Choose 3L or 10L

This listing offers 3L and 10L options. Confirm your required colour before ordering. The old description referred to Cumulus Y354 and a 1L pack; these should not be assumed to describe every option on this page. Assess your colour using a suitable physical sample in your own lighting.

Suitable interior projects

The supplied information describes use on new and previously painted interior walls and ceilings in homes, offices, schools and hotels. Check the current technical data sheet for your precise substrate, existing coating and preparation requirements. Do not assume scrub resistance makes a paint suitable for direct water exposure or persistently damp areas.

Preparation and application

Make sure surfaces are sound, clean and dry. Repair cracks and damaged areas, remove dust and prepare existing coatings as directed. Use the manufacturer's recommended primer where required. Paint does not repair an uneven substrate or resolve an underlying moisture problem.

Apply the recommended coats with suitable tools, observing current temperature, humidity and ventilation requirements. Follow the technical data sheet for any thinning or spray settings rather than treating all application methods alike.

Coverage, drying and care

Use the current manufacturer's coverage guidance, surface porosity and required coats to estimate quantities. The supplied listing gives an indicative four-hour recoat time, but drying depends on conditions. Check the current instructions before recoating.

Allow the coating to develop its specified properties before washing. Follow the manufacturer's cleaning guidance: Class 1 scrub resistance is not a promise that every stain will lift or that abrasive cleaning cannot damage the finish.
