How many coats of paint do I need?

For optimal colour depth and durability, two coats are generally recommended. Always check the specific coverage on the product tin.

Does this paint cover imperfections well?

Modern Emulsion has a smooth finish, but it does not actively hide imperfections. Proper surface preparation, including filling and sanding, is key to a flawless result.

What is the drying time for Farrow & Ball Modern Emulsion?

Drying times can vary, but typically it is touch dry in 2 hours and recoatable after 4 hours. Ensure good ventilation for faster drying.

Troubleshooting

Paint appears streaky or uneven after drying.

Ensure the paint was stirred thoroughly and applied evenly with consistent brush/roller strokes. Allow adequate drying time between coats and consider a third coat if necessary for full opacity.

Mould is still appearing on walls.

While mould-resistant, ensure good ventilation in the room. Address any underlying causes of excessive dampness. Re-apply the paint to a clean, dry surface after treating any existing mould.

Surface is difficult to clean.

Use a soft, damp cloth with a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive cleaning tools, which can damage the paint film.

Paint odour persists.

Although low odour, some scent may be present during application. Ensure good ventilation during and after painting to help dissipate any remaining odour.
