FAQs

Can I use this paint on woodwork?

This one-coat emulsion is primarily designed for interior walls and ceilings. For woodwork, a specific wood paint or primer would be more suitable to ensure proper adhesion and a durable finish.

How long does the paint take to dry?

Drying times can vary depending on temperature and humidity. Typically, it is touch-dry within 2-4 hours and recoatable after 4 hours, though a second coat is often not needed.

What is the coverage rate per litre?

The coverage rate is approximately 10-12 square meters per litre, but this can vary depending on the surface texture and absorbency. The 'one coat' claim is based on optimal conditions and typical coverage of previously painted surfaces.

Is this paint washable?

While durable, this emulsion is not designed for high-traffic or high-moisture areas where frequent washing is required. For washable surfaces, consider a more specialized vinyl silk or vinyl matt finish.

Can I mix different colours of LANDLORDS PAINT?

It is generally not recommended to mix different colours or types of paint, as this can affect the paint's performance, finish, and longevity. Always use as intended or follow manufacturer guidelines for mixing.

What kind of finish does this paint provide?

This is an emulsion paint, typically providing a matt or slight sheen finish, designed for walls and ceilings.

Troubleshooting

Paint is too thick or streaky

Ensure the paint is stirred thoroughly. If still too thick, a very small amount of water (max 5% by volume) can be added, though this may slightly compromise one-coat coverage. Ensure you are using a suitable quality roller or brush.

Uneven color after application

This can happen if the paint was applied too thinly or unevenly. Ensure you are applying an even coat. If a second coat is necessary, apply it after the first coat has dried completely.

Paint is not covering imperfections

Ensure the surface was properly prepared and primed if necessary. For significant imperfections, these should be filled and smoothed before painting. A thicker, consistent coat is essential for covering blemishes.

Brush marks are visible

Ensure you are using a good quality brush and applying paint with long, even strokes in a consistent direction. Avoid over-working the paint. Allow the paint to flow and level itself.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Saves time with its one-coat application.
  • Achieves a smooth, professional finish.
  • Hides minor surface imperfections effectively.
  • Reduces mess with its non-drip formula.
  • Easy to apply, suitable for both beginners and experienced painters.

Cons

  • May require a primer on very porous or stained surfaces for optimal results.
  • Color accuracy can vary slightly between batches.
  • Not suitable for high-gloss finishes or areas requiring extreme durability like high-traffic floors.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation:

  1. Ensure the surface to be painted is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and loose material.
  2. Lightly sand any glossy surfaces to improve adhesion.
  3. Fill any significant cracks or holes with appropriate filler and allow to dry.
  4. For best results on new plaster or previously unpainted surfaces, apply a suitable primer.

Application:

  1. Stir the paint thoroughly before use.
  2. Apply using a brush or roller. For a smooth, even finish, use long, even strokes.
  3. Avoid applying in excessively thick coats, as this may affect drying times and finish.

Compatibility:

This emulsion is suitable for interior walls and ceilings. It is compatible with most standard paint rollers, brushes, and spray equipment. Always test on an inconspicuous area first if unsure.

Care:

  • Keep the container tightly closed when not in use.
  • Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and frost.
  • Clean brushes and equipment with water immediately after use.
