FAQ
- Does it include the ceiling?
- Only when the ceiling box is ticked. Walls are included either way, minus the openings you enter.
- What is coverage?
- How many square metres one litre covers. The default is 12. Use the number on the tin if it differs.
- Should I buy the exact litres?
- Paint is sold in tins, and cuts waste some. Round up to the next tin rather than buying the exact decimal.
