Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can this paint be used in bathrooms or kitchens?

While it is durable, this is a standard matt emulsion and is not specifically formulated for high-humidity areas; specialized kitchen and bathroom paint is recommended for those zones.

How many coats should I apply?

For the best finish and color depth, two coats are recommended over properly prepared surfaces.

How long does it take to dry?

The paint is quick-drying, typically touch-dry within 1-2 hours, though drying times can vary based on room temperature and humidity.

Is this paint suitable for woodwork?

No, this product is designed specifically for walls and ceilings. Use appropriate gloss, satin, or eggshell finishes for wood and metal.

Can I use this over old wallpaper?

Only if the wallpaper is in excellent condition, well-adhered, and stable. If the paper is lifting or peeling, it must be removed before painting.

How do I store leftover paint?

Ensure the lid is securely closed and store in a frost-free environment away from direct sunlight.

Troubleshooting

Visible roller marks or streaks

Ensure you are using the correct roller sleeve and maintain a 'wet edge' by not over-working the paint as it begins to dry.

Paint not covering the surface in one coat

Apply two full coats, allowing the first to dry completely; avoid over-thinning the paint during application.

Paint flaking off

Ensure the underlying surface is properly prepared; remove any loose or peeling paint and prime the area before repainting.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Elegant matte finish hides wall imperfections
  • Easy to apply for both professionals and beginners
  • Quick-drying properties for faster project completion
  • Ideal for creating a modern, contemporary home aesthetic
  • Consistent and reliable coverage across large surface areas

Cons

  • Matte finish is prone to marking if scrubbed harshly
  • Not suitable for high-moisture areas like shower enclosures
  • Requires proper surface preparation for best results

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose paint, dust, or grease. If the wall is porous or previously unpainted, applying a mist coat or primer is recommended to ensure the emulsion adheres correctly. Stir the paint thoroughly before use to ensure the Frosted Silver pigment is evenly distributed. For maintenance, avoid abrasive sponges or harsh chemicals that can burnish the matte finish. If cleaning becomes necessary, use a soft, damp cloth and wipe gently in a circular motion. Store the tin in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly sealed to prevent the paint from drying out between uses.
