Extra Info

Not recommended for bathrooms, laundries or areas with high humidity. For these areas we recommend using Tint™ Wall, which features anti-mould technology

Our paint is formulated to cover up to 8m² per litre with two coats.

1L: up to 8m² — ideal for feature or part-walls, or trims
4L: up to 32m² — perfect for a standard room
10L: up to 80m² — great for larger spaces or multiple rooms

Quick tip! Measure your total wall area (height × width, minus doors/windows), divide by 8, then round up. Buy a little extra for best results and future touch-ups.

Prep

Bare surfaces:

Clean with warm, soapy water, let dry, then apply at least one coat of Prep Plus

Painted surfaces:

Repair any cracks or holes, clean with warm, soapy water and allow to dry. If painting over an oil-based coating, give the surface a gentle sand and apply at least one coat of Prep Plus

Application

Apply at least two coats with a brush, roller or spray gun. If spraying, dilute with up to 10% water to achieve proper atomisation.

For our flat, matt, or low-sheen paints, we recommend using medium-nap drylon, lambswool or nylon rollers, including our Tint™ Roller Cover.

For semi-gloss paints, you can also use a high-density foam roller cover, including our Tint™ Mini Foam Roller Cover.

We don't recommend using microfibres rollers with our paint. To read more about picking the right paint roller, click here.

Disposal

Sample Stickers

Sample Stickers have a peel-and-stick adhesive back that make it easy to sample without any mess.

The adhesive is specially designed to be moved without damaging your wall, so feel free to stick with abandon.

Sample Stickers are also flexible enough to wrap around corners or other features.

Sample Pouches

Sample Pouches come with 100ml of our Wall paint, enough to paint a 50x50cm patch with two-coats using a brush or roller.

Just like regular paint, if you’re drastically changing colour (e.g. Red -> White) you may need to apply three coats to get full colour coverage.

Or you can apply a coat of Prep Plus first if you have some on hand, but don't stress if you don't — it's not necessary when you're just exploring colours.
