Its high-quality, water-based formula delivers rich, even colour with a soft sheen, specifically designed to withstand high-moisture environments.

FAQs
Is this paint suitable for all rooms?
While formulated for kitchens and bathrooms due to its moisture resistance, it can be used in other interior areas. However, its specific benefits are most pronounced in high-humidity environments.
How much paint do I need?
The paint offers coverage of approximately 12 square meters per litre. Calculate the total area of your walls and divide by 12 to estimate the litres required, accounting for two coats.
Can I return this paint if I don't like the colour?
As this paint is mixed to order, it cannot be returned unless there is a demonstrable quality issue with the product itself.
What is the finish of this paint?
The paint provides a soft sheen finish, which offers a subtle lustre and is generally easier to clean than a matte finish.
How should I clean painted surfaces?
For general cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the surface. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scrubbing, as this can damage the paint finish.
What preparation is needed before painting?
Surfaces must be clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Any existing paint should be sound. Priming bare surfaces is recommended.
How long does it take to dry?
Drying times can vary, but typically allow 2-4 hours for recoating. Refer to the specific product instructions for precise drying times.
Troubleshooting
Paint not covering evenly
Ensure the surface is properly prepared and primed. Apply paint in thin, even coats, allowing adequate drying time between coats. Stir the paint thoroughly before and during use.
Uneven sheen or finish
Ensure consistent application technique. Avoid over-brushing or over-rolling. Ensure the paint is stirred well before and during use. Check for drafts or temperature fluctuations during drying.
Paint peeling or bubbling in high-moisture areas
Verify the surface was properly prepared and primed for high-moisture use. Ensure adequate ventilation in the room during and after painting. Check if the paint is applied over a suitable base coat.
Colour appears different on the wall than on the screen
Colours can appear differently due to screen settings and lighting conditions. It is always recommended to test a small, inconspicuous area or purchase a sample pot if available before committing to a full order.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Durable and suitable for high-moisture environments like kitchens and bathrooms.
- Rich pigment provides excellent depth and even colour coverage.
- Eco-friendly due to made-to-order production minimizing waste.
- Soft sheen finish offers a sophisticated look and is easy to maintain.
- High coverage rate (12 sq.m/litre) means less paint is needed.
Cons
- Made-to-order, meaning it cannot be returned unless there's a quality issue.
- Screen colours may not accurately represent the true paint shade.
- Water-based formula may require multiple coats for full opacity on dark surfaces.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation:
- Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and flaking paint. Repair any imperfections.
- For best results, prime bare plaster or new surfaces with a suitable primer. If painting over a dark or vibrant colour, a primer may also help achieve a more even finish with fewer coats.
Application:
- Stir the paint thoroughly before and during use.
- Apply with a brush or roller. Two coats are generally recommended for best results, especially if changing from a dark colour.
- Allow adequate drying time between coats as per the manufacturer's instructions (typically 2-4 hours).
Compatibility:
This paint is designed for interior walls and ceilings, particularly in kitchens and bathrooms. It is compatible with most standard interior surfaces including plaster, drywall, and previously painted surfaces in good condition.
Care:
Clean application tools with water immediately after use. For painted surfaces, wipe gently with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, as they may damage the soft sheen finish.
