Product Information

Full details

This Mylands Silver Bit No.77 Eggshell paint is ideal for homeowners and professionals seeking a sophisticated, neutral aesthetic for interior woodwork and metal surfaces. Its key benefit lies in the warm, dusty grey tone enriched with subtle red and umber undertones, offering both durability and a professional-grade finish. One notable caveat is that for the most consistent and long-lasting results, using a dedicated White Primer and Undercoat is strongly recommended before application.

FAQs

Is this paint suitable for exterior doors?

No, this specific formulation is designed for interior woodwork and metal surfaces only.

Do I have to use a primer?

While you can technically apply it directly, Mylands strongly recommends using their White Primer and Undercoat for the best adhesion and finish longevity.

How long does it take to dry?

This paint features a quick-drying formula, though exact times can vary based on ambient temperature and humidity.

Can this be used on metal?

Yes, this paint is compatible with interior metal surfaces.

Is the finish high-gloss?

No, this is an eggshell finish, which provides a soft, low-sheen luster rather than a high-gloss look.

How do I clean my brushes after use?

Please follow the cleaning instructions on the paint tin, which typically require soap and water or a specific brush cleaner depending on the solvent base.

Troubleshooting

Visible brush marks after drying

Ensure you are using a high-quality synthetic brush and avoid over-working the paint once applied to the surface.

Paint not sticking to surface

Ensure the surface was properly cleaned and that a White Primer and Undercoat were applied as recommended.

Finish appears uneven or patchy

This is often due to an inconsistent undercoat. Apply a uniform layer of primer first and ensure two full coats of paint are applied.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting your project, ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. To achieve the professional results intended by Mylands, apply a White Primer and Undercoat first. This improves paint adhesion and ensures the integrity of the color finish. When applying, use high-quality brushes or rollers suitable for eggshell paint to maintain the smooth texture. For care, once the paint is fully cured, it is washable. Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt gently; avoid abrasive scrubbers that might degrade the eggshell finish over time.
