FAQs

Can this paint be used on walls?

While technically possible, this eggshell formula is specifically engineered for wood and metal surfaces, not large interior walls.

Does this paint require a primer?

If you are painting over raw wood or metal, using a suitable primer will improve the longevity and finish quality.

Is the Paynes Grey a dark or light shade?

Paynes Grey is a deep, sophisticated grey with cool undertones, providing a dramatic yet classic look.

How should I clean the painted surface later?

Once fully cured, the surface can be wiped down with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent.

How many coats are typically needed?

Two coats are generally recommended for full opacity and an even finish.

Is this paint oil-based or water-based?

This formula is designed to be low VOC and modern, typically cleaning up with soap and water.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not sticking to the surface

Ensure the surface was sanded and cleaned of all grease or dust before painting.

Visible brush marks after drying

Use a higher-quality brush and ensure you are not overworking the paint as it begins to set.

Paint is taking too long to dry

Check the room temperature and humidity; high humidity significantly increases drying time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free of grease or loose debris. For wood, light sanding is recommended to improve adhesion. For metal, ensure any rust is removed and a suitable metal primer is used if necessary. Stir the paint thoroughly before use to ensure the pigments are evenly dispersed. Apply using a high-quality synthetic brush or a short-pile roller for best results. Clean brushes and equipment with warm soapy water immediately after application. Store the tin in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly secured to prevent skinning.
