FAQs

What surfaces can I use Farrow & Ball White Tie Flat Eggshell on?

This paint is ideal for wood, metal, and concrete. It's particularly effective on floors, skirting boards, doors, kitchen cabinets, furniture, and radiators.

Is this paint suitable for exterior use?

Yes, it is suitable for exterior wood, metal, and concrete surfaces, provided they are properly prepared and primed. For areas of extreme weather exposure, consider dedicated exterior paints.

How do I clean painted surfaces?

Wipe gently with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, a mild detergent solution can be used, followed by a rinse with a clean damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

What is the sheen level of Flat Eggshell?

Flat Eggshell has a low sheen, offering a subtle, sophisticated finish that is less reflective than traditional gloss paints.

How many coats of paint should I apply?

We generally recommend two coats for optimal colour depth and durability. However, this may vary depending on the surface and existing colour.

What is the drying time for this paint?

Drying times vary but typically allow 2-4 hours between coats. Ensure adequate ventilation and moderate temperature for best results.

How should I prepare surfaces before painting?

Surfaces must be clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and flaking paint. Use an appropriate Farrow & Ball primer for best adhesion and finish.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering well or is peeling.

Ensure the surface was properly cleaned and prepared. Use the appropriate Farrow & Ball primer for the substrate. Ensure adequate drying time between coats.

Uneven color or finish.

Stir paint thoroughly before and during application. Apply in consistent, thin coats. Ensure even coverage with the brush or roller.

Paint is taking too long to dry.

Check environmental conditions. High humidity or low temperatures can significantly increase drying times. Ensure adequate ventilation.

Brush marks are visible.

Use a high-quality brush and apply with even strokes. Avoid over-brushing. Consider using a microfibre roller for smoother finishes on larger areas.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Surface Preparation:

Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and flaking paint. For best results, use a suitable Farrow & Ball primer and allow it to dry completely. For previously painted surfaces, lightly sand and wipe clean.

Application:

Stir the paint thoroughly before and during use. Apply using a good quality brush or roller. Two coats are usually recommended for even coverage and optimal colour depth. Allow adequate drying time between coats (typically 2-4 hours, depending on conditions). Avoid painting in very humid or cold conditions.

Compatibility:

Suitable for interior and exterior wood, metal, and concrete surfaces. Not recommended for use on walls or ceilings that require a washable emulsion finish. Ensure compatibility with any existing finishes if not fully stripped back.

Care:

Clean spills and marks gently with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild detergent solution and wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive scrubbing, which can damage the finish.
