FAQs
Can this paint be used in a bathroom?
While it is durable, this is a standard matt emulsion. It is not specifically formulated for high-condensation areas like bathrooms, which generally require a specialized moisture-resistant paint.
How many coats do I need?
Two full coats are typically recommended for optimal coverage and color depth, especially when covering a previous color.
Is this paint suitable for ceilings?
Yes, its low-sheen matt finish is excellent for ceilings as it helps mask surface imperfections.
What should I use to clean my brushes?
Because it is a water-based paint, you can clean brushes and rollers using warm water and a small amount of household detergent.
Does Baby Blossom require a specific undercoat?
Generally, no, but if you are painting over a very dark color, using a tinted grey primer will help achieve the desired finish faster.
How long should I wait between coats?
Allow at least 2 to 4 hours between coats, though this may vary depending on the ambient temperature and room humidity.
Troubleshooting
Paint is showing brush or roller marks
Ensure you are using the correct quality of applicator and maintain a 'wet edge' while painting to allow the paint to level properly.
Color appears blotchy
This is often due to uneven surface porosity; apply a coat of primer or a mist coat of thinned emulsion to balance the surface before the final topcoats.
Paint is peeling or flaking shortly after application
Check that the surface was completely clean and free of grease or old, loose paint before application. Sand down the area and re-apply.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before application, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose paint, dust, or grease. If the wall is chalky or powdery, apply a primer first to ensure proper adhesion. For application, stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply the paint at temperatures above 10 degrees Celsius and avoid painting in high humidity. Once applied, allow the paint to fully cure according to the recommended drying times before attempting to clean the surface. When cleaning, use a soft cloth or sponge with a mild detergent solution, avoiding abrasive scrubbers that may damage the matt finish.
