Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Prepare the Surface: Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, dirt, grease, and loose or flaking material. Fill any cracks or holes with appropriate filler and sand smooth. For previously painted glossy surfaces, lightly sand to provide a key.
- Prime (if necessary): Apply a suitable primer, especially on new, porous, or previously unpainted surfaces, or when painting over significantly darker colours with a lighter shade.
- Stir Well: Thoroughly stir the paint with a clean stick before and during use to ensure colour consistency.
- Application: Apply with a good quality brush or roller. Work in even sections, maintaining a wet edge to avoid lap marks. Apply two coats for best results, allowing the recommended drying time between coats.
Compatibility
This paint is specifically formulated for interior walls, ceilings, and prepared wooden surfaces. It is not recommended for:
- Floors or areas subject to heavy foot traffic.
- Exterior use.
- High-momoisture areas such as bathrooms or kitchens without an appropriate primer/topcoat system.
Care
- Cleaning Tools: Clean brushes and rollers immediately after use with warm, soapy water.
- Surface Cleaning: Flat matt finishes are generally less robust than higher sheen paints when it comes to cleaning. For light marks, gently wipe the painted surface with a soft, damp cloth, avoiding harsh scrubbing or abrasive cleaners which can damage the matt finish.
