FAQs

Coverage depends on the surface and application method. A 750ml tin should cover a reasonable area, but it's best to measure your cabinets and calculate accordingly. Always buy extra in case of accidents.
Can I use this paint on other surfaces?
This paint is specifically designed for kitchen cupboards. It's recommended to test on a small, inconspicuous area first.
How do I clean the painted surface?
Wipe with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution.
Do I need to sand before painting?

What is the drying time?
Allow sufficient time for drying before applying the second coat, usually a few hours, follow the manufacturer's recommendations.
Is this paint environmentally friendly?

Can I spray this paint?
