FAQs

Can I use this paint on exterior surfaces?

No, this product is specifically formulated for interior use.

Is this paint suitable for kitchen cabinets?

Yes, its durable nature makes it suitable for kitchen cabinets, provided the surface is properly cleaned and primed first.

Does the cream color require multiple coats?

While the coverage is excellent, two coats are generally recommended to achieve true color depth and maximum durability.

How long should I wait between coats?

Thanks to the quick-drying formula, most projects can be recoated within a few hours, but check the tin for specific environmental temperature guidance.

Do I need a special primer?

Use a standard, high-quality wood or metal primer depending on the substrate to ensure the best possible adhesion.

Troubleshooting

Visible brush marks after drying

The paint dries very quickly; work in smaller sections and use a quality synthetic brush to maintain a wet edge.

Peeling or poor adhesion

Ensure the surface was free of grease and loose debris, and that a compatible primer was used on bare substrates.

Uneven sheen or patchy finish

Stir the paint thoroughly before and periodically during application, and ensure consistent thickness is applied across the entire surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best results, start with a clean, dry, and dust-free surface. If painting over raw wood or metal, ensure a high-quality primer is applied first to promote adhesion. Stir the paint thoroughly before use to ensure the pigments are properly suspended. Apply using a high-quality synthetic brush or a short-pile mohair roller for the smoothest finish.

For care, allow the paint to fully cure according to the recommended drying times before subjecting it to heavy use. Surfaces can be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can dull the eggshell finish over time.
