How many coats of paint are typically needed?

> Info needed: [Number of coats recommendation]. Generally, two coats are recommended for optimal colour depth and an even finish, especially when painting over a contrasting colour or bare plaster.

What kind of finish does this paint provide?

It provides a luxurious velvet matt finish, which offers a soft, non-reflective appearance that helps to hide minor imperfections and adds a sophisticated feel to your interior spaces.

How should I prepare my walls before painting?

What is the coverage per 2.5L can?

> Info needed: [Coverage area per liter/can]. The coverage can vary depending on the porosity and texture of the surface. Always check the product label for specific coverage guidelines.

Can I dilute this paint?

Refer to the specific product instructions for any dilution recommendations.

Troubleshooting

Uneven finish or patchy appearance.

Ensure thorough surface preparation (clean, dry, smooth, primed if necessary). Apply paint evenly using a good quality brush or roller, allowing recommended drying time between coats. Ensure the paint was well-stirred before use.

Poor coverage, requiring more coats than expected.

Verify the surface was properly prepared and primed, especially for new or porous surfaces. Avoid over-thinning the paint. Apply recommended number of coats, ensuring each coat is applied evenly.

Paint appears darker or lighter than expected.

Colour can be influenced by lighting conditions in a room (natural vs. artificial light). Ensure the paint was thoroughly mixed before application to distribute pigments evenly. Test a small, inconspicuous area first.
