This paint is described as a 'technically advanced, water-based, eco-friendly product', suggesting low VOC content, but specific levels are not provided.
Ensure the surface was properly cleaned, dry, and de-greased. Lightly sand glossy surfaces. Consider using a suitable primer, especially on difficult substrates.
Stir paint thoroughly. Apply thin, even coats rather than one thick coat. Use a good quality brush or roller appropriate for water-based paints. Allow adequate drying time between coats.
Ensure adequate light in the room. Check the batch number for consistency if using multiple tins. Colors can vary slightly on different surfaces and under different lighting conditions.
Stir the paint well. If necessary, a small amount of clean water can be added, but avoid over-thinning as this can affect durability and coverage.
Setup: Ensure the surface to be painted is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or flaking paint. Lightly sand glossy surfaces to improve adhesion. For optimal results, especially on previously painted surfaces or bare wood/metal, apply a suitable primer. Stir the paint thoroughly before and during use.
Compatibility: This eggshell paint is compatible with most interior and exterior walls, woodwork, and metal surfaces. It is a water-based product, so it's best used with water-based primers and undercoats. Avoid application over oil-based paints without proper preparation.
Care: Clean application tools (brushes, rollers) immediately after use with water. To clean painted surfaces, use a soft, damp cloth. Mild soap can be used for tougher stains. Avoid abrasive cleaners, which can damage the eggshell finish.
