Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Preparation is Key: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and flaking paint. For previously painted surfaces, lightly sand to create a key. Fill any holes or cracks with appropriate filler. Prime bare wood or metal with Farrow & Ball Wood & Metal Primer & Undercoat. For porous surfaces like new plaster or brickwork, use Farrow & Ball Interior Plaster or Masonry & Plaster Stabilising Undercoat.
Compatibility: This paint is designed for interior wood, metal, and concrete. It is not intended for exterior use or for direct application to very damp surfaces. For best results and colour consistency, use with Farrow & Ball's range of primers and undercoats.
Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply two coats using a good quality brush or roller. Allow adequate drying time between coats, typically 2-4 hours, depending on temperature and humidity. For a smooth finish on furniture or doors, a fine-grit sandpaper can be used lightly between coats.
Care: Modern Eggshell is washable. Clean spills and marks gently with a damp cloth or sponge. For tougher stains, use a mild detergent solution and a soft cloth, rinsing afterwards with clean water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which can damage the finish.
