FAQs

Do I really need a primer and top coat with this paint?

No, this paint is formulated to be self-priming and self-sealing, eliminating the need for separate primer and top coat layers for most applications.

How much area does a 500ml tin cover?

A 500ml tin will cover approximately 7m² with one coat. For a durable finish, two coats are recommended, meaning you can expect to cover about 3.5m² in total.

Is this paint suitable for kitchen cabinets?

Yes, it is suitable for kitchen cupboards and built-in furniture. Its scuff-resistant finish makes it a good choice for frequently used surfaces.

Can I use this paint outdoors?

No, this paint is specifically designed for interior use only.

Is this paint safe for children's furniture?

Yes, the paint is certified EN71-3 safe, making it suitable for use on children's toys and furniture.

How do I clean my painted surface?

Clean the painted surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.

What kind of sheen does this paint have?

It has a soft-satin sheen.

Troubleshooting

Paint is too thick or stringy.

Stir thoroughly. If still too thick, a very small amount of water (max 10%) can be added, but this may affect the finish or drying time.

Uneven finish or brush marks visible.

Ensure even application with consistent strokes. Use a high-quality brush or foam roller. Apply thinner coats rather than one thick coat.

Paint is not adhering well.

Ensure the surface was properly cleaned and degreased before application. For very glossy surfaces, a light scuff-sand may be necessary.

Slow drying time.

Ensure application is within recommended temperature and humidity levels. Avoid applying too thickly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from grease or wax. Lightly abrading very glossy surfaces can improve adhesion. No primer is required.

Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply with a good quality brush or roller. Two coats are recommended for best results. Allow adequate drying time between coats.

Compatibility: Suitable for interior woodwork, trims, skirting, doors, powder-coated radiators, metal, and most furniture surfaces including wood and laminate. It is not recommended for exterior use or areas of constant high moisture.

Care: Once fully cured, the finish is robust. Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive scrubbing.
