Ensure the surface was properly prepared (clean, dry, free of dust/grease) and that an appropriate primer was used for bare or problematic surfaces. Previous coatings may have been incompatible.

Ensure paint was stirred thoroughly. Apply paint evenly, maintaining a wet edge to avoid overlapping dried areas. Use a good quality brush or roller appropriate for eggshell finishes. Consider a second coat if the first was applied too thinly.

The final colour can be influenced by lighting conditions, the colour of the underlying surface, and the number of coats applied. Test a small area first. Ensure you are using the correct product and colour name.

Stir the paint thoroughly. If very cold, allow the paint to come to room temperature. Avoid adding thinning agents unless explicitly recommended by the manufacturer for specific conditions, as this can affect the finish and durability.
