Crown Crafted Flat Matt Paint 2.5L - Sow Good - Green

This paint is ideal for interior walls, ceilings, and prepared wooden surfaces. It is not recommended for floors or exterior use.

Typically, two coats are recommended for optimal coverage, colour depth, and a uniform finish. However, this may vary depending on the original surface colour and condition.

Info needed: Drying time to touch is usually a few hours, with recoat time typically 2-4 hours. Always refer to the specific label on the tin for exact drying and recoat times, as conditions can vary.

Flat matt finishes are generally less robust and washable compared to satin or silk paints. For light marks, gently wipe the painted surface with a soft, damp cloth, but avoid harsh scrubbing which can damage the finish.

While it can be used, flat matt paints are generally not ideal for high-moisture or high-traffic areas like bathrooms and kitchens. For these areas, a more durable, moisture-resistant finish (such as a silk or soft sheen) is usually preferred.

The 'low-allergen formulation' means the paint has been developed to contain minimal volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other common allergens, contributing to improved indoor air quality and a healthier living environment.

Ensure the surface is properly prepared, clean, and primed. Apply paint evenly and avoid overworking the area. Use high-quality rollers and brushes, and apply sufficient paint to maintain a wet edge for smooth coverage.

Stir the paint thoroughly before and during use to ensure pigments are well mixed. Ensure the first coat is fully dry before applying the second. An additional third coat may be necessary when painting over a significantly darker or contrasting colour.

This issue typically indicates insufficient surface preparation. Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, sound, and free from loose or flaking material before painting. Always prime new or unsealed surfaces appropriately.

Colour can vary slightly depending on lighting conditions, surrounding colours, and surface texture. Always test a small, inconspicuous area first. Ensure full drying time has passed, as wet paint can appear different.
