FAQs
Can I use this paint on furniture?
Yes, as a multi-surface eggshell, it is well-suited for wooden furniture that requires a durable and washable finish.
Is this paint suitable for bathrooms?
While it is durable, this formula is intended for interior trim and wood. For high-humidity areas, ensure the room is well-ventilated.
How many coats should I apply?
For best results, we recommend two full coats to ensure even coverage and the intended depth of color.
Does it need a primer?
If you are painting over raw wood or metal, a suitable primer is recommended to ensure the best adhesion and longevity.
What is the sheen level of this paint?
This is an eggshell finish, which provides a low-sheen, subtle luster that is less reflective than gloss but more durable than flat paint.
Can this be used on radiators?
Yes, it is suitable for metal surfaces, though ensure the radiator is turned off and completely cool before application.
Troubleshooting
Paint is peeling or flaking shortly after application.
This is often due to poor surface preparation; ensure the substrate was clean, dry, and lightly sanded before painting.
Visible brush marks in the final finish.
Avoid overworking the paint; use a high-quality synthetic brush and maintain a wet edge during application.
Paint drying too fast during application.
Try painting in smaller sections or lower temperatures, avoiding direct sunlight or high-heat areas during the painting process.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best results, start by cleaning the surface to remove grease, dust, and loose particles. For previously painted surfaces, sand lightly to provide a key for the new paint to adhere to. Always ensure the surface is completely dry before application. Use a high-quality brush or roller suitable for eggshell paints to maintain the smooth finish. For care, avoid using abrasive cleaning agents; a soft cloth with mild soapy water is sufficient to remove marks or dirt. Store the tin in a cool, dry place and ensure the lid is tightly sealed to maintain the integrity of the remaining paint for future touch-ups.
