Product Information

Full details

Mylands Bridge Blue No.222 is a sophisticated, light blue paint with grey undertones, designed for homeowners and professionals looking to refresh interior woodwork, trim, and metal surfaces. Its key benefit lies in its highly durable, scuff-resistant eggshell finish that balances elegance with practicality. While it offers a professional-grade aesthetic, users should note that as an eggshell finish, it is specifically optimized for surfaces like doors and skirting boards rather than large, high-traffic wall areas which might require a different sheen level.

FAQs

Can I use Bridge Blue No.222 on radiators?

While it is a multi-surface paint, ensure the radiator is turned off and completely cold during application and curing.

Is this paint suitable for bathroom woodwork?

Yes, its durable finish is resistant to moisture, making it suitable for bathroom doors and skirting, provided the area is well-ventilated.

Does this paint require a primer?

On bare wood, a suitable primer is always recommended for the best color longevity and finish.

How long does it take to dry?

The paint is quick-drying, but we recommend waiting at least 4 hours between coats for optimal performance.

Is this paint washable?

Yes, the eggshell finish is designed to be easily wiped clean with a damp cloth.

Troubleshooting

Paint is showing brush marks

Ensure you are using a high-quality synthetic brush and avoid over-working the paint as it begins to dry.

Finish appears uneven or patchy

Check that the surface was properly primed or sanded; apply a second coat once the first is completely dry.

Paint is not adhering to metal surfaces

Ensure the metal is completely clean and free of rust; use an appropriate metal primer before applying the eggshell paint.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before application, ensure the substrate is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. If painting over previously glossed woodwork, a light sanding is recommended to improve mechanical adhesion. Stir the paint thoroughly before use to ensure the pigments are properly distributed. For care, simply wipe surfaces down with a soft, damp cloth; the washability of the finish allows for periodic cleaning without stripping the color. Store the container in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly sealed to prevent skinning.
