FAQs

Can I use this paint in a bathroom?

This emulsion is designed for interior walls and ceilings in general living areas; it is not formulated for high-humidity areas like bathrooms.

How many coats are typically required?

Due to its excellent coverage, most users find that two coats are sufficient for a perfect finish.

Is the finish washable?

The matte finish is designed for a sophisticated look; while durable, it is best to clean it gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth rather than heavy scrubbing.

Can I apply this over wallpaper?

Yes, provided the wallpaper is sound, firmly adhered to the wall, and not water-soluble.

How long should I wait between coats?

The paint is quick-drying, but it is best to follow the drying time instructions on the tin, usually around 2-4 hours, before applying a second coat.

Troubleshooting

Visible roller marks

Ensure you are using the correct pile length roller for your surface and maintain a 'wet edge' by not overloading the roller.

Paint is peeling or flaking

This is likely due to an unstable surface; scrape away loose paint, sand the edges smooth, and apply a suitable primer before repainting.

Inconsistent colour

Ensure the paint is thoroughly stirred from the bottom of the tin before use to redistribute the pigments.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated matte finish hides wall bumps
  • Quick drying formula saves time
  • Excellent opacity reduces coat count
  • Easy to apply for DIY projects
  • Expertly coordinated colour palette

Cons

  • Limited to interior use only
  • Requires proper surface priming for best results
  • Matte finishes can be harder to scrub than glossier alternatives

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting, ensure all surfaces are free from dust, grease, and loose paint; a light sanding followed by a damp cloth wipe-down is recommended. For previously painted surfaces, ensure the base is stable. If painting onto bare plaster, use a mist coat (a diluted layer of emulsion) first to prevent the wall from soaking up too much paint. Clean all brushes and rollers with warm, soapy water immediately after use to maintain tool longevity. Store the tin in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly sealed to prevent the product from drying out.
