FAQs

Can I use this paint on metal surfaces?

Yes, Mylands Smithfield 19 Eggshell is formulated for interior metal surfaces as well as wood and trim.

Is this paint washable?

Yes, the durable formula is designed to be washable, making it excellent for high-traffic areas like hallways and kitchens.

What is the finish sheen like?

It features an eggshell finish, which provides a soft, low-lustre sheen that is more durable than matte but less shiny than gloss.

Do I need a primer?

If you are painting over raw wood or very glossy surfaces, a primer is recommended to improve adhesion and finish quality.

How do I clean my brushes after use?

Since this is a high-quality interior paint, clean your brushes according to the specific solvent requirements listed on the paint tin label.

Is this suitable for external use?

No, this product is specifically designed for interior woodwork and metal surfaces.

Troubleshooting

Visible brush marks after drying

Ensure you are using a high-quality synthetic brush and applying in thin, even strokes rather than overworking the wet paint.

Paint not sticking to surface

Check that the surface was properly cleaned and sanded beforehand. If applying over old glossy oil paint, use a primer to ensure better adhesion.

Drying takes longer than expected

High humidity or low temperatures can slow down curing time. Ensure proper ventilation and consistent room temperature during the drying phase.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure a professional finish, surfaces must be clean, dry, and free from dust or grease before painting. If painting over previously glossed surfaces, a light sanding is recommended to improve mechanical adhesion. The product is compatible with brushes, rollers, and spray equipment; when using a brush, opt for a high-quality synthetic filament to minimize streaks. For care, avoid harsh abrasive cleaners. A damp cloth or a mild, non-abrasive detergent is sufficient to keep surfaces looking fresh. Always store the tin in a cool, dry place and ensure the lid is tightly sealed to maintain paint integrity between sessions.
