manufacturer instructions.
Compatibility: This paint is designed for interior use on prepared walls and trim. It is compatible with most standard interior primers. Avoid using on surfaces that are constantly wet or subject to heavy abrasion.
Care: To maintain the finish, clean the painted surface gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh scrubbing, as this can damage the eggshell finish.
