Crown Crafted Flat Matt Paint 2.5L - Grey

Flat Matt refers to a paint finish that has virtually no sheen or reflection. It creates a soft, elegant, and sophisticated look, helping to hide minor surface imperfections and providing a deep, rich colour.

While it can be used on walls and ceilings in these rooms, its flat matt finish is generally less durable and washable than paints designed specifically for high-moisture or high-traffic areas (e.g., eggshell, silk, or dedicated kitchen/bathroom paints). For areas prone to condensation or frequent cleaning, a more durable finish might be preferred.

Thanks to its complete coverage, two coats are typically sufficient for most applications, especially when painting over a similar colour or a primed surface. However, more coats may be needed if painting over a much darker colour or a highly porous surface.

A low-allergen formula means the paint has been developed to minimize the release of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other substances that commonly trigger allergic reactions or sensitivities, contributing to a healthier indoor air quality.

Flat matt paints are generally not highly washable in the way a silk or eggshell paint might be. For minor marks, you can gently wipe with a soft, *slightly* damp cloth without scrubbing. Vigorous cleaning can 'burnish' (create a shine) or remove the paint film, so touch-ups are often recommended for more significant marks.

Yes, this paint is suitable for interior wood surfaces, including furniture. For best results on furniture, ensure the piece is properly prepared (sanded, cleaned, and primed if necessary) before application to ensure good adhesion and a durable finish.

Info needed: Specific drying and recoat times are not provided in the product description. Generally, most emulsion paints are touch-dry within 1-2 hours and ready for a second coat in 2-4 hours. Always refer to the product label for precise drying times.

Ensure the paint was thoroughly stirred before and during application. Apply an even coat, avoiding overspreading. A second coat may be necessary, and for significant colour changes or porous surfaces, a suitable primer is recommended.

Apply the paint in consistent, even strokes or rolls, maintaining a wet edge to avoid overlapping dry paint. Use high-quality brushes and rollers appropriate for matt paint. Avoid applying too much pressure.

This paint has a luxuriously creamy texture, so if it feels thin, it may not have been stirred properly. Stir thoroughly from the bottom up to ensure all components are mixed. Do not dilute unless specifically instructed for a particular application.

This often indicates poor surface preparation. Ensure the surface was clean, dry, and sound before painting. Remove all loose or flaking old paint, sand smooth, and prime if necessary, especially on glossy or unsealed surfaces.

Ensure the room is well-ventilated during drying, as high humidity can affect the final sheen. Also, sometimes over-wiping or burnishing a flat matt surface can introduce a slight sheen. Allow adequate drying time between coats and for the final cure.
