FAQs

How much paint will I need?

Coverage varies, but typically one liter covers approximately 10-12 square meters. Calculate the surface area you need to paint and consider applying two coats.

Can I use this paint in a bathroom or kitchen?

While suitable for interior walls and ceilings, avoid areas with excessive moisture or direct water contact. For bathrooms and kitchens, consider a paint specifically designed for those environments.

How do I prepare the surface before painting?

Clean the surface, remove any loose paint or wallpaper, fill cracks or holes, and sand any uneven areas. Priming is recommended, especially for unpainted surfaces or when changing colors significantly.

How many coats of paint should I apply?

For best results, apply two coats. This ensures even coverage and color depth.

What kind of brush or roller should I use?

Use a good quality brush or roller suitable for water-based paints. A roller with a short to medium nap is generally recommended for walls and ceilings.

How long does the paint take to dry?

Drying time varies, but typically it takes 2-4 hours. Refer to the paint can for specific instructions.

How do I store leftover paint?

Seal the can tightly and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

Is this paint washable?

Yes, once fully dried, the paint is washable, making it easy to clean marks and spills.

Troubleshooting

Uneven finish or streaks after painting.

Ensure paint is stirred thoroughly before use. Apply even coats and avoid over-brushing. Use a good quality brush or roller.

Paint color appears different than expected.

Allow the paint to fully dry to see the true color. Consider lighting conditions as they can affect the appearance. Apply a second coat if necessary.
