Product Information
Full details
The Farrow & Ball Stirabout tester pot is designed for homeowners and interior designers who need to evaluate the Stirabout beige shade in their specific living environment before committing to larger quantities. This 100ml sample offers an excellent way to observe how the pigment reacts to your home's unique natural lighting and surrounding decor. While it is perfect for spot-testing and small areas, note that the sample pot is limited in volume and should only be used for evaluating color and finish rather than large-scale application.

What kind of finish does Stirabout have?
Stirabout generally features the signature Farrow & Ball finish characteristics suitable for standard interior wall applications.
How long does the sample take to dry?
Touch-dry time typically ranges between 1 to 2 hours, though it is best to wait longer to see the true final color.
Do I need a primer for the sample?

Troubleshooting
The paint appears patchy on the test surface.
The surface may be porous or dusty; ensure the area is clean and apply a second coat once the first is dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before applying, shake the tester pot thoroughly to ensure the pigments are well-mixed. Use a high-quality synthetic brush for the smoothest finish. When testing, consider applying the sample next to your existing trim or flooring to confirm color harmony. Keep the pot tightly sealed when not in use to prevent the paint from drying out. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the integrity of the paint for future reference.
