FAQs

Can I use this paint on metal surfaces?

Yes, Lock Keeper No.18 is formulated as a multi-surface paint and works well on properly primed interior metal surfaces.

Does this paint require a primer?

If you are painting bare wood or metal, a primer is highly recommended for the best adhesion and finish.

Is this paint suitable for bathrooms?

While durable, this is an interior eggshell paint; ensure the area has excellent ventilation as it is not a dedicated high-moisture specialized paint.

How many coats should I apply?

For best results and true color depth, we recommend two full coats, allowing appropriate drying time between them.

What should I use to clean my brushes?

Follow standard cleanup procedures for the specific binder type; typically warm, soapy water is sufficient for most modern water-based emulsions.

Troubleshooting

Visible brush marks after drying

Ensure you are using a high-quality synthetic brush and applying thin, even layers; do not overwork the paint once it begins to set.

Paint peeling or chipping

This often indicates poor surface preparation; ensure the substrate was clean, dry, and lightly sanded prior to the first coat.

Uneven sheen across the surface

Stir the paint thoroughly before and during use to ensure pigments and binders are evenly distributed.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated, warm aesthetic suitable for modern and classic interiors
  • Excellent durability for high-traffic trim and skirting boards
  • Professional-grade smooth application
  • Highly versatile across different material types like wood and metal

Cons

  • Requires proper surface preparation for optimal adhesion
  • Designed primarily for interior use
  • Limited to one specific eggshell sheen level

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation is key to a long-lasting finish. Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose paint, grease, or wax. If painting over raw wood or metal, apply an appropriate primer first to ensure maximum bond strength. For previously painted surfaces, a light sand (using 240-grit sandpaper) is recommended to promote adhesion. During application, keep the room well-ventilated and apply in thin, even coats to prevent drips. For ongoing care, allow the paint to fully cure—typically several days—before deep cleaning. Once cured, a soft, damp cloth with mild soapy water is sufficient to remove dust or light marks.
