Full details

Its key benefit is excellent coverage that often requires fewer coats, saving time and effort. A primary caveat is that this product is mixed to order and therefore non-returnable.

FAQs

What is the best way to apply this paint?

Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply with a brush or roller, maintaining a wet edge to avoid lap marks. For optimal results, apply two even coats, allowing sufficient drying time between coats.

Can this paint be used on wood or metal?

This paint is specifically designed for interior walls and ceilings. It is not recommended for use on wood or metal surfaces unless they have been appropriately primed with a suitable metal or wood primer and the suitability is confirmed by the primer manufacturer.

How long does the paint take to dry?

The paint is quick-drying. Typically, it can be recoated after 2-4 hours under normal conditions, but always check the specific drying time indicated on the product packaging.

What does 'Vinyl Matt' mean?

'Vinyl Matt' refers to the binder in the paint (vinyl acetate) and its finish. The 'Matt' aspect means it has a very low sheen, providing a flat, non-reflective surface that helps to hide imperfections.

Is this paint washable?

While the paint has a durable finish, the flat matt surface is not designed for heavy scrubbing. It can be wiped gently with a damp cloth for light cleaning, but abrasive cleaners or vigorous scrubbing may damage the finish.

What are the dimensions and weight of the 5L can?

The dimensions of the 5L can are approximately H:24cm x W:19cm x D:19cm, and it weighs around 6.0 kg.

Why can't I return this paint if I change my mind?

This product is mixed to order to specific colour requirements, which means it cannot be returned or refunded once the order is placed, unless it is faulty.

Troubleshooting

Paint is too thick or difficult to spread

Stir the paint thoroughly. If still too thick, you can add a small amount of clean water (typically no more than 10% for the first coat) and mix well.

Uneven finish or visible brush marks

Ensure the surface is properly prepared and primed. Apply paint evenly with a good quality brush or roller, working in consistent strokes and maintaining a wet edge to avoid lap marks. Avoid overworking the paint.

Poor coverage or colour not fully opaque

Ensure the surface was adequately primed if necessary. Apply a second coat as recommended. If covering a very dark or vibrant colour, consider using a tinted primer or an extra coat.

Paint is not drying properly

Check room temperature and humidity levels. Ensure adequate ventilation. Avoid painting in cold, damp conditions. Drying times can be longer in cooler or more humid environments.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Covers surfaces effectively in fewer coats.
  • The matt finish hides imperfections well.
  • Easy to apply with minimal spatter or mess.
  • Dries quickly for efficient project completion.
  • Low VOC content is better for indoor air quality.
  • Professional-grade finish for walls and ceilings.

Cons

  • Mixed to order, therefore non-refundable or returnable.
  • Requires a suitable primer for optimal adhesion on certain surfaces.
  • Matt finish may not be ideal for high-traffic areas prone to frequent cleaning.
  • May require multiple coats over very dark or vibrant existing colours.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure the surface to be painted is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and flaking paint. Lightly sand glossy surfaces before application. For best results on new plaster or previously painted surfaces, apply a suitable primer. Stir the paint thoroughly before use.

Compatibility: This is a water-based emulsion paint suitable for interior walls and ceilings. It adheres well to most prepared surfaces, including plaster, drywall, and previously painted surfaces.

Care: After application, allow the paint to cure fully. Clean brushes and rollers immediately after use with water. For general maintenance, wipe the painted surface gently with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or excessive scrubbing, as this can damage the matt finish.
