Full details
Mylands Smithfield No.19 is a premium, warm, mid-neutral grey paint designed for homeowners and decorators looking to achieve a tranquil, sophisticated interior aesthetic. Featuring a subtle lavender undertone, this paint provides a soft, dusty lilac quality that elevates modern living spaces. While it offers a professional-grade, durable finish, it is specifically formulated as an eggshell sheen, meaning those seeking a completely non-reflective or high-gloss appearance may need to consider alternative finishes in the Mylands range.

Troubleshooting
Paint is not adhering to the surface
Ensure the surface was properly cleaned and degreased. If applying to metal or bare wood, ensure an appropriate primer was used first.
Visible brush marks or streaks
Avoid over-working the paint. Use a high-quality synthetic brush and apply in smooth, thin, even strokes in one direction.
Drying too fast during application
Ensure you are working in a moderate temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or high-draft areas while painting to allow for a better leveling of the finish.
