FAQs

Is this paint suitable for exterior use?

No, Mylands Elgin 20 is designed specifically for interior woodwork and metal surfaces.

Can I use this on metal surfaces?

Yes, this multi-surface formula is designed to adhere to properly prepared interior metal surfaces.

How many coats are typically required?

While it depends on the substrate and colour change, two coats are generally recommended for full coverage and professional depth.

How do I clean the paint from my brushes?

Follow standard cleanup procedures for plant-based paints, typically using warm soapy water, provided the paint is still wet.

Does this paint have a strong odor?

The plant-based formula is designed to be more environmentally conscious, resulting in a lower odor profile compared to traditional solvent-based paints.

What is the sheen level of this paint?

This paint features an eggshell finish, which offers a soft, low-sheen aesthetic rather than a flat or high-gloss appearance.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering to the surface

Ensure the surface was sanded and cleaned of all dust, oil, and grease prior to application.

Visible brush or roller marks

Use a high-quality synthetic brush or a fine-nap roller and apply thin, even coats to allow for better self-leveling.

Finish is uneven or patchy

Check that the surface is properly primed and ensure the paint is mixed thoroughly before starting.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before application, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free of dust or grease. If painting over previously painted wood or metal, lightly sand the surface to improve adhesion. For raw materials, use an appropriate primer to ensure the paint bonds correctly. Apply the paint using high-quality brushes or rollers to achieve a smooth finish. Once applied, allow sufficient drying time between coats as recommended by environmental conditions. For ongoing care, clean with a soft cloth and mild soap if necessary, avoiding abrasive cleaning agents that could dull the eggshell sheen.
