Product Information
Full details
Craig & Rose Red paint is designed for homeowners and interior designers seeking a professional-grade finish with deep, rich pigmentation for residential spaces. Its primary benefit is the combination of superior coverage and a highly durable finish that stands up to daily wear, making it an excellent choice for statement walls. The main caveat to keep in mind is that the bold, vibrant nature of this red requires careful surface preparation and potentially more coats than lighter neutrals to achieve full opacity and depth.

FAQs
Does this paint require a primer?
While the paint has excellent coverage, a primer is highly recommended, especially if you are covering a dark color or a porous surface.
Can I use this paint in a kitchen or bathroom?
It is intended for general interior use. Check the technical label to see if it meets the specific moisture resistance requirements for high-humidity areas.
How long should I wait between coats?
Always follow the drying time guidelines on the label, typically 2-4 hours, depending on room temperature and humidity.
Is this paint suitable for exterior use?
No, this is specifically formulated for interior applications and will not withstand outdoor weathering.
How many coats do I need?
Due to the intensity of red pigments, two coats are usually sufficient, though a third may be necessary depending on the underlying surface color.
Troubleshooting
Visible brush strokes after drying
Ensure you are using a high-quality brush and do not over-work the paint; allow each coat to level naturally.
Uneven color or 'patchiness'
Apply a second or third coat, ensuring you maintain a 'wet edge' while painting to avoid overlap marks.
Paint peeling or flaking
This is usually caused by poor surface preparation; ensure the substrate was clean and free of loose debris before painting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before application, ensure the wall is clean, dry, and free of dust or grease. Fill any cracks or holes with appropriate filler and sand smooth before applying a primer. Stir the paint thoroughly before use to ensure the pigments are evenly distributed throughout the base. For cleaning, use a mild soap and a soft, damp cloth to wipe down walls. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive sponges, as these can dull the finish or affect the intensity of the pigment. Store unused paint in a cool, dry place with the lid sealed tightly to prevent skinning.
