FAQs
What finish does Lick Grey 15 Eggshell Emulsion Paint have?
It has a mid-sheen, satin-smooth eggshell finish.
How much area does 2.5L of this paint cover?
The coverage is approximately 10-13m² per litre, meaning a 2.5L tin should cover around 25-32.5m² with one coat. Two coats are recommended for best results.
Is this paint suitable for bathrooms?
Yes, it is super durable against steam, moisture, and water, making it suitable for bathrooms and kitchens.
How do I clean the painted surface?
The finish is hard-wearing and wipeable. Use a damp cloth and mild detergent for cleaning. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
What colour is Grey 15?
Grey 15 is a dark grey shade with warm lavender undertones, creating a cosy, slate grey appearance.
Do I need to use a primer?
While the paint offers good coverage, preparing the surface by ensuring it is clean, dry, and sound is crucial. For drastic colour changes or very porous surfaces, a primer might be beneficial, though not explicitly stated as required by the product description.
Can I use this paint on furniture?
This emulsion paint is specifically designed for interior walls and ceilings. For furniture, a paint designed for wood or multi-surface use would be more appropriate.
Troubleshooting
Paint not covering imperfections well
Ensure surfaces were properly prepared and clean. Apply a second coat as recommended for maximum opacity and evenness.
Uneven finish or brush marks visible
Ensure paint is stirred thoroughly. Apply paint using consistent strokes and avoid over-brushing. Allow adequate drying time between coats.
Paint seems too thick or difficult to apply
Ensure the paint is at room temperature. Avoid thinning the paint unless explicitly recommended by the manufacturer, as this can affect durability and finish.
Surface is still showing moisture marks after painting
While durable, if the surface is subject to persistent, heavy moisture, ensure adequate ventilation. This paint is resistant but not waterproof.
