FAQs
What finish does this paint have?
This paint has an eggshell finish, which offers a soft, low sheen that is more durable and washable than matte finishes.
Is Woven Burlap suitable for a kitchen?
Yes, the eggshell finish is wipeable and resistant to moisture, making it a practical choice for kitchens, though adequate ventilation is still recommended.
How many coats are typically needed?
For best results and full color depth, two coats are generally recommended, allowing adequate drying time between coats.
Can I use this paint on wood?
This paint is primarily designed for interior walls and ceilings. For wood surfaces, specialized primers and paints are usually recommended for proper adhesion and durability.
What colors does Woven Burlap pair well with?
Woven Burlap pairs well with a range of colors, including deeper browns, warm off-whites, natural wood tones, and metallic accents like brushed brass or matte black.
How do I clean the painted surface?
You can clean the surface with a soft, damp cloth for light marks. For tougher stains, use a mild detergent solution, wipe gently, and then dry the area.
Troubleshooting
Uneven color application
Ensure paint is thoroughly stirred before and during use. Apply in consistent, even coats, avoiding over-brushing or over-rolling. Check for surface imperfections that may affect absorption.
Paint not adhering well
Verify that the surface was properly cleaned and prepared (free of dust, grease, and previous loose paint). Use an appropriate primer if applying to a new or non-porous surface.
Color appears different than expected
Light conditions significantly impact color perception. Test a sample patch in the intended room and observe it at different times of day. Ensure you are using the correct paint color (Woven Burlap) as specified.
Visible brush strokes or roller marks
Use high-quality brushes and rollers. Apply paint with consistent direction. Avoid applying too much pressure, and maintain a wet edge to blend subsequent strokes seamlessly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and flaking paint. Lightly sand glossy surfaces and wipe clean. Fill any cracks or holes with appropriate filler and allow to dry.
Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply evenly with a brush or roller. For best results, apply two coats, allowing the first coat to dry completely according to the manufacturer's instructions (typically 2-4 hours).
Compatibility: Suitable for interior walls and ceilings. Use a suitable primer for new or previously painted surfaces for optimal adhesion and coverage. Not recommended for use on floors or exterior surfaces.
Care: The eggshell finish is durable and washable. Clean mild dirt and marks by wiping gently with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild detergent solution and wipe clean with a damp cloth, then dry the surface.
