2 to 3 coats, which can vary depending on surface type.

Up to 150 m², which can vary depending on surface type.
How do I dilute this paint before applying?
Dilution up to 20%: 5 parts paint to 1 part potable water, mixed with a plastic, metal or wood spatula.

Does Decora Matte have a strong smell?
