Product Information

Full details

Mylands Hoxton Grey No.72 is a professional-grade eggshell paint designed for interior decorators and homeowners looking to achieve a warm, contemporary neutral finish on woodwork and metal. Its primary benefit is a durable, scuff-resistant surface that offers a smooth, calming aesthetic with subtle violet undertones, though users should note that the 250ml size is best suited for small touch-ups, trim work, or furniture projects rather than large wall coverage.

FAQs

Is this paint suitable for walls?

While it can be used on wood and metal, Mylands offers specific emulsion ranges that are better suited for large wall surfaces.

Does it need a primer?

For previously painted surfaces, cleaning and light sanding is usually sufficient. On bare wood or metal, a high-quality primer is recommended for the best durability.

How do I clean the finish?

Use a soft, damp cloth with a mild detergent solution to gently wipe away marks. Avoid abrasive scrubbers.

Can this be used on radiators?

Yes, it is suitable for metal surfaces, but ensure the radiator is turned off and completely cold during application and curing.

Is the finish high-gloss?

No, this is an eggshell finish, which provides a soft, low-sheen look rather than a high-gloss reflection.

How long does it take to dry?

The formula is quick-drying, but specific touch-dry and recoat times can be found on the product packaging.

Troubleshooting

Paint is showing brush marks

Use a high-quality synthetic brush, maintain a wet edge, and do not over-brush the paint once applied.

Poor adhesion to metal surfaces

Ensure the metal surface is properly degreased and, if necessary, apply a suitable primer specifically designed for metal.

Paint surface appears uneven or patchy

Ensure the surface was adequately sanded and cleaned before painting; apply a second coat once the first is fully dry.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent durability and scuff resistance
  • Sophisticated, multi-dimensional grey tone
  • Easy to clean surface
  • Quick-drying for faster project turnaround
  • Smooth, professional-grade finish

Cons

  • 250ml size limited to small areas
  • Best for trim and metal rather than large walls
  • Requires proper surface preparation for optimal results

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best finish, begin by cleaning surfaces thoroughly to remove dust, grease, or old flaking paint. For wood, light sanding is recommended to improve adhesion. Ensure the surface is completely dry before application. Use a high-quality synthetic brush for application to ensure a smooth, level finish without visible streaks. While the paint is quick-drying, it is recommended to wait the full duration suggested on the tin between coats to allow the resins to properly cure. Store in a cool, dry place and ensure the lid is tightly sealed to prevent the paint from skinning.
