FAQs

Is this paint suitable for walls?

This specific variant is formulated for interior woodwork, trim, and metal; we recommend using Mylands specific wall emulsions for plaster surfaces.

Do I need to sand before painting?

Yes, lightly sanding previously painted or glossy surfaces is recommended to provide a 'key' for the paint to adhere to.

Is this paint washable?

Yes, once fully cured, the eggshell finish is durable and washable with a mild detergent and a damp cloth.

Can I use this on metal radiators?

Yes, it is suitable for interior metal surfaces, provided the metal is properly primed with a metal-specific primer.

How long does it take to dry?

The paint is quick-drying, but we recommend waiting for the manufacturer's specified time before applying a second coat to ensure the best finish.

Does it require a primer?

Yes, for the best adhesion and longevity of the finish, applying a primer is highly recommended.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering to the surface

Ensure the surface was primed correctly and that all previous wax, grease, or dust was thoroughly cleaned before application.

Visible brush marks or streaks

Apply in thin, even coats and use a high-quality synthetic brush; avoid overworking the paint once it begins to set.

Finish appears dull or uneven

This often occurs if the surface is too porous; apply an additional coat of primer to create a consistent base for the eggshell paint.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated, versatile warm grey tone
  • Highly durable and scuff-resistant finish
  • Easy to clean and maintain
  • Fast-drying for efficient application
  • Excellent for high-traffic areas like doors and skirting boards

Cons

  • Primer is strictly recommended for best results

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve a professional finish, proper surface preparation is essential. Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from grease or dust before painting. Lightly sand glossy surfaces to improve mechanical adhesion.

  1. Priming: Always apply a suitable primer first, especially on bare wood or metal, to guarantee the paint bonds correctly to the substrate.
  2. Application: Use high-quality brushes or rollers suitable for eggshell paint to ensure an even distribution.
  3. Drying: Observe recommended drying times between coats to prevent dragging or streaking.
  4. Care: While the finish is washable, use only mild detergents and a soft cloth when cleaning; avoid abrasive sponges or harsh chemical cleaners which can dull the eggshell sheen.
