FAQs
Is this paint suitable for bathrooms?
This paint is designed for general interior use. For high-humidity areas like bathrooms, ensure the space has adequate ventilation.
Do I need a primer?
If you are painting over a clean, matte surface, a primer may not be necessary. However, for new or porous surfaces, a suitable primer is recommended.
How long does it take to dry?
The paint is quick-drying, but full curing can take longer. It is generally touch-dry in a few hours depending on room temperature and humidity.
Can I use this on furniture?
Yes, the durability of the 1829 Eggshell makes it suitable for wooden furniture, provided the surface is properly prepared.
Is Pale Cashmere a bright white?
No, Pale Cashmere is a soft, warm cream shade, not a stark white.
Troubleshooting
Visible brush marks after drying
Ensure you are using a high-quality synthetic brush and apply thin, even coats rather than heavy layers.
Paint not adhering to the surface
Ensure the surface is properly cleaned, degreased, and sanded if it was previously painted with a high-gloss finish.
Uneven finish or color patches
Ensure the paint is stirred thoroughly before use and that the surface is properly primed if it is porous.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, start by cleaning the surface of all dust, grease, and loose material. If painting over glossy surfaces, lightly sand the area to improve mechanical keying. Stir the paint thoroughly before application. Use high-quality synthetic brushes or short-pile rollers for the best finish. After application, clean brushes and tools with warm, soapy water. Keep the container tightly sealed in a cool, dry place when not in use to prevent the paint from drying out.
