FAQs
Can I use this paint on exterior walls?

How many coats of paint will I need?
Typically, two coats are recommended for optimal coverage and finish. However, this can vary depending on the original surface color and condition.
How long does it take for the paint to dry?
Info needed: Drying time. Generally, emulsion paints are touch dry within 2-4 hours, with recoat time often around 4 hours. Always refer to specific product instructions for exact times.
Do I need to use a primer before applying this paint?
For new, bare, or porous surfaces (like new plaster or plasterboard), a suitable primer or a diluted first coat of this paint (mist coat) is recommended to seal the surface and ensure even absorption. On previously painted, sound surfaces, a primer is usually not necessary.
How do I clean paint brushes and rollers after use?
Clean all equipment immediately after use with warm water.
Is this paint suitable for bathrooms or kitchens?
While it can be used, for high-moisture areas like bathrooms or kitchens, a specific 'kitchen & bathroom' emulsion with enhanced durability and moisture resistance might be a more suitable long-term option.
What does "virtually odourless" mean?
It means the paint has a very low odor compared to traditional paints, making the painting experience much more pleasant and less disruptive, especially in enclosed spaces.
What size is this particular paint can?
This specific product (Crown Walls & Ceilings Matt Emulsion Paint - Neighbourhood) comes in a 2.5L can. Other sizes may be available for different variants of Crown Matt Emulsion Paint.
Troubleshooting
Paint appears streaky or uneven after drying.
Ensure even application by maintaining a wet edge, avoid over-rolling, and apply sufficient paint. Ensure proper surface preparation and allow adequate drying time between coats.
Poor coverage or visible underlying color after first coat.
Stir the paint thoroughly before and during use to ensure pigments are well dispersed. Apply a second coat, allowing recommended drying time. Darker previous colors may require additional coats.
Paint odor lingers longer than expected.
Ensure ample ventilation during painting and for several hours/days after application. Open windows and doors to promote air circulation.
Paint is too thick or difficult to apply smoothly.
Stir the paint vigorously. If truly too thick (rare for emulsion), a very small amount of water (max 5%) can be added and mixed thoroughly, but this can impact coverage.
Bubbles appearing on the painted surface.
This can be caused by over-rolling, using a fluffy roller on a very porous surface, or painting in very hot/humid conditions. Apply smooth, even pressure and avoid excessive rolling.
