Farrow & Ball Stone Blue Eggshell Paint - No. 86

It is suitable for interior wood, metal, and concrete. This includes floors, skirting boards, doors, kitchen cabinets, furniture, and radiators.

While durable and washable, this Modern Eggshell is not specifically formulated for high-humidity areas like bathrooms. For kitchens, it performs well on cabinets and woodwork but may not be ideal for walls prone to constant steam.

After the paint has fully cured (2-3 weeks), clean using a soft cloth dampened with water and a small amount of mild soap. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Modern Eggshell has a low sheen, typically around 40-50%, offering a soft, elegant finish that is less reflective than gloss but more durable and washable than matt finishes.

Generally, two coats are recommended for full coverage and durability. However, this can vary depending on the surface and the colour being covered. For dark colours or significant colour changes, three coats might be necessary.

The drying time is typically 2-4 hours, but this can be affected by temperature and humidity. Ensure the surface is dry to the touch before applying the next coat.

No, Farrow & Ball Modern Eggshell is specifically designed for interior use only.

Ensure the surface was properly prepared (cleaned, de-greased, and lightly sanded if necessary). Use an appropriate Farrow & Ball primer or undercoat for the surface type.

Apply paint in thin, even coats. Avoid overworking the paint. Ensure you are using a high-quality brush or roller and applying at the recommended temperature and humidity.

Ensure the paint is thoroughly stirred. If applying to a porous surface, ensure adequate priming. Apply multiple thin coats rather than one thick coat.

Colours can appear different under varying light conditions. Allow the paint to dry completely before assessing the final colour. Ensure consistent application and avoid thinning the paint excessively.
