2. PRODUCT

2.1 How can I get a paint pot sample?

Here at Lick, we think that the days of messy and annoying paint pot samples are numbered. Instead, all of our samples come in the form of peel-and-stick patches made with real paint or wallpaper, so that you can move your samples around your room and see them in a different light.

You can order your samples for just £2 each in the UK, with £2 delivery, so start your Lick journey and pick up some samples here.

2.2 How much paint do I need?

Funny you should ask. We’ve created a nifty paint calculator that tells you approximately how much of each paint you will need to cover your space. Simply choose which paint colour you want, choose the texture, and then under the “add paint to cart” button there is a calculator that will tell you how many cans you need based on the size of your space.

2.3 How much wallpaper do I need?

Don’t worry, we haven’t forgotten the wallpaper! Our calculator (located just below the “add to cart” button) will tell you how much wallpaper to order based on the size of your room. Remember, each wallpaper design is different - so do use our calculator to double-check the most appropriate quantity to buy.

2.4 Do I need to apply primer (or anything else) before painting with Lick paint?

Our paint is self-priming and is designed to cover any wall or ceiling in up to two coats. So there is no need for a primer or finisher on those surfaces.

We recommend that you prepare all surfaces appropriately before painting, and if you are painting onto fresh plaster then we advise you to first apply a mist coat at 30% dilution (70% paint, 30% water), to prepare your walls prior to painting. This also goes for any other absorbent surfaces that you may be painting on - for example new, unvarnished woods.

2.5 What surfaces can I use Lick paint on?

Our paint is designed to be used across multiple surfaces within the house, from walls and skirting to boards to doors and ceilings. If you’re worried about whether our paint is appropriate for any particular surface or location, we’ve set out all the possible uses of our paint below.

With appropriate preparations, Lick paint is appropriate for indoor use across the following surfaces:

  • Wood - doors, furniture, trim/skirting, and cornicing
  • Previously painted walls
  • Wallpapered walls
  • Ceilings
  • Metal
  • Brick and mortar
  • Kids, cats, dogs, and hamsters (please don’t)

Our paints are not yet designed to work with lime-based plaster, which requires specialist paint developed for that surface.

2.6 What do I need so I can apply your wallpaper, and how can I do it?

Our wallpaper should be applied with wallpaper adhesive. We’ve put together this super helpful article on the best way to hang wallpaper to help set you up for wallpaper success.
