FAQs

Can this paint be used on wood or metal?

This paint is specifically formulated for interior walls and ceilings. For wood or metal surfaces, a specialized primer and paint would be required.

How long does the paint take to dry?

Touch dry in approximately 1-2 hours, and recoatable after 4 hours, depending on temperature and humidity. Always refer to the product can for exact drying times.

What is the coverage rate of this paint?

The paint provides excellent coverage, typically around 15 square meters per liter. However, this can vary depending on the surface texture and porosity.

Can I return this paint if I change my mind?

No, this product is mixed to order in the specific Berry Smoothie color and therefore cannot be returned or refunded unless faulty.

Is this paint suitable for bathrooms or kitchens?

While suitable for general interior use, for high-moisture areas like bathrooms and kitchens, a specialized kitchen and bathroom paint with higher durability and washability is often recommended.

How should I clean up paint spills?

Clean brushes, rollers, and any spills immediately with water. Once the paint is dry, it will be more difficult to remove.

What is the shelf life of the paint?

If stored correctly in a cool, dry place, unopened, the paint typically has a shelf life of around 1-2 years. Once opened, it's best to use it within a few months.

Troubleshooting

Paint is too thick or difficult to apply

Stir the paint thoroughly. If still too thick, you can add a small amount of clean water (up to 1 part water to 10 parts paint) for easier application, but avoid over-thinning as this can affect opacity and finish.

Uneven finish or brush marks visible

Ensure paint is stirred well and applied evenly with consistent strokes. Avoid overworking the paint. For roller application, maintain a wet edge to prevent lap marks. Allow adequate drying time between coats.

Poor coverage, requiring multiple coats

Ensure the surface was properly prepared and is not too porous. If covering a very dark or contrasting color, a third coat might be necessary, or consider using a primer first. Ensure you are applying a consistent thickness of paint.

Surface imperfections are still visible

The matt finish helps disguise minor flaws. For significant imperfections, proper surface preparation, including filling and sanding, is essential before painting.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Achieves a professional, smooth finish.
  • Excellent coverage reduces paint consumption.
  • Matt finish hides surface imperfections effectively.
  • Easy to apply with minimal spatter.
  • Quick drying time speeds up projects.
  • Versatile pink shade suitable for many rooms.

Cons

  • Non-refundable as it is mixed to order.
  • Requires adequate surface preparation for best results.
  • Matt finish can be challenging to clean compared to silk or satin finishes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and peeling paint. For previously painted surfaces, lightly sand any sheen to promote adhesion. Fill any cracks or holes with appropriate filler and allow to dry completely before proceeding.

Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply with a brush or roller, using even strokes. For best results, apply a second coat if needed after the first coat has dried (typically 4 hours, check can for specific drying times). Avoid applying in very cold, damp conditions or in direct strong sunlight.

Compatibility: Suitable for all normal interior wall and ceiling surfaces, including plaster, masonry, and previously decorated surfaces in good condition.

Care: To clean brushes and rollers, use water immediately after use. For the painted surface, once dry, it is best to clean gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive rubbing, especially on fresh paint.
