FAQs

Can I use this paint in a bathroom?

This paint is designed for interior use, but due to its dead matt finish, it may not withstand constant humidity as well as dedicated bathroom paints.

Does it need a primer?

While the paint has excellent coverage, we recommend a primer if you are covering a dark or porous surface to ensure the truest color.

How many coats are typically required?

Typically, two coats will provide a solid, even finish, depending on the color of the underlying surface.

Is this safe for use on furniture?

Yes, it is a multi-surface paint, but keep in mind that dead matt surfaces can scuff easily on high-touch furniture.

What is the primary characteristic of the No.246 shade?

It is a blend of dusty lilac and pink with a subtle hint of grey for a sophisticated finish.

Troubleshooting

Visible roller marks

Ensure you are using a high-quality roller and avoid over-working the paint as it begins to dry.

Poor adhesion

Ensure the surface was properly cleaned and degreased, and that any existing glossy paint was sanded down first.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated, non-reflective finish
  • Excellent hide and coverage properties
  • Timeless, heritage-inspired color
  • Ideal for covering minor surface irregularities

Cons

  • Not suitable for exterior exposure
  • Dead matt finishes can be more susceptible to scuffing than glossier alternatives
  • Requires careful preparation of surfaces to ensure longevity

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before application, ensure your surface is clean, dry, and free of dust or grease. If painting over glossy surfaces, lightly sand the area to improve adhesion. For best results, use high-quality brushes or rollers suitable for water-based emulsions. Apply in thin, even coats, allowing for the recommended drying time between layers. When cleaning the finished surface, use a soft, damp cloth and avoid harsh chemical cleaners that may damage the matt finish. Always test the color on a small, inconspicuous patch to ensure the shade meets your expectations under your home's specific lighting conditions.
