FAQs

Is this paint suitable for walls?

While technically a multi-surface eggshell, it is specifically optimized for woodwork, trim, and metal. For walls, consider the Mylands Marble Matt Emulsion range.

Does this paint need a primer?

For bare wood or metal, a high-quality primer is recommended to ensure the best durability and finish.

How long does it take to dry?

The paint is quick-drying, but drying times vary based on humidity and temperature. Usually, it is touch-dry within a few hours, but allow 24 hours before heavy use.

Can I use this on radiators?

This paint is designed for interior metal; however, ensure the radiator is completely cool before application and check that the surface temperature will not exceed the paint's heat tolerance.

Is the finish high-gloss?

No, this is an eggshell finish, which provides a low-to-medium sheen that is smoother than flat matte but more subtle than full gloss.

Troubleshooting

Paint finish appears uneven or patchy

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

Brush marks are visible in the finish

Use a high-quality synthetic brush and avoid over-working the paint; apply in long, light, continuous strokes.

Paint is not adhering to metal surface

Ensure all rust or old, loose paint is removed and consider applying an appropriate metal primer first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best results with Mylands Drury Lane No.115, follow these standard preparation steps:

  1. Surface Preparation: Ensure the target surface is clean, dry, and free of grease or loose debris. For wood, lightly sand the surface to provide a "key" for the paint to adhere to.
  2. Application: Use a high-quality synthetic brush or a short-pile mohair roller to ensure a smooth, even finish. Avoid over-brushing to prevent visible strokes.
  3. Compatibility: This paint is intended for interior use only. It is compatible with most standard interior primers, though you should always test for adhesion on unusual metal surfaces.
  4. Care: Allow the paint to fully cure before heavy use. The finish is washable; use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap for routine cleaning. Avoid harsh abrasive cleaners that may dull the eggshell sheen.
