What is Water-Based Eco Acrylic Paint?
Hemway Interior Acrylic Water-Based Eco Paint is water-based, quick-drying, and highly durable. It resists fading, cracking, and weathering, making it versatile for all kinds of applications. In contrast, oil-based paints often emit strong odours and yellow over time. However, our eco-friendly paint is designed to maintain its beauty and flexibility for longer periods while being better for the environment.
Preparation
How to prepare surfaces for Hemway Interior Acrylic Water-Based Eco Paint
To prepare walls and ceilings for premium acrylic paint, follow these steps to ensure the surface is clean, smooth, and ready for painting:
-
Clean the Surface:
-
Dust and dirt: Use a vacuum or dry cloth to remove dust, cobwebs, and dirt. Any debris will interfere with paint adhesion.
-
Grease or stains: Wash walls with a mixture of water and mild detergent, especially in kitchens. Use a degreaser for tougher spots.
-
Mould or mildew: Clean with a solution of one part bleach to three parts water. Then, rinse thoroughly with clean water.
-
Repair the Surface:
-
Fill holes and cracks: Use a high-quality filler or spackling paste to repair any imperfections. Once dry, sand until smooth.
-
Fix water damage: Identify and repair leaks, and treat water-stained areas before painting.
-
Sand the Surface:
- Lightly sand walls and ceilings to remove rough patches or uneven surfaces. For glossy surfaces, use fine-grit sandpaper to “scuff” it up for better adhesion.
-
Prime the Surface:
- Apply a suitable primer, especially on porous surfaces or when painting over a darker colour. For previously painted surfaces, a latex-based primer works well with acrylic paint.
- Let the primer dry completely before applying the topcoat.
-
Ensure a Smooth Finish:
- After the primer dries, inspect the surface for imperfections, sanding lightly if needed, and wiping away any dust.
-
Protect and Prepare the Room:
- Cover floors, furniture, and fixtures with drop cloths or plastic sheets. Use painter’s tape for trim, windows, and doors for sharp, clean edges.

Best practices for applying Hemway Interior Acrylic Water-Based Eco Paint
