When to use this guide

Best for occupied homes where you want a smooth matt finish, minimal smell, and easy touch-ups between full repaints.

Preparation checklist

Good prep saves time and helps colour look even on the wall.

  • Move furniture to the centre and cover with plastic sheets.
  • Fill cracks and sand glossy areas until dull.
  • Wipe walls with a damp cloth and allow to dry fully.
  • Apply primer on new patches or when changing from dark to light colours.

Application tips

Cut in edges with a brush first, then roll the main wall area in a W pattern. Two thin coats beat one heavy coat for interior emulsions.
