Crown Walls & Ceilings Matt Emulsion Paint - Botany Bay - 2.5L

This paint is specifically designed for interior walls and ceilings, providing a smooth, matt finish.

Typically, two coats are recommended for optimal colour depth and coverage, especially when painting over a contrasting colour. However, a single coat may suffice on similar or very light surfaces.

Under normal conditions (good ventilation, average room temperature), the paint is usually touch dry in 2-4 hours, and can be recoated after 4 hours. Always check the paint's feel before applying a second coat.

Clean brushes and rollers immediately after use with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly until all paint residue is removed.

While it's suitable for general interior walls and ceilings, for high-moisture environments like kitchens and bathrooms, a paint specifically formulated for those areas (e.g., with added durability and mould resistance) might offer better long-term performance. This matt emulsion offers a modern look with no surface shine.

Ensure the surface was thoroughly prepared, clean, and dry. Apply paint evenly, avoiding overspreading. Allow sufficient drying time between coats and apply a second coat if needed.

Stir the paint thoroughly before and during use. Ensure the surface is suitably primed, especially if it's new or porous. Apply appropriate thickness per coat and allow full drying before recoating.

Use a high-quality brush or roller. Avoid overloading your tools with too much paint. Apply paint in even, overlapping strokes and maintain a 'wet edge' to prevent visible lines. Do not overwork the paint.

While this paint is virtually odour-free (Breatheasy formula), ensure good ventilation in the room by opening windows and doors during painting and drying. Prolonged strong odour might indicate an issue with drying conditions or surface contamination.
