Product description
040 SANDY – Soft Sandstone is a warm and gentle beige that brings a soft, greyish-beige atmosphere to a space. The shade creates calm and harmony, serving as a backdrop for both modern and classic interiors. 040 SANDY gives walls and ceilings a softly light-reflecting matte surface. This soft beige tone was designed by Laura Seppänen.
This versatile greyish beige pairs perfectly with natural materials such as wood, linen, and rattan. It also works beautifully as a base for white details and softens the contrast of cooler tones. 040 SANDY adds warmth and elegance to a space without ever becoming overpowering.
Cover Story's plastic-free paints are a safe choice for your home walls and ceilings. Praised by professionals, our paint quality and excellent coverage will ensure a beautiful, rich finish to your interior surfaces.
Plastic-free paint does not form a plastic film on the painted surface but allows the structures to breathe. Finally, no environmentally harmful plastics end up in the nature.
Zero-VOC and odorless paint is safe and pleasant to use indoors. Cover Story paints are water-based, which means they do not contain solvents that release harmful volatile organic compounds into the indoor air. There is also no ammonia, formaldehyde or carcinogens in the paint, and therefore it does not smell.
The opaque CS Signature full-matt finish softens the atmosphere of the room and creates a beautiful surface on walls and ceilings that gently reflects light from the summer sun to the winter darkness. Breathable plastic-free paint allows structures to breathe and thus prevents moisture damage such as mould. Thanks to their breathability, Cover Story's interior paints are also ideal for wood and log surfaces.
The excellent quality of the paint guarantees a successful result. The paint's coverage and spreadability, praised by professionals, make painting effortless and give walls and ceilings a beautifully smooth full-matt finish with low light reflectance.
Samples painted with genuine paint make decision-making easy. The A4-sized, peel-and-stick samples help to observe how the shade looks in different lighting conditions and at different times of the day - the quality and quantity of light have a significant impact on how we perceive color. The shade models are made with genuine Cover Story paints, so the shade is guaranteed to be the same as the actual paint.
Technical information – All Cover Story paints are the same price and are sold pre-tinted. All shades are available in 0,9 L / 3,6 L / 9 L cans.
Cover Story paints are full-matt, plastic-free and water-based interior paint. All Cover Story paints are manufactured in Finland.

In most cases, two coats of paint will achieve a perfect finish. Remember to double the area to be painted when calculating the amount of paint.

When painting a previously painted surface, Cover Story paint does not require a separate primer.The paint is suitable for rolling, brushing or spraying.

Do I need a primer?
Priming is usually only necessary for the first treatment of a surface. When painting on top of painted surfaces, no primer is needed with Cover Story paints. Our paints have excellent coverage and in most of the cases you will need only two coats of tinted paint to achieve the perfect smooth finish.
If you are painting a new wall or ceiling for the first time, an old, untreated surface, or if you are changing the color of the wall from very dark to very light, it is a good idea to put a primer under the topcoat. You can conveniently order our plastic-free primer from our online store - look for 000 PRIMER.
Which surfaces is the paint suitable for?
With our plastic-free interior wall and ceiling paints, you can paint unpainted and previously painted paneling, wood, plasterboard and stone surfaces indoors. The paints are also suitable for cardboard, brick and rendered surfaces. Thanks to their excellent breathability, Cover Story paints are also great for interior log surfaces.
