Product Information

Full details

The Craig & Rose Papyrus paint is an ideal choice for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking to infuse their interior spaces with a rich, golden warmth inspired by ancient Egyptian sun-soaked aesthetics. This chalky emulsion offers a classic, velvety matt finish that excels at concealing wall imperfections while providing intense depth of color; however, it requires the application of a protective wax or varnish if you intend to use it on furniture to ensure long-term durability.

FAQs

Can I use this paint in a bathroom?

This paint is designed for interior walls and ceilings. While it has enhanced wash resistance, it is not specifically formulated as a high-moisture bathroom paint.

How many coats are required?

For optimal results and color consistency, you should apply two full coats.

What is the drying time?

The paint is surface dry in 1-2 hours and you should wait 4 hours before applying the second coat.

Can this be used on furniture?

Yes, but you must finish the piece with a protective wax or varnish to ensure durability.

Do I need a primer for walls?

General interior walls typically do not require a primer unless they are new or previously unpainted plaster, in which case a primer undercoat is necessary.

What kind of finish does it leave?

It provides a true, low-sheen chalky matt finish with a soft, velvety texture.

Troubleshooting

The paint looks streaky or uneven after the first coat.

This is normal for chalky emulsions. Ensure you apply a second coat after the recommended 4-hour drying period for full coverage and color depth.

Paint is absorbing too quickly into fresh plaster.

Dilute the paint with 5-10% clean water to counteract high suction or apply a dedicated primer undercoat before painting.

Surface marks or scuffs appearing on painted furniture.

Ensure that you have applied a protective wax or varnish as recommended for non-wall applications.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Rich, golden color with historical aesthetic appeal
  • Soft, velvety matt finish hides surface flaws well
  • Enhanced wash and rub resistance for longevity
  • Suitable for both architectural elements and furniture projects
  • Part of a curated, high-quality historical archive collection

Cons

  • Furniture applications require additional protective topcoats
  • New plaster surfaces demand a specific priming step
  • Limited to interior use only
  • Requires two full coats for best results

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best results, ensure your surfaces are clean and dry before application. For new plaster, you must prime the surface with a suitable product, such as the Craig & Rose Primer Undercoat, to prevent uneven absorption. If you find the paint is too thick when applying directly to plaster, you can thin it slightly with 5-10% clean water. Always apply two coats using a high-quality brush or roller for uniform depth. For furniture, ensure the paint is fully cured before applying a final protective layer. Store in a cool, dry place and keep the lid sealed tightly between uses to maintain product integrity.
