FAQs

Can I use this on outdoor furniture?

No, this specific eggshell paint is formulated for interior use only.

Do I absolutely need a primer?

While it can be applied directly to some surfaces, using the recommended Mylands Pink Primer and Undercoat is strongly suggested to ensure durability and a flawless finish.

Is this paint oil-based or water-based?

This is a modern, quick-drying formula designed for ease of use and professional results.

How should I clean the painted surface?

Once fully cured, the surface is washable. Use a soft cloth dampened with mild soapy water if necessary.

Can this be used on radiators?

This product is designed for woodwork and metal, but ensure the radiator is completely cool before application and check if your specific radiator type requires specialized heat-resistant paint.

Troubleshooting

Paint not adhering well to the surface

Ensure the surface was sanded and properly cleaned. Apply the recommended Mylands Pink Primer and Undercoat.

Visible brush marks or uneven texture

Avoid over-brushing the paint. Use a high-quality synthetic brush and apply thin, even coats, allowing sufficient drying time between applications.

Paint finish appears too dull or too shiny

Ensure the surface was primed correctly. Eggshell finish sheen is dependent on a smooth, uniform surface beneath the paint layer.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best results, start by ensuring all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. We highly recommend using the Mylands Pink Primer and Undercoat before applying the eggshell finish; this step is crucial for evening out the substrate and improving long-term adhesion. For application, use a high-quality synthetic brush or roller designed for eggshell paints. After the final coat has fully cured, the surface can be wiped clean with a soft, damp cloth. Always keep the container tightly sealed in a cool, dry environment when not in use to preserve the paint consistency.
