FAQs
Can I use this on exterior doors?
No, this specific product is formulated for interior use only.
Does this paint require a primer?
While it has excellent coverage, we recommend a primer on new or porous surfaces to ensure the best durability and color consistency.
How long does it take to dry?
It is a quick-drying formula, typically touch-dry within a few hours, though we recommend waiting the full recoat time indicated on the tin.
Is the Pullman Green finish matte or glossy?
It features an eggshell finish, which provides a soft, low-sheen luster—more than matte but significantly less than silk or gloss.
Can I use a roller for application?
Yes, a short-pile mohair or foam roller is excellent for flat surfaces, while a brush is best for detail work.
How do I clean my brushes after use?
Clean brushes thoroughly with warm soapy water immediately after use.
Troubleshooting
Paint appears patchy or streaky after the first coat
This is common with deep pigments; ensure you are using a high-quality brush and apply a second, even coat once the first is completely dry.
Paint is drying too fast, leaving visible brush marks
Work in smaller sections and avoid over-working the paint once it begins to tack up.
Poor adhesion on metal surfaces
Ensure the metal surface is properly cleaned and treated with an appropriate metal primer before applying the eggshell paint.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Ensure that all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from grease or dust before beginning. For previously painted surfaces, lightly sand the area to provide a key for adhesion. The 2.5L tin is sufficient for standard medium-sized interior projects. To maintain the finish, simply wipe down surfaces with a damp, soft cloth; avoid harsh chemical cleaners which can dull the eggshell sheen over time. Always store the tin in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly sealed to prevent skinning.
