This Farrow & Ball Modern Eggshell paint in Wimborne White is designed for homeowners seeking a durable and beautiful finish for high-traffic interior surfaces like floors, skirting boards, doors, and kitchen cabinets. Its key benefit is extreme toughness, resisting scuffs and stains while offering a washable and wipeable satin finish. A potential caveat is its specific sheen level (40%) which may differ from other finishes.

Recoat after 4 hours. Allow for adequate drying time in well-ventilated conditions. Drying times can vary based on temperature and humidity.
Wimborne White is a just off-white shade, only a shade away from pure white. The addition of a small amount of warm yellow pigment makes it a versatile and slightly softer option than a stark white.
Yes, for best results and adhesion, always use the appropriate Farrow & Ball primer for your specific surface type (bare wood, metal, previously painted, etc.).
Ensure the surface was properly cleaned, sanded (if required), and primed before application. Check that the paint was stirred thoroughly.
Apply paint evenly using long, overlapping strokes. Ensure sufficient paint is on the brush/roller. Work in consistent lighting and avoid overworking the paint.
Apply a second coat as recommended. Ensure the surface was properly prepared and primed, especially if painting over a dark color or a porous material.
This can indicate insufficient drying time between coats or application in humid/cold conditions. Ensure adequate ventilation and allow more time for drying.
Surface Preparation: Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and flaking paint. For previously painted surfaces, lightly sand and prime if necessary. For bare wood or metal, use the appropriate Farrow & Ball primer.
Compatibility: This paint is designed for interior wood, metal, and concrete surfaces. It is not suitable for exterior use or for directly painting walls that are not wood or metal.
Application: Stir thoroughly before use. Apply two coats with a good quality brush or roller, allowing adequate drying time between coats. Use in a well-ventilated area.
Care: Clean spills and marks promptly using a damp cloth. For tougher stains, a mild detergent can be used. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
