FAQs

Is this paint suitable for kitchens and bathrooms?

While durable, it is best suited for living rooms and hallways. For high-moisture areas, consider a dedicated moisture-resistant finish.

Does Pointing have a cool or warm undertone?

Pointing is a warm neutral white, derived from the look of traditional lime pointing, which adds warmth and softness to any room.

Can I use this on radiators?

Yes, as the paint is suitable for interior metal surfaces, it can be used on radiators, provided the surface is properly prepped and primed.

How many coats are typically required?

For optimal coverage and color depth, we recommend two full coats, allowing adequate drying time between each application.

Is this a water-based or oil-based paint?

This paint features a unique alkyd resin formula, providing the durability of traditional oil-based paints with modern application benefits.

Does the 5L tin cover a large area?

A 5L tin typically covers approximately 60 square meters with a single coat, depending on the porosity of the surface.

Troubleshooting

Uneven sheen across the surface

Ensure the surface is properly primed and sanded before application, and avoid over-working the paint with the brush.

Paint appears patchy or streaky

Apply a second coat once the first is fully dry, ensuring even application and proper overlapping of brush strokes.

Surface marks are not wiping away easily

Use a soft, non-abrasive cloth dampened with water and a tiny amount of mild detergent; avoid aggressive scrubbing.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Highly durable and scuff-resistant
  • Suitable for walls, wood, and metal
  • Warm, versatile white shade
  • Easy to clean

Cons

  • Ultra-flat finishes can be less forgiving during application

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting your project, ensure that all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. If painting over existing gloss or sheen surfaces, lightly sand the area to provide a mechanical key for the paint to adhere.

  • Application: Use a synthetic brush for woodwork and a medium-pile microfiber roller for large wall surfaces to maintain the integrity of the matte finish.
  • Drying Time: Allow adequate ventilation during the drying process to ensure the alkyd resin cures correctly.
  • Care: For routine cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth with mild soapy water. Avoid abrasive sponges or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can disrupt the flat finish.
