FAQs
Can this paint be used on metal surfaces?
Yes, provided the metal surface is correctly primed with a suitable metal primer prior to application.
Is this paint washable?
Yes, the eggshell finish is designed to be durable and resistant to light washing with a soft, damp cloth.
How long should I wait between coats?
Due to its quick-drying formula, most projects allow for a second coat within a few hours, though drying times vary based on ambient temperature and humidity.
Do I need a primer?
We recommend a primer if you are covering dark colors, painting on raw plaster, or working on surfaces that are highly absorbent.
Is this paint suitable for exterior use?
No, this specific product is formulated exclusively for interior applications.
Troubleshooting
Visible brush marks or streaks
Ensure you are using a high-quality synthetic brush and avoid over-working the paint once it begins to set.
Paint not sticking to the surface
The surface may not have been cleaned or sanded properly. Clean the surface, sand it, and ensure it is free from oils or moisture before reapplying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before starting, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. If painting over glossy surfaces, lightly sand the area to provide a mechanical key for better adhesion. Use a suitable primer if transitioning between significantly different colors or working on porous, unpainted plaster. Stir the paint thoroughly before and during use to maintain color consistency. For ongoing care, clean surfaces with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap; avoid abrasive sponges or harsh chemical cleaners which can dull the eggshell sheen over time.
