FAQs
What is the best way to test the colour?
Apply a sample of Treron in the room you intend to paint and observe it at different times of the day to see how the colour changes with the lighting.
Can I use Treron in a bathroom?
While Treron can be used in bathrooms, it is better suited for areas with less moisture. Ensure adequate ventilation.
How many coats of paint are recommended?
Two coats are generally recommended for optimal colour and coverage. However, the exact number can depend on the existing surface and colour.
What type of roller should I use?
Use a roller with a short to medium pile for a smooth, even finish. Ensure it's suitable for emulsion paint.
How do I clean paint brushes and rollers?
Clean brushes and rollers with water immediately after use. Ensure all paint is removed to extend their lifespan.
What is the coverage of a 5L tin?
Coverage varies based on the surface, but a 5L tin typically covers a significant area. Refer to the product label for specific coverage details.
Troubleshooting
Uneven finish after painting.
Ensure the paint is thoroughly mixed and apply an even coat. Consider using a roller with a good quality sleeve to avoid streaks.

Priming: Apply a suitable primer to the surface to ensure better adhesion and a more even finish. For previously painted surfaces, ensure the existing paint is sound and compatible.
Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply two coats of Treron, allowing sufficient drying time between coats (as specified on the paint tin).
Compatibility: Compatible with a range of primers and undercoats designed for interior use. Check the Farrow & Ball website for specific recommendations.
