Crown Crafted Luxurious Flat Matt Paint - Ivy Grey - 2.5L

Typically, two coats will provide optimal coverage and a flawless finish. However, if painting over a very dark or uneven surface, a third coat may be beneficial. Always allow adequate drying time between coats.

This paint is specifically formulated for interior walls and interior wood surfaces, such as skirting boards, doors, and window frames.

While it's a durable paint, it's generally not recommended for high-moisture areas like inside shower enclosures or around sinks where extreme humidity and water exposure are constant. For these areas, a paint specifically formulated for high-humidity environments would be more suitable.

Clean all painting tools immediately after use with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly until all paint residue is removed, then allow them to air dry.

The Breatheasy® formula indicates that the paint has low VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) content, resulting in significantly reduced odor compared to traditional paints. This makes for a more comfortable painting experience and is better for indoor air quality.

Info needed: Typical coverage for this specific product, usually stated in square meters per liter. As a general guide, 2.5L of paint can often cover approximately 25-30 square meters with one coat, but this can vary depending on surface porosity and application method.

For best results, this paint is designed to be used undiluted. However, for priming new or very porous surfaces, a small amount of water (up to 10%) can be added for the first coat to aid penetration.

Ensure surfaces are properly cleaned and prepped. Apply paint in even, consistent coats, avoiding over-brushing or over-rolling. Allow adequate drying time between coats. Use good quality painting tools.

Stir the paint thoroughly before and during use to ensure pigments are well mixed. Ensure the surface is suitably primed, especially if painting over a contrasting or porous substrate. Apply additional thin, even coats as needed, allowing each to dry completely.

This often indicates poor surface preparation. Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose paint or dust before application. Adhesion is improved by priming porous or glossy surfaces. Address any underlying moisture issues.

Apply paint evenly and avoid excessive pressure. Use the correct type and size of brush or roller for the surface. Avoid going back over paint that has already started to dry. Ensure proper loading of the tool.

Ensure good ventilation in the area, as this aids drying. Avoid painting in high humidity or very cold conditions. Apply paint in thin, even coats rather than thick layers.
