FAQs

Is Leadenhall No.118 suitable for bathrooms?

While durable and washable, it is primarily designed for high-traffic interior living areas. Ensure the space is well-ventilated if used in moisture-prone rooms.

Does this paint require a primer?

While it can be applied directly to most prepared surfaces, using a primer is recommended if you are painting over a dark color or a porous, unfinished wall.

How should I clean scuff marks?

Use a soft, damp cloth or a slightly moistened sponge with mild soapy water. Gently wipe the affected area.

Is this paint environmentally friendly?

Yes, it is a low-VOC, eco-friendly paint formulated to reduce chemical emissions in your home.

Can I use this on ceilings?

Yes, Leadenhall No.118 is formulated to be used on both walls and ceilings for a contemporary look.

How long does it take to dry?

Drying times vary based on humidity and temperature, but typically it is touch-dry within a few hours, with a second coat possible after drying completely.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not covering in one coat

Apply a second coat once the first is thoroughly dry; deep shades often require two coats for full saturation.

Brush or roller marks are visible

Ensure you are not over-working the paint and use a high-quality applicator suitable for premium interior paints.

Color appears different than expected

Test the paint in different lighting conditions at various times of the day; the violet and green undertones react significantly to changing light.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best results with Leadenhall No.118, ensure that all surfaces are clean, dry, and free of dust or grease before application. If you are painting over a drastically different color, apply a high-quality primer to ensure true color payoff. Use high-quality synthetic brushes or a fine-nap roller for an even application. For care, allow the paint to fully cure according to the technical guidelines before attempting to wash the walls. To clean, use a soft, damp cloth with mild soapy water if necessary; avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scouring pads as these can degrade the protective finish.
