Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this paint suitable for bathrooms?

While it is durable and scrub-resistant, it is primarily designed for living areas and bedrooms. Ensure the room has adequate ventilation if used in humid spaces.

Can I use this on wood surfaces?

No, this product is specifically formulated for walls and ceilings. Use dedicated wood paint for doors or trim.

How many coats should I apply?

For best results, apply two full coats, allowing sufficient drying time between layers.

How do I clean the paint off my tools?

Clean all equipment thoroughly with warm soapy water immediately after use.

What should I do if I spill paint on the carpet?

Clean up spills immediately with a damp cloth while the paint is still wet. Dried paint is significantly more difficult to remove.

Does this paint have a strong smell?

No, it is a low-odour formula, making it much more pleasant to use in enclosed indoor spaces than traditional oil-based paints.

Troubleshooting

Visible roller marks or streaks

Ensure you are using a good quality roller and maintaining a 'wet edge' by not over-working the paint as it begins to dry.

Paint finish shows bumps on the wall

Silk paint has a higher sheen that highlights imperfections. Sand the wall surface thoroughly and apply a smooth primer before painting again.

Paint not sticking properly

Check that the surface is free of grease, dust, or loose debris. If painting over a glossy surface, lightly sand the area first to improve adhesion.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-sheen finish reflects light to brighten dark rooms
  • Easy to clean and scrub-resistant for high-traffic areas
  • Low-odour formulation makes indoor application more comfortable
  • Provides smooth, consistent coverage
  • Environmentally conscious with low VOC content

Cons

  • High sheen can emphasize surface bumps or wall imperfections
  • Requires careful surface preparation to avoid streaks
  • May require more coats over dark, high-contrast colours

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before applying the paint, ensure all wall surfaces are clean, dry, and primed if necessary. Fill any cracks or holes and sand down rough areas, as the silk sheen will highlight any surface irregularities. Stir the paint thoroughly before use to ensure a consistent pigment mix. Use a synthetic brush for corners and edges, and a medium-pile roller for large wall and ceiling areas. After the job is complete, clean brushes and rollers immediately with warm soapy water. Store the remaining paint in a cool, dry place, ensuring the lid is tightly sealed to prevent the contents from drying out.
