FAQs

Do I need a primer with this red paint?

Yes, for the best results and deepest color intensity, we highly recommend using a high-quality primer before applying your topcoats.

How many coats of paint are typically needed?

Depending on the color of the wall underneath, we generally recommend two coats to ensure the rich pigment is fully opaque and vibrant.

Can I use this paint in a kitchen or bathroom?

This paint is designed for general interior use. If applying in a high-humidity area, ensure there is adequate ventilation during and after application.

What is the best tool for application?

A medium-nap roller is ideal for walls, while a high-quality angled synthetic brush is perfect for cutting in corners and edges.

How long does the paint take to dry?

While it may be touch-dry within a few hours, we recommend waiting at least 4 to 6 hours between coats and allowing the finish to cure for several days.

Troubleshooting

Visible roller marks or streaks

Ensure you are using the correct nap roller for the surface and maintaining a 'wet edge' while painting.

Color appears uneven or blotchy

This is common with deep reds; apply an additional coat of paint and ensure you are not over-spreading the product.

Paint is peeling after drying

Check that the surface was properly cleaned and primed. Peeling often results from painting over dust or loose debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before application, ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. It is highly recommended to apply a high-quality primer—ideally tinted gray—to help the red pigment achieve its true depth in fewer coats.

Preparation: Fill any holes and sand rough spots; clean the wall with a damp cloth.
Priming: Apply a coat of primer to create a neutral base.
Painting: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply the first coat using a 'W' pattern with a roller, ensuring even coverage.
Drying: Allow adequate drying time between coats according to the product label.

To care for your finished walls, avoid scrubbing the surface for at least 30 days while the paint fully cures. For routine cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap, avoiding harsh chemicals or abrasive sponges.
