It Grips Without Sanding

On previously painted or varnished wood, scuffing with an abrasive pad is enough. Full sanding is only needed if the old finish is flaking.

Two Coats in One Day

About an hour between coats at room temperature. A piece started in the morning is back together by evening.

Water-Based, from Start to Finish

Brushes, rollers and spills clean up with warm water. No solvents, and almost no odour after a few hours.

How Much Paint for Your Surface?

Coverage depends first on what you’re painting. Here’s what one litre covers in practice, depending on the surface and how it’s prepared.

  • Bare Wood

    Coverage
    9 m² per litre
    Coats
    2 coats
    Preparation
    Sand with 180 grit, dust off, prime tannin-rich woods.

    Bare wood soaks up the first coat. Plan on two coats and lower coverage than on other surfaces.

  • Previously Painted or Varnished Wood

    Coverage
    12 m² per litre
    Coats
    2 coats
    Preparation
    Degrease, scuff with an abrasive pad, wipe dry.

    On a surface that’s already sealed, the paint stays on top: that’s where coverage is at its best.

  • Interior Walls

    Coverage
    11 m² per litre
    Coats
    2 coats
    Preparation
    Wash, fill, let dry completely.

    A matte wall repainted in a similar tone may need only one coat.

  • Melamine, Laminate and Metal

    Coverage
    10 m² per litre
    Coats
    2 coats
    Preparation
    Degrease with alcohol, then a bonding primer — no exceptions.

    It’s the one step you can’t skip: without a bonding primer, the paint chips at the first knock.

An estimate. Porous, textured or strongly contrasting surfaces absorb more — buy a little over rather than risk a second batch in a different tint lot.

Before you start

The Questions We Get Asked

  • Do I need to sand before painting?

    Rarely. On previously painted or varnished wood, scuffing with an abrasive pad is enough to open up the surface. Full sanding is only needed if the old finish is blistering or flaking.

  • How many coats should I plan for?

    Two, in the vast majority of cases. One is enough to refresh a similar shade; plan on three when a dark blue or red has to disappear under a white.

  • Is a primer necessary?

    On wood, plaster and drywall, no. On melamine, laminate and metal, yes: a bonding primer, otherwise nothing holds for long.

  • Can a painted surface be washed?

    Once protected with wax or varnish, yes: a damp cloth and mild soap. Chalk paint left bare stays porous and stains.

  • How long should I wait between coats?

    About an hour at room temperature. Wait longer if the air is humid: the coat must be dry all the way through, not just to the touch.
