Crown Walls & Ceilings Matt Emulsion Paint - Blue - 5L

Coverage can vary, but a 5L can of Crown Matt Emulsion typically covers approximately 60-70 square meters with one coat. To calculate, measure the length and height of your walls, multiply to get the area, and account for two coats. Remember to subtract the area of any windows and doors. Info needed: Specific coverage per litre.

This paint is typically touch dry within 2-4 hours, and can be recoated after 4 hours. Always refer to the specific instructions on the paint can for precise drying times, as these can vary with temperature and humidity.

While it can be used, this standard matt emulsion may not offer the best durability or moisture resistance for high-humidity areas like bathrooms or high-traffic kitchens. For these spaces, consider paints specifically formulated for kitchens and bathrooms, which offer enhanced durability and moisture protection.

A primer or mist coat is highly recommended on new plaster, bare absorbent surfaces, or if you are making a significant colour change (e.g., dark to light). For previously painted surfaces in good condition, a primer is often not necessary, but ensure the surface is clean and sound.

Do not pour paint down drains. Allow small amounts of leftover paint to dry completely in the can with the lid off, then dispose of it with general household waste. For larger quantities, contact your local authority or recycling centre for proper disposal guidelines.

Ensure the surface was properly prepared and primed if necessary. Apply paint in thin, even coats, allowing sufficient drying time between coats. Avoid over-brushing or over-rolling, and maintain a wet edge.

Thoroughly stir the paint before and during application. Ensure the surface is not overly porous; if so, apply a primer or a mist coat first. Apply coats evenly and do not spread the paint too thinly.

Use a high-quality roller and brush appropriate for emulsion paint. Apply paint evenly and avoid pressing too hard. For rollers, maintain a consistent technique and always finish strokes in one direction. Ensure each coat is fully dry before applying the next.

Paint colour can be affected by lighting conditions (natural vs. artificial light) and surrounding colours. Always test a small, inconspicuous area first. Ensure the paint was thoroughly mixed to prevent colour separation.
