Product Information

Full details

The Craig & Rose 1829 Chalky Emulsion in Camisole Pink is designed for homeowners and interior decorators seeking a sophisticated, velvety matte finish with a soft, airy aesthetic. This high-quality paint excels at concealing wall imperfections while providing rich, durable color, making it an ideal choice for walls, ceilings, and upcycled furniture. While it offers superior wash and rub resistance compared to standard matte paints, users should note that new plaster surfaces require a specific primer-undercoat for optimal adhesion and finish.

FAQs

Can I use this paint in a bathroom?

This paint is designed for interior walls and ceilings. Due to its chalky matte finish, it is not recommended for high-humidity areas like bathrooms unless specifically sealed.

How many coats are required?

Two coats are recommended to achieve the full depth of color and the intended matte finish.

Is this paint suitable for exterior use?

No, this product is strictly formulated for interior use.

Can I use this on kitchen cabinets?

Yes, but you must seal the paint with a protective wax or varnish to ensure it can withstand the heavy wear and cleaning required in a kitchen.

How long should I wait before recoating?

You should wait at least 4 hours between coats to ensure proper drying and adhesion.

Troubleshooting

Paint is soaking into the wall too quickly

The wall is likely too porous; thin the paint with 5-10% clean water or apply a suitable primer-undercoat first.

Visible roller marks after drying

Ensure you are using a high-quality roller, maintain a 'wet edge' while painting, and do not over-work the paint once it begins to set.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated, soft matte aesthetic
  • Excellent coverage and depth of color
  • High rub and wash resistance for a chalky paint
  • Effective at concealing wall surface imperfections
  • Multi-surface versatility including furniture

Cons

  • Requires specific priming on new, bare plaster
  • Not intended for high-moisture areas without additional care
  • Longer drying times than some modern quick-dry emulsions

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting your project, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free of debris. For new, dry plaster, you must apply a coat of Craig & Rose Primer Undercoat or a compatible high-quality wall primer to prevent the surface from soaking up too much paint. When painting walls or ceilings, apply two coats using a high-quality brush or roller. If the paint feels too thick when working over porous surfaces, you may thin it slightly by adding 5-10% clean water. Allow 1-2 hours for the surface to be touch-dry, and wait at least 4 hours between coats to ensure a durable, streak-free finish.
