Mylands Crace 16 is a sophisticated dark grey paint designed for homeowners and professionals looking to achieve a professional-grade, durable finish on interior wood and metal. Inspired by the historical interior work of J.G. Crace, this plant-based paint offers a sleek eggshell sheen that is both scuff-resistant and washable, making it an excellent choice for high-traffic areas like skirting boards and doors. A key caveat to note is that as a water-based, quick-drying formula, surface preparation is essential to ensure proper adhesion and longevity of the finish.

Yes, its durable eggshell finish makes it suitable for interior cabinetry provided the wood is properly sanded and primed.
While the paint has excellent coverage, we recommend a suitable primer if you are covering a dark color with a lighter one or painting over raw wood.
Yes, it is designed for interior metal surfaces, but ensure the radiator is turned off and cool before application.
For most surfaces, two coats are recommended for an even, durable, and opaque finish.
Yes, its plant-based, water-based formulation typically produces significantly less odor compared to traditional solvent-based paints.
Ensure you are using a quality synthetic brush and avoid over-brushing. The paint is fast-drying, so keep a wet edge.
This is often due to improper surface preparation. Ensure all dust, oils, and previous loose paint are removed before applying the next coat.
Ensure the surface is properly primed if it was highly porous, and always apply at least two coats for full color opacity.
Before application, ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or loose paint. If painting over glossy surfaces, lightly sand the area to provide a mechanical key for the paint to grip. For best results, use a high-quality synthetic brush or a short-pile mohair roller.
Maintain the finish by avoiding harsh chemical cleaners; a soft, damp cloth is usually sufficient for cleaning. Store the paint in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the integrity of the plant-based formula, and ensure the lid is tightly sealed after every use to prevent skinning.
