Ensure the paint has been stored correctly and is at room temperature. Stir thoroughly for several minutes to fully incorporate all components. If the paint is too thick, a very small amount of water can be added sparingly, but avoid over-thinning.
Preparation is Key: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and flaking paint. For previously painted surfaces, lightly sand and prime if necessary. Unpainted wood or metal will require a suitable primer.
Compatibility: This Modern Eggshell is designed for interior wood, metal, and concrete. It is not recommended for use on previously distempered or limed surfaces. Ensure compatibility with any existing finishes, especially on older surfaces.
Application: Apply using a good quality brush or roller. Stir thoroughly before use. Two coats are generally recommended for best results, allowing adequate drying time between coats as per Farrow & Ball guidelines.
Care: Clean spills immediately. For routine cleaning, use a damp cloth with a mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive scrubbing, which can damage the finish over time. This paint is designed to be fully washable and wipeable.
