Can I use this paint in a bathroom?
Yes, it can be used in bathrooms. However, ensure the area is well-ventilated, and consider the moisture levels.
What kind of roller or brush should I use?
Use a good quality brush or roller designed for water-based paints. A short-nap roller is generally recommended for a smooth finish.

What is the shelf life of this paint?
Unopened, the paint has a good shelf life. Store the tin in a cool, dry place and reseal tightly after use.
Troubleshooting
Paint is not adhering properly.
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and properly prepared. Lightly sand glossy surfaces to improve adhesion. Consider using a primer.
Uneven finish or brush marks.
Apply the paint evenly using a good quality brush or roller. Avoid over-brushing. Apply two thin coats rather than one thick coat.
Paint appears to be peeling.
Ensure the surface is completely dry before painting. Check for any underlying issues like moisture or poor surface preparation.
