FAQs
What type of finish does this paint provide?
This Crown Matt Emulsion Paint provides a modern matt finish with no surface shine, giving a smooth and contemporary look to your walls and ceilings.
Can I use this paint in a bathroom or kitchen?
While suitable for general interior walls and ceilings, this matt emulsion is not specifically designed for high-humidity areas like bathrooms or kitchens. For these rooms, it's recommended to use a specialist moisture and steam-resistant paint.
How many coats will I need?
The number of coats required depends on the surface condition and the existing colour. This paint offers great coverage, but two coats are typically recommended for the best finish. Darker colours or highly absorbent surfaces may require more.
How do I clean spills or marks on the painted surface?
Matt finishes are generally less durable than silk or satin. For spills, gently wipe immediately with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid scrubbing, as this can mark the finish. For more stubborn marks, a very mild, non-abrasive cleaner can be tried on an inconspicuous area first.
What is the 'breatheasy' formula?
The `breatheasy` formula means the paint is virtually odour-free, significantly reducing the paint smell during and after application, making for a more pleasant painting experience.
Troubleshooting
Paint appears patchy or streaky.
Ensure the surface was clean and properly prepared. Apply paint in even, consistent coats, avoiding over-brushing or over-rolling. Allow sufficient drying time between coats.
Paint is not covering old colour effectively.
Ensure the paint was thoroughly stirred before use. Consider applying an additional thin coat. For significant colour changes or very porous surfaces, a suitable primer or undercoat may be beneficial before applying the emulsion.
Paint feels tacky or is taking too long to dry.
Ensure adequate ventilation in the room by opening windows and doors. Check the room temperature and humidity, as very cold or damp conditions can prolong drying. Apply thinner coats if current layers are too thick.
Small lumps or particles in the dried paint.
Always stir the paint thoroughly before and during use. Ensure the roller or brush is clean and free of debris. If the paint tin was open for a while, a skin might have formed; remove it before stirring.
