FAQs

Can I use this paint on furniture?

While it is a multi-surface paint, always test a small, inconspicuous area first and use a suitable primer for wood or metal.

How many coats are typically required?

For best results, we recommend two full coats, allowing the manufacturer's specified drying time between each.

Is this paint suitable for high-traffic areas?

The dead matt finish is beautiful but delicate; it may be better suited for areas with lower physical contact compared to satin or eggshell finishes.

Do I need a specific type of brush?

Synthetic-filament brushes generally provide the best results for water-based, plant-based formulations.

What is the best way to clean my brushes?

Since this is a water-based paint, warm soapy water is usually sufficient for cleaning brushes and rollers immediately after use.

Troubleshooting

Uneven finish or patchy appearance

This is often caused by lack of primer. Ensure a high-quality primer is applied to seal the surface before your final coats.

Paint not adhering to the surface

Ensure the surface was properly cleaned and degreased before application. Check that any existing glossy paint has been sanded to provide a key.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated dead matt texture
  • Environmentally conscious plant-based ingredients
  • Excellent versatility with multiple application methods
  • Rich, warm, and inviting clay-based neutral tone

Cons

  • Requires professional-grade primer for optimal results
  • Dead matt finishes can be more prone to showing marks than higher sheen options
  • Specific preparation is necessary for high-performance adhesion

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting your project, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free of dust or grease. Applying a suitable primer is a critical step to ensure the long-term durability of the Ionic 87 finish, especially on previously painted or porous surfaces.

  • Surface Prep: Lightly sand existing gloss surfaces and wipe down with a damp cloth.
  • Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply in thin, even coats, allowing for adequate drying time between layers.
  • Care: Maintain the finish by gently wiping with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that can damage the matt texture.
