Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can this paint be used on ceilings?

Yes, it is formulated for both walls and ceilings.

Is this paint washable?

The silk finish is more durable than standard matt paints and can be gently cleaned with a damp cloth.

How many coats are typically required?

While coverage depends on the surface, two coats are generally recommended for a uniform, professional finish.

Is this paint low in odors?

Yes, its low VOC formula ensures a milder odor compared to traditional solvent-based paints.

Can I apply this over existing paint?

Yes, provided the existing paint is sound, clean, and has been lightly sanded to improve adhesion.

Troubleshooting

Visible roller marks

Ensure you are maintaining a 'wet edge' while painting and avoid over-working the paint once it begins to set.

Paint showing surface defects

Sand the surface smooth and apply a high-quality primer before repainting with the silk finish.

Poor adhesion

Clean the wall surface thoroughly to remove grease and dust before applying the first coat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Use a high-quality synthetic brush for cutting in corners and a medium-pile roller for main wall areas. For best results, use a compatible primer on new plaster or porous surfaces. To maintain the finish, wipe walls gently with a soft, damp cloth if cleaning is required; avoid harsh abrasive cleaners that may mar the silky sheen. Store the paint in a cool, dry place and ensure the lid is sealed tightly after use to prevent drying.
