This guide is for DIY enthusiasts and homeowners looking for a durable, easy-to-use, and aesthetically pleasing paint for interior walls and ceilings. The key benefit is its ultra-matte, washable finish that requires minimal preparation due to its self-priming and self-sealing properties. A potential caveat is that the ultra-matte finish might show brushstrokes if not applied carefully, and coverage estimates assume two coats for optimal results. Key features include excellent coverage, a scrubbable finish rated Class 1 Wet Scrub, suitability for various surfaces, and an eco-friendly, low-VOC formulation.

Yes, this paint is suitable for use on wooden furniture, kitchen cupboards, and interior woodwork, providing a durable and attractive finish.
Self-sealing means the paint does not require a separate topcoat to protect the finish, further simplifying the painting process.
The paint is certified EN71-3, making it safe for use on children's toys.
Ensure the surface was properly cleaned and free from grease, dust, or loose paint before application. Re-sanding and re-applying may be necessary.
Apply thin, even coats using a high-quality brush or roller. Maintain a wet edge and avoid overworking the paint. Consider using the matching Trim Paint for woodwork if a perfectly smooth finish is desired.
Lighting conditions and the number of coats applied can affect the final color appearance. Ensure you have applied the recommended two coats and observe the color in natural and artificial light.
Ensure adequate ventilation and maintain a consistent room temperature (ideally between 10-25°C). High humidity or cold conditions can slow drying times.
Ensure the paint has been fully cured for at least 7 days before attempting intensive cleaning. Use only a damp cloth with mild detergent if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Preparation:
Ensure the surface to be painted is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and any loose or flaking material. For previously painted surfaces, a light sanding may be beneficial. As the paint is self-priming, no separate primer is required on most sound surfaces.
Application:
Stir the paint thoroughly before and during use. Apply with a good quality brush or roller. Two coats are recommended for best results, ensuring a uniform colour depth and maximum durability. Allow adequate drying time between coats, typically 2-4 hours, though this can vary depending on environmental conditions.
Compatibility:
This paint is suitable for interior walls and ceilings. It can also be used on wooden furniture, interior woodwork, wooden floors, kitchen cupboards, metal (including powder-coated radiators), interior uPVC, and ceramic wall tiles. Avoid application in very wet areas such as shower enclosures or bath surrounds.
Care and Cleaning:
Once fully cured (allow at least 7 days), the paint is scrubbable and washable. Clean spills and marks promptly with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, a mild detergent can be used, followed by rinsing with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which can damage the finish.
