Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: What makes Silk finish different from Matt or Soft Sheen?
A:

Silk has a glossy, reflective finish that enhances natural and artificial light, making spaces feel more open.
Matt is non-reflective and ideal for hiding imperfections.
Soft Sheen offers a satin-like effect that strikes a balance between the two.

Q: Can I use this paint in bathrooms or kitchens?
A: While silk is more resistant to moisture than matt finishes, it is recommended for dry or moderately humid areas. For high-moisture environments, consider using a paint specifically designed for bathrooms or kitchens.

Q: How many coats should I apply?
A: Typically, two coats are recommended to achieve full, even coverage, especially when painting over a darker base.

Q: Can I use this over previously painted surfaces?
A: Yes, ensure the existing paint is clean, dry, and well-prepared. Light sanding and cleaning may be necessary for optimal adhesion.
