Product Information

Full details

Mylands Islington No.23 Multi-Surface Eggshell Paint is an ideal choice for homeowners and professionals seeking a sophisticated, well-balanced, silvery blue-grey finish for interior woodwork and metal surfaces. This durable, scuff-resistant paint provides a smooth, professional-grade aesthetic that is both washable and quick-drying. While it offers excellent versatility for trims, doors, and skirting boards, users should ensure they are using the correct finish for their specific project, as this particular formula is engineered specifically for woodwork and metal rather than walls or exterior masonry.

FAQs

Can I use this paint on my walls?

No, this is a multi-surface eggshell formulated for wood and metal. You should use the Mylands Marble Matt Emulsion for interior walls.

Does this paint require a primer?

If the surface is previously painted and in good condition, a primer is often not required. However, for bare wood or metal, a suitable primer is highly recommended.

How long does it take to dry?

Mylands paints are designed to be quick-drying, though exact times vary based on ambient temperature and humidity.

Is this paint suitable for exterior doors?

No, this product is specifically designed for interior surfaces. Please check for specific exterior-rated products for outdoor use.

How much area does the 250ml tin cover?

The 250ml tin is ideal for smaller projects, touch-ups, or samples, covering approximately 2.5 to 3 square meters depending on surface porosity.

Is the finish high-gloss?

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

Troubleshooting

Paint is showing brush marks

Ensure you are using a high-quality synthetic brush and avoid over-working the paint once it begins to tack up.

Paint peeling or flaking shortly after application

This often indicates the surface was not properly prepared. Sand, clean, and prime the surface if necessary before repainting.

  • Excellent durability for high-wear areas
  • Smooth, professional-grade finish

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best results with Mylands Islington No.23, surfaces must be clean, dry, and free of dust or grease. If painting over previously glossed wood, lightly sand the surface to provide a 'key' for better adhesion. Use a high-quality synthetic brush or a small foam roller for the smoothest application.

Avoid painting in extreme temperatures or high humidity, as this can affect drying times and final finish quality. For maintenance, a soft, damp cloth with mild soapy water is sufficient to keep the surface looking pristine; avoid harsh chemical cleaners which may dull the eggshell sheen over time.
