Product Information

Full details

Mylands Blueprint No.50 Multi-Surface Eggshell paint is a premium, deep blue interior finish tailored for homeowners and designers seeking a dramatic, historical-inspired aesthetic on woodwork and metal surfaces. This paint is highly valued for its durable, scuff-resistant eggshell sheen that bridges the gap between matte and gloss, providing a sophisticated look for trim, doors, and skirting boards. While it offers excellent versatility, users should note that applying a high-quality primer before painting is essential to ensure proper adhesion and consistent surface coverage.

FAQs

Can this paint be used on exterior doors?

No, this specific Multi-Surface Eggshell paint is formulated for interior use only.

Do I absolutely need a primer?

While it can be applied directly to some surfaces, using a primer is highly recommended to improve adhesion, surface consistency, and the longevity of the finish.

Is this paint suitable for floors?

No, this is an eggshell paint. For floor applications, we recommend using the Mylands Decorative Floor Satin Paint specifically designed to handle foot traffic.

How long does it take to dry?

The formula is quick-drying, but full curing time will vary based on environmental humidity and temperature. Always check the label for specific touch-dry and recoat intervals.

Can I use this on metal surfaces?

Yes, it is designed for both woodwork and metal surfaces, making it great for trim, doors, and interior metal fixtures.

How do I clean my brushes after use?

Since this is a high-quality professional paint, please check the product container for specific cleaning instructions regarding solvent or water-based cleanup.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering to the surface properly

Ensure the surface was sanded, cleaned of all grease/dust, and that a compatible primer was applied first.

Streaks or brush marks visible in the finish

Use a high-quality synthetic brush, maintain a 'wet edge' while painting, and ensure you are not over-working the paint as it begins to dry.

The color looks different than expected

Deep pigments like Blueprint No.50 are highly sensitive to lighting. Test a small patch in the target room under both natural daylight and artificial evening light before committing to the full project.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best results, start with a clean, dry, and sanded surface. Always remove dust, grease, or previous loose paint before beginning. The use of a quality primer is strongly recommended to seal the surface, prevent absorption, and improve final color consistency. Use high-quality synthetic brushes or rollers for smooth application. When painting, work in thin, even coats, allowing sufficient drying time between applications as per the instructions. For maintenance, once the paint has fully cured, use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap to wipe away dust or minor stains. Avoid harsh abrasive cleaners that may degrade the eggshell sheen over time.
