FAQs

Can I use this paint on furniture?

Yes, its durable and scuff-resistant nature makes it an excellent choice for interior furniture, particularly wooden items.

Is this paint suitable for outdoor use?

No, this specific formula is designed for interior use only.

How many coats are typically needed?

While it provides great coverage, two coats are generally recommended for a uniform, professional finish.

Can I apply this over an existing oil-based paint?

Yes, but you must ensure the surface is well-sanded and cleaned first to ensure proper adhesion.

Does it have a strong odour?

As a plant-based formula, it is designed to be user-friendly, but always ensure the area is well-ventilated during application.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering well to the surface

Ensure the surface is thoroughly cleaned and degreased. If the surface is glossy, lightly sand it to provide a key for the paint.

Visible brush marks after drying

Ensure you are using a high-quality brush and avoid over-working the paint. Apply in long, even strokes to allow the paint to level itself.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Environmentally friendly plant-based ingredients
  • Highly durable and scuff-resistant for heavy use
  • Professional-grade smooth finish
  • Quick-drying formula speeds up projects
  • Compatible with brushes, rollers, or spray equipment

Cons

  • Best suited for interior applications only

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before application, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free of dust, grease, or loose particles. For previously painted surfaces, a light sanding may improve adhesion. This paint is compatible with standard professional-grade painting tools, including synthetic brushes, short-pile rollers, and HVLP spray equipment. To maintain the finish, simply wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth as needed; the washable nature of the formula ensures that marks are easily removed without damaging the paint film. Store containers in a cool, dry place and ensure the lid is tightly sealed to prevent skinning.
