FAQs

Can I use this on radiators?

While it is a multi-surface paint, always check the temperature rating and ensure the radiator is turned off and completely cold during application and curing.

Is this paint suitable for exterior doors?

No, this product is specifically formulated for interior woodwork, trim, and metal surfaces.

How many coats should I apply?

For best results, we recommend two full coats over a properly primed surface to achieve full depth of colour and durability.

What is the finish sheen like?

It features an eggshell finish, which provides a soft, low-sheen lustre that is less glossy than silk or gloss, but more durable than matt.

Can I use a different brand of primer?

Mylands specifically recommends their own Light Grey Primer and Undercoat to ensure the best performance and adhesion.

Is it safe for children's rooms?

The paint is durable and washable, making it a good choice for interior surfaces in children's rooms, provided it is fully cured.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering well to the surface

Ensure the surface was properly prepared and primed with the recommended Light Grey Primer and Undercoat.

Visible brush marks after drying

Use a high-quality synthetic brush, maintain a 'wet edge' while painting, and avoid over-working the paint as it begins to set.

Paint is scuffing or peeling prematurely

Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned of all dust, grease, and loose debris before the initial coat was applied.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To prepare your surface, ensure it is clean, dry, and free from any flaking paint or grease. For wood and metal surfaces, apply one coat of Mylands Light Grey Primer and Undercoat to provide an even foundation. This step is critical for ensuring the paint adheres correctly and reaches its intended longevity. Use high-quality synthetic brushes or rollers suitable for eggshell paints to achieve a streak-free application. For care, avoid harsh abrasive cleaners. Use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap if cleaning is required. Ensure adequate ventilation during the drying process.
