FAQs

Can I use this paint in a bathroom or kitchen?

This paint is designed for standard interior walls and ceilings. It is not specifically formulated to resist the high humidity or steam found in kitchens and bathrooms.

How many coats are typically required?

Due to its high concentration, one to two coats are usually sufficient depending on the color of the underlying surface.

Is this paint suitable for spraying?

While it is designed for roller and brush application, some professional spray systems may be used if the paint is thinned according to the equipment manufacturer's instructions.

How long does it take to dry?

The paint is quick-drying, typically touch-dry within a few hours, though drying times can vary based on room temperature and humidity.

Can I apply this over oil-based paint?

You should sand the existing oil-based surface thoroughly to create a key for the new paint to adhere to, or use a suitable primer first.

Is the finish wipeable?

It can be lightly wiped with a soft, damp cloth, but it is not a 'scrubbable' paint like some specialized durable emulsions.

Troubleshooting

Visible roller marks after drying

Ensure you are using a good quality roller and maintaining a 'wet edge' by not over-working the paint once it begins to set.

Paint is peeling or flaking shortly after application

This is often due to poor surface preparation; ensure the wall was clean, dry, and free of dust or grease before painting.

Uneven color or 'patchy' appearance

The surface may have been too porous. Apply a primer or a mist coat (watered-down emulsion) to seal the surface before applying the final topcoats.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Delivers a flawless, non-reflective matte finish
  • Excellent opacity and coverage for fewer coats
  • Fast-drying formula helps save time during redecoration
  • Smooth application consistency for a professional look

Cons

  • Matte finish can be harder to clean than silk or satin paints
  • Not suitable for exterior use or high-moisture zones like shower cubicles
  • Requires careful preparation of the surface for optimal adhesion

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before application, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Remove any loose or flaking paint and sand down existing glossy surfaces to improve adhesion. The paint can be applied directly to most interior masonry, plaster, and wallpaper surfaces. For optimal results, ensure the room temperature is above 10°C during application. Clean tools immediately after use with warm, soapy water. To maintain the finish, use a soft, damp cloth for light dusting; avoid abrasive cleaning agents or harsh scrubbing, as this may mar the flat matte finish.
