Troubleshooting

Poor paint adhesion

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High level of durability suitable for high-traffic floor areas
  • Versatile application across wood, metal, and concrete surfaces
  • Unique and delicate color aesthetic
  • Easy to maintain and clean compared to flatter finishes

Cons

  • Sheen level may show imperfections more than flat mattes
  • Requires proper surface preparation for optimal adhesion
  • Light color may require more coats to achieve full opacity on dark surfaces

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from grease or loose particles before application. For best results, use a compatible Farrow & Ball primer. Apply using a high-quality synthetic brush or a short-pile roller for an even finish. When painting floors, ensure the surface is properly sanded and primed to guarantee maximum adhesion. For ongoing care, clean the painted surface with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap; avoid abrasive chemicals that could dull the eggshell sheen over time.
