FAQs

What sheen level does Farrow & Ball Studio Green Flat Eggshell have?

It has a low-sheen finish, known as Flat Eggshell, offering a sophisticated, non-glossy appearance.

Can I use this paint on my bathroom walls?

While it is very durable, Flat Eggshell is best suited for surfaces that don't require frequent washing or exposure to high moisture. For bathrooms, Farrow & Ball's Modern Emulsion or Estate Emulsion may be more appropriate.

How does the colour look different outdoors versus indoors?

Outdoors, Studio Green tends to appear much greener due to natural light. Indoors, especially in less well-lit areas, it can appear almost black. In brightly lit rooms indoors, its green tones will be more apparent.

What is the coverage rate of this paint?

Typically, Farrow & Ball paints cover approximately 10-12 square meters per liter, but this can vary depending on the surface and application method. Always refer to the specific product tin for exact coverage details.

Do I need a special primer for this paint?

Yes, for best results and colour accuracy, it is recommended to use Farrow & Ball primers and undercoats suitable for the surface material (wood, metal, plaster, etc.).

Can I paint over existing gloss paint?

Yes, but the surface must be thoroughly cleaned, degreased, and lightly sanded to provide a key for the new paint. A coat of appropriate primer is then recommended.

Is this paint suitable for children's furniture?

Yes, its durable and washable finish makes it suitable for children's furniture, provided the surface is properly prepared and primed.

Troubleshooting

Paint not adhering properly

Ensure the surface was clean, dry, and properly primed before application. Remove any grease, dirt, or flaking paint. Re-sand and re-prime if necessary.

Uneven finish or brush marks visible

Stir the paint thoroughly before and during use. Apply with a good quality brush or roller, using smooth, even strokes. Avoid overworking the paint. Ensure adequate lighting to see coverage.

Colour appears too dark or too light

Remember that Studio Green's appearance is highly dependent on lighting. Test a small area in the intended location to assess the colour under your specific light conditions before committing to the full project.

Paint drying too quickly or slowly

Adjust application speed based on temperature and humidity. Avoid painting in extreme conditions. Ensure good ventilation but avoid strong drafts that can cause rapid drying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Preparation is Key: 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, metal, or concrete, apply the appropriate primer first. Allow primer to dry thoroughly.

Application: Stir the paint well before use. Apply using a good quality brush or roller. Apply two coats for best results, allowing the first coat to dry completely before applying the second. Work in a well-ventilated area. Avoid painting in very damp or humid conditions.

Compatibility: This Flat Eggshell paint is suitable for wood, metal, and concrete surfaces. It is compatible with Farrow & Ball primers and undercoats. Ensure surfaces are suitable for painting; for example, avoid direct application onto very porous or unstable materials without proper preparation and priming.

Care: Clean painted surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild detergent and water, then rinse and wipe dry. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbing, which can damage the finish.
