FAQs
Is this paint suitable for exterior use?
No, Craig & Rose 1829 Eggshell is strictly formulated for interior applications.
Do I need a primer?
While it can be applied directly to many surfaces, a primer is recommended for raw wood, metal, or surfaces with significant color changes.
How long should I wait between coats?
Due to its quick-drying formula, you should generally wait for the manufacturer-recommended time (typically 2-4 hours), though this can vary based on room humidity and temperature.
Can I use this on radiators?
This paint is designed for standard interior surfaces. Check your radiator manufacturer's guidelines regarding heat-resistant paint requirements.
How do I clean my brushes after use?
Clean brushes thoroughly with warm, soapy water immediately after you finish painting.
Does this paint have a strong smell?
The low VOC formulation helps reduce the odor compared to traditional solvent-based paints, but proper ventilation is still recommended during application.
Troubleshooting
Paint is showing brush marks
Ensure you are using a high-quality synthetic brush and avoid over-working the paint once it begins to set.
Uneven finish or patches
Apply an additional thin coat to build opacity, ensuring the previous layer is completely dry before proceeding.
Poor adhesion to surface
Confirm the surface was thoroughly sanded and degreased before application; use a compatible primer if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before application, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free of grease or loose paint. If painting over glossy surfaces, lightly sand with fine-grit sandpaper to improve adhesion. For raw wood or metal, apply an appropriate primer first. When cleaning brushes after use, use warm soapy water for immediate cleanup while the paint is still wet. Store the tin in a cool, dry place and ensure the lid is tightly sealed to prevent the paint from skinning.
