FAQs

How much paint do I need?

Coverage is approximately 13m² per litre. Calculate the surface area and consider two coats.

What tools do I need?

You'll need a brush, roller, paint tray, and possibly extension poles. A dust sheet and painter's tape can also be helpful.

Can I use this paint in a bathroom?

While suitable for most interiors, consider a paint specifically designed for high-humidity areas like bathrooms.

How long does it take to dry?

Typically, the paint is touch-dry in 2-4 hours and fully dry in 6-8 hours. Recoat after 4 hours.

How do I clean my brushes and rollers?

Wash brushes and rollers immediately after use with warm, soapy water.

What is the shelf life of the paint?

Unopened paint can last for several years if stored correctly. Once opened, it should be used within a year.

Can I apply this paint over wallpaper?

It is generally not recommended to apply directly over wallpaper. Remove the wallpaper first for best results.

Troubleshooting

Paint appears patchy or uneven.

Ensure thorough stirring before application. Apply a second coat, allowing the first coat to dry completely.

Paint is not adhering properly.

Ensure the surface is clean and primed if necessary. Lightly sand the surface for better adhesion.

Paint is too thick.

Thin the paint slightly with water, following the manufacturer's instructions. Ensure you are using the correct application tools.

Bubbles appear after painting.

Avoid over-brushing or over-rolling. Apply the paint in thin, even coats and ensure the surface is not too porous.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Surface Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose paint, grease, and dust. Fill any cracks or holes with appropriate filler and sand smooth.
  2. Priming: For new or porous surfaces, apply a suitable primer before painting.
  3. Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply two coats, allowing each coat to dry completely. Use a brush for edges and a roller for larger areas.
  4. Compatibility: This paint is compatible with most interior surfaces, including plaster, drywall, and previously painted walls. Always test on a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure compatibility.
  5. Care: Clean spills immediately with a damp cloth. For cleaning the painted surface, use a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  6. Storage: Store paint in a cool, dry place. Seal the container tightly after use to prevent drying.
