Is this paint suitable for bathrooms and kitchens?

Absolutely. The washable and moisture-resistant properties make it ideal for high-traffic, humid areas like bathrooms and kitchens.

How many coats of paint do I need?

For best results and full colour depth, two coats are typically recommended. Coverage may vary depending on the surface and colour.

What is the drying time between coats?

Drying time is approximately 2-4 hours between coats, but this can vary depending on temperature and humidity levels.

Can I paint furniture with this eggshell paint?

Once fully cured, clean gently with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Can this paint be used outdoors?

Yes, the paint is formulated for both interior and exterior use.

Troubleshooting

Paint not adhering well

Ensure the surface is properly prepared, clean, dry, and free from contaminants. Lightly sand glossy surfaces to create a key. Use an appropriate primer if painting bare wood or metal.

Uneven finish or brush marks visible

Ensure paint is thoroughly stirred. Apply thin, even coats using a high-quality brush or roller. Avoid overworking the paint. Allow sufficient drying time between coats.

Colour appears different from expected

Colours can vary slightly under different lighting conditions due to the satin sheen. View the painted surface under various light sources. Ensure adequate coats have been applied for full colour depth.

Paint is too thick to apply

Stir the paint thoroughly. If necessary, a very small amount of water can be added to aid application, but avoid over-thinning as this can affect the finish and durability.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Apply with a good quality brush or roller. For best results, apply two coats. Allow adequate drying time between coats, typically 2-4 hours, depending on environmental conditions. This paint is suitable for interior and exterior use.
