Full details
Mylands Shoreditch No.15 is a sophisticated, rich grey-green paint ideal for homeowners looking to elevate interior woodwork, trim, and metal surfaces with a professional-grade finish. This warm, archive-inspired shade excels in slightly darker spaces due to its unique blue, yellow, and red undertones, offering a durable, scuff-resistant, and washable surface. While it provides a smooth, quick-drying aesthetic, users should note that optimal results depend on using a dedicated Light Grey Primer and Undercoat before application.

FAQs
Can I use this paint on walls?
No, this is a multi-surface eggshell specifically formulated for wood and metal. For walls, please use the Mylands Marble Matt Emulsion.
Do I really need a primer?
Yes, using the recommended Light Grey Primer and Undercoat ensures the color appears as intended and improves overall adhesion.
Is this paint water-based or oil-based?
Mylands paints generally feature modern water-based formulations that are quick-drying and low-odor.
How many coats should I apply?
Two coats are generally recommended for full coverage and color depth over a correctly primed surface.
How should I clean my brushes?
As this is a professional-grade paint, clean brushes thoroughly with warm soapy water immediately after use.
Is Shoreditch No.15 suitable for kitchens?
Yes, its scuff-resistant and washable properties make it a great choice for kitchen cabinets or wooden trim.
Troubleshooting
Visible brush marks after drying
Ensure you are using a high-quality synthetic brush and avoid over-working the paint as it begins to set.
Colour looks different than expected
Verify that a Light Grey Primer was used; the primer acts as a neutral base that prevents the substrate color from shifting the grey-green hue.
Paint is peeling or not sticking
Ensure the previous surface was properly degreased and sanded to provide a mechanical key for the new paint layer.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the professional finish expected from Mylands, ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease.
- Preparation: Lightly sand existing glossy surfaces to ensure adhesion. Wipe away dust with a damp cloth.
- Priming: Apply one coat of Light Grey Primer and Undercoat. This is essential to bring out the true depth of the Shoreditch No.15 color.
- Application: Apply the eggshell paint using a brush or roller. The paint is quick-drying, so work in manageable sections to avoid visible lap marks.
- Maintenance: While the finish is washable, use a soft cloth and mild soap for cleaning. Avoid abrasive chemicals that could compromise the sheen level.
