This Johnstone's Trade Eggshell Paint in Brilliant White is designed for DIYers and professional painters seeking a durable, high-opacity finish for interior surfaces. Its key benefit is excellent coverage, reducing the number of coats needed. A potential caveat is that it's a solvent-based formulation, requiring specific ventilation and cleanup procedures. This hardwearing eggshell offers excellent opacity and coverage for a smooth, lasting finish.

While durable, this eggshell is not specifically formulated for high-moisture environments. For bathrooms and kitchens, consider a specialized kitchen and bathroom paint for enhanced moisture and mold resistance.
Touch dry in 4-6 hours, recoatable in 16-24 hours. Full cure can take up to 7 days.
No, this product is designed for interior use only. Exterior paints have different formulations to withstand weather conditions.
Clean brushes immediately after use with white spirit or a suitable paint solvent, followed by a wash with soap and water.
Yes, Johnstone's Trade Eggshell is available in a range of colors, including black. This specific product is for Brilliant White.
Eggshell has a low sheen, typically between 5-15% gloss units, providing a soft, subtle finish.
Stir the paint thoroughly. If necessary, thin slightly with white spirit according to manufacturer recommendations for application method (brush, roller, spray).
Ensure even application with consistent pressure. Apply in thin, even coats rather than one thick coat. Use a high-quality brush or roller appropriate for solvent-based paints.
Ensure the surface was properly prepared and primed if necessary. Apply additional thin coats rather than trying to achieve full coverage in one go. Ensure the paint has not dried out in the tin.
Ensure adequate ventilation in the room during and after application. The odor will dissipate over time as the paint fully cures.
Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and loose paint. Fill any cracks or holes and sand smooth. Prime bare wood or metal surfaces with an appropriate solvent-based primer. For previously painted surfaces, a mist coat may be beneficial for optimal adhesion.
Compatibility: This paint is suitable for use on interior walls, ceilings, wood, and metal. It is generally compatible with most standard primers and undercoats. Ensure it is applied to a properly prepared surface for best results.
Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply using a good quality brush or roller. For spraying, thin slightly with white spirit if necessary and follow manufacturer guidelines for spray equipment. Apply in thin, even coats, allowing adequate drying time between coats.
Care and Cleaning: Allow the paint to cure fully (typically 7 days) before heavy cleaning. For general maintenance, wipe clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive scrubbing. Cleanup of brushes and equipment should be done immediately after use with white spirit or a suitable solvent.
