FAQs

How long does it take for the paint to fully cure?

The paint should be allowed to cure for at least 14 days before attempting any significant cleaning or washing.

Can I use this paint in a bathroom or kitchen?

Yes, its high washability makes it suitable for kitchens and bathrooms where regular cleaning is necessary. Ensure good ventilation during application and drying.

Is this paint suitable for exterior use?

No, Crown Easyclean Matt Emulsion is specifically formulated for interior use only.

What is the difference between this and standard matt paint?

Crown Easyclean Matt Emulsion is significantly more durable and washable, designed to withstand repetitive cleaning, unlike standard matt paints which can be damaged by frequent washing.

How many coats of paint do I need?

Typically, one or two coats are sufficient, depending on the surface and colour. Allow adequate drying time between coats.

Can I use this on wooden furniture?

Yes, it can be used on wood, but it requires a suitable primer (like Crown Trade High Performance Primer) to be applied first for optimal adhesion and finish.

What is the drying time between coats?

Allow approximately 4-6 hours for the first coat to dry before applying the second coat.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering well to the surface.

Ensure the surface was properly prepared, clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Apply a suitable primer if necessary.

Uneven finish or brush/roller marks are visible.

Ensure the paint was stirred thoroughly. Apply in even coats, avoiding overworking. Use a high-quality brush or roller suitable for emulsion paints.

Marks are difficult to remove after the paint has cured.

Allow the paint to fully cure for at least 14 days. Use a soft cloth with warm water and a mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

The paint appears streaky after cleaning.

Use minimal water and a gentle dabbing motion rather than vigorous rubbing. Rinse the area with clean water and allow to dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation:

Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and any loose paint. Fill any cracks or holes and sand down to a smooth finish.
Apply a suitable primer if painting over dark colours, bare plaster, or previously gloss-painted surfaces. For best results on walls and ceilings, use Crown Trade Alkali Resisting Primer.
For previously painted surfaces, ensure they are sound. If the surface is shiny, lightly abrade it.

Application:

Stir the paint thoroughly before use.
Apply one or two coats using a brush or roller. Allow approximately 4-6 hours for the first coat to dry before applying the second.
For best coverage and to ensure maximum washability, apply evenly and avoid overworking the paint.

Compatibility:

Suitable for interior walls, ceilings, wood, and metal.
When applying to wood or metal, use a suitable primer first (e.g., Crown Trade High Performance Primer for wood and metal).

Care & Cleaning:

Allow the paint to cure fully for at least 14 days before attempting to clean.
For minor marks, use a soft cloth or sponge with warm water and a mild detergent. Gently wipe the affected area.
Avoid using abrasive cleaners, strong solvents, or excessive water, as these can damage the paint finish.
Rinse the area with clean water after cleaning and allow to dry naturally.
