FAQs

What is the sheen level of Farrow & Ball Purbeck Stone Flat Eggshell?

Flat Eggshell has a low sheen, typically around 15-20%, offering a soft, subtle finish that is less reflective than gloss paints.

Can this paint be used on walls?

While durable, Flat Eggshell is primarily designed for woodwork, metal, and concrete surfaces. For walls, Farrow & Ball offers other finishes like Estate Emulsion or Modern Emulsion.

How many coats of Purbeck Stone Flat Eggshell are recommended?

Two coats are generally recommended for optimal coverage, colour depth, and durability. However, this may vary depending on the surface and the colour being painted over.

Is this paint suitable for bathrooms and kitchens?

Yes, its durable and washable nature makes it suitable for surfaces in kitchens and bathrooms, particularly on cabinets and trim, provided they are properly prepared and maintained.

How long does the paint take to dry?

Touch dry in 2-4 hours. Re-coatable in 4-6 hours. Drying times can be affected by temperature and humidity levels.

What colours does Purbeck Stone pair well with?

Purbeck Stone is part of the Easy Neutrals collection and pairs particularly well with Cornforth White, Wevet, and Ammonite for a calming and cohesive scheme.

Can I use this paint on radiators?

Yes, Farrow & Ball Flat Eggshell is suitable for use on radiators, providing a durable and attractive finish.

Troubleshooting

Uneven finish or brush marks visible

Ensure the surface was properly prepared and primed. Apply paint evenly with consistent brush strokes, avoiding over-working the paint. Ensure adequate lighting during application.

Paint not adhering well to the surface

Verify the surface was clean, dry, and free from contaminants before painting. Re-sand lightly and re-prime if necessary, especially on glossy or difficult surfaces.

Colour appears different from the swatch

Lighting conditions and the underlying primer colour can affect the final appearance. Allow the paint to dry completely, as colours can change slightly when wet. Consider painting a small test area first.

Surface feels tacky after extended drying time

This can be due to high humidity, low temperatures, or insufficient ventilation. Ensure the room is well-ventilated and maintain a consistent temperature during drying. Avoid applying thick coats.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Surface Preparation: Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and flaking paint. For previously painted surfaces, lightly sand and wipe clean. For bare wood or metal, apply an appropriate primer. For best results, use Farrow & Ball's own primers and undercoats.

Compatibility: Suitable for wood, metal, and concrete. Can be used on floors, skirting boards, doors, kitchen cabinets, furniture, and radiators. Not recommended for use on ceilings or walls typically finished with emulsion.

Application: Stir thoroughly before use. Apply with a brush or roller, working in manageable sections. Avoid over-brushing. Typically, two coats are recommended for optimal colour depth and protection.

Care: Clean spills and marks promptly with a damp, soft cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild detergent and water solution. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh scrubbing, which can damage the finish.
