Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this paint suitable for kitchens?

This paint is durable and wipeable, but for areas with high steam and moisture, we recommend using a dedicated kitchen and bathroom paint.

Can I use this on ceilings?

Yes, this product is specifically formulated to perform well on both walls and ceilings.

How long does it take to dry?

Drying times can vary based on temperature and humidity, but the paint is generally touch-dry within a few hours.

How should I clean the painted surface?

Use a damp, lint-free cloth and mild soapy water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive sponges.

Does it require a primer?

If you are painting over a clean, previously painted surface, a primer may not be necessary, but it is recommended for bare plaster or significant color changes.

Troubleshooting

Visible roller marks

Ensure you are using a high-quality roller and avoid over-working the paint once it begins to tack up.

Paint is not covering in one coat

Ensure the surface is properly primed and allow for full drying time between coats to build up necessary opacity.

Finish looks uneven

Check that the surface was properly prepared and sanded before application; apply a second coat to achieve a uniform sheen.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a sophisticated, soft sheen finish
  • Highly durable and wipeable for easy maintenance
  • Excellent coverage properties
  • Smooth and creamy consistency for easier application
  • Effectively masks minor surface flaws

Cons

  • Not suitable for extremely high-moisture areas like bathrooms
  • Sheen finish may highlight deep wall gouges if not repaired
  • Drying time may vary based on environmental humidity

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before beginning your project, ensure that all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose paint or dust. For optimal results, apply a suitable primer if you are covering a dark color or a porous surface. Use a high-quality synthetic brush for cutting in corners and a medium-pile roller for the main wall surfaces to achieve the best finish. Maintain the paint by keeping the lid tightly closed when not in use and storing it in a cool, dry place. If the wall requires cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth with a mild detergent; avoid using abrasive scrubbers that could degrade the soft sheen layer.
