FAQs
Is this paint suitable for exterior doors?
No, this specific formula is designed for interior woodwork and metal surfaces only.
Do I need to sand the surface before painting?
Yes, lightly sanding previously painted surfaces helps improve adhesion and ensures a smoother, more professional finish.
Can I use this on walls?
While it is a multi-surface paint, it is primarily intended for trim, doors, and metal. For walls, consider Mylands emulsion products.
How long does it take to dry?
The paint is quick-drying, but you should always refer to the specific dry times on the product label for recoating windows.
Is the finish shiny?
No, it features an eggshell finish, which has a very low, soft sheen rather than a high-gloss appearance.
Can I clean the paint once it is dry?
Yes, the cured finish is washable, making it suitable for areas that require occasional cleaning with a damp cloth.
Troubleshooting
Paint is not adhering well to the surface.
Ensure the surface was cleaned of all oils and dust, and verify that a proper primer was applied before the topcoat.
Visible brush marks or streaks.
Use a high-quality synthetic brush, ensure you are not overworking the paint, and maintain a 'wet edge' while applying.
Paint is chipping shortly after application.
This is often due to insufficient surface preparation. Sanding the previous layer and using a compatible primer is required for better mechanical bonding.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best results with Marble Arch No.82, preparation is vital. Begin by ensuring the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. If painting over previously painted wood, lightly sand the surface to provide 'tooth' for the paint.
- Priming: Always apply a suitable primer to seal the surface and improve paint adhesion.
- Application: Use high-quality synthetic brushes or rollers designed for eggshell paints to maintain a smooth flow.
- Drying: Allow adequate drying time between coats, following the instructions on the tin to ensure full curing.
- Care: Once fully cured, clean surfaces with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive sponges or harsh chemical cleaners which can dull the eggshell finish.
