FAQs

How much paint do I need?

Coverage is approximately 13m² per litre. Calculate the surface area of your walls and ceilings to determine the amount of paint required. It is always best to buy a little extra.

What tools do I need?

You will need brushes, rollers, a paint tray, and possibly extension poles for ceilings.

Can I use this paint in bathrooms or kitchens?

While the paint is washable, it is not specifically designed for high-moisture environments. Ensure good ventilation.

How long does it take to dry?

Drying times can vary, but generally, allow 2-4 hours between coats. Check the paint can for specific instructions.

How do I clean my brushes and rollers?

Clean tools immediately after use with warm, soapy water. Dispose of waste properly.

What is the shelf life of the paint?

When stored properly, the paint should last for several years. Always seal the can tightly after use.

Can I return the paint if I don't like the colour?

No, because the paint is mixed to order, it cannot be returned or refunded.

Troubleshooting

Paint appears streaky or uneven after application.

Ensure the paint is thoroughly mixed. Apply an even coat and avoid over-brushing or over-rolling. If the issue persists, apply a second coat.

Paint is not covering the surface adequately.

Ensure that the surface is properly prepared. Apply a second coat of paint for full coverage.

Paint takes too long to dry.

Ensure adequate ventilation in the room. Check the temperature and humidity, as extreme conditions can affect drying times. Apply a thinner coat of paint.
