FAQs

Can I use this paint in a bathroom?

Yes, you can use it on bathroom walls and ceilings, but it should be avoided in very wet areas like shower enclosures or directly around bath surrounds due to its lack of full waterproofing.

Do I need a primer or top coat?

No, this paint is self-priming and self-sealing, meaning no primer or top coat is required for most interior surfaces.

How do I clean the painted surface?

Once cured, the paint is fully scrubbable. Clean with a damp cloth or sponge and mild soapy water. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

What is the coverage rate?

A 2.5L tin covers up to 35m² with one coat. Two coats are recommended, covering approximately 17.5m².

Is this paint safe for children's rooms?

Yes, it is EN71-3 certified, making it safe for use on children's toys and furniture. It is also low in VOCs and has virtually no odour.

What finish does this paint have?

It provides an ultra-matte finish, which is non-reflective and offers a sophisticated look.

Can I use this on wooden floors?

Yes, it can be used on interior wooden floors, but it is not designed for high-traffic or commercial floor applications. Ensure good ventilation and allow for full curing before heavy use.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering well

Ensure the surface was clean, dry, and free from contaminants before painting. If the surface is very porous or glossy, a light sanding or appropriate preparation may be needed.

Uneven colour finish

Ensure paint is stirred thoroughly before and during use. Apply paint evenly, avoiding overworking it. Two coats are recommended for a uniform depth of colour.

Brush marks or roller texture visible

Use a high-quality brush or roller. Apply paint with consistent, even strokes. Avoid applying the paint too thickly or overworking it in one area.

Paint seems too thick

Ensure the paint has not been stored in extreme temperatures. If slightly thick, it can be thinned minimally with water (less than 10%), but this may affect the finish and scrubbability. Test in an inconspicuous area first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Surface Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and flaking paint. For previously painted surfaces, a light sanding may be beneficial. This paint is self-priming, but on very porous or problematic surfaces, a test patch is advised.

Compatibility: Suitable for interior walls and ceilings. Can also be applied to interior woodwork, wooden furniture, wooden floors, kitchen cupboards, metal (e.g., powder-coated radiators), interior uPVC, and ceramic wall tiles. Avoid using in very wet areas such as shower enclosures or directly around bath surrounds.

Application: Stir thoroughly before use. Apply with a good quality synthetic brush or roller. Two thin coats are recommended for best coverage and durability. Allow adequate drying time between coats (typically 1-2 hours).

Care: Once fully cured (allow up to 7 days), the paint is completely scrubbable. Clean with a damp cloth or sponge and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
