FAQs

What surfaces is Armstead Trade Vinyl Matt suitable for?

It is suitable for all normal interior wall and ceiling surfaces, including plaster, plasterboard, and previously painted surfaces in good condition.

Can I use this paint outdoors?

No, Armstead Trade Vinyl Matt is specifically designed for interior use only and is not suitable for outdoor applications.

How much area does 5 litres of paint cover?

The paint offers a coverage of up to 14 square metres per litre on smooth surfaces of average porosity.

How long does it take for the paint to dry?

The paint is touch dry in 1-2 hours and can be recoated after 2-4 hours, depending on temperature and humidity.

How do I clean my tools after using this paint?

Clean brushes, rollers, and other equipment with water immediately after use. Remove as much paint as possible before washing.

Is this paint suitable for kitchens and bathrooms?

While suitable for general interior use, for areas with high humidity or frequent cleaning, a more specialised paint like a vinyl silk or kitchen & bathroom paint might be more appropriate. However, it can be used in kitchens if ventilation is good and it is not subjected to excessive moisture or steam.

What does 'Pastel Base' mean?

'Pastel Base' indicates that this product is a base coat designed to be tinted with colourants to achieve a specific pastel shade. If you require a ready-mixed colour, you would select a different variant.

Troubleshooting

Paint not adhering well

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. For very absorbent surfaces, apply a thinned sealing coat first.

Uneven finish or brush marks visible

Ensure paint is stirred thoroughly. Apply with even, consistent strokes using a good quality brush or roller. Avoid overworking the paint.

Coverage appears poor

Ensure the surface is properly prepared and has not absorbed excessive amounts of paint. Apply a second coat if necessary, following the recoating time guidelines.

Drying time seems excessive

Drying times are dependent on temperature and humidity. Ensure the room is well-ventilated and maintain a moderate temperature (above 10°C) for optimal drying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Surface Preparation

Ensure all surfaces are sound, clean, and dry before application. New or bare surfaces may require a thinned sealing coat. For very absorbent surfaces, a thinned coat of Armstead Trade Vinyl Matt (1 part water to 5 parts paint) is recommended before applying the main coats. Always consult the Armstead Trade Datasheet AM202 for detailed preparation guidance, especially if dealing with old lead paints.

Compatibility

This emulsion is best suited for normal interior wall and ceiling surfaces. It is compatible with most standard interior primers and fillers. It is not designed for exterior use.

Application

Stir thoroughly before use. Thinning is generally not required for normal use. For conventional spray application, thin with up to 1 part water to 5 parts paint. For airless spray, thinning is not required. Apply 1-2 full coats for best results.

Tool Cleaning

Clean all brushes, rollers, and spray equipment with water immediately after use. Remove as much excess paint as possible before washing.

Storage

Store the paint in its original container in a dry place, avoiding extreme temperatures. Ensure the container is tightly sealed when not in use.
