Product Information

Full details

Mylands Maugham White 2 Multi-Surface Eggshell Paint is an ideal choice for homeowners and professionals seeking a serene, classic white finish for interior woodwork and metal surfaces. Inspired by the work of decorator Syrie Maugham, this paint offers a sophisticated, slightly softened white that provides excellent durability and a smooth texture. While it is perfect for high-traffic areas like skirting boards and doors due to its washable nature, users should note that this specific formula is intended primarily for interior trim and metal, rather than walls or heavy-duty floors.

FAQs

Can this paint be used on walls?

No, this specific eggshell formula is designed for interior woodwork, trim, skirting boards, doors, and metal.

Is this paint washable?

Yes, once fully cured, the paint is durable and washable, making it excellent for high-traffic areas.

Do I need a primer?

For bare wood or metal, or if covering a dark or porous surface, using a professional-grade primer is highly recommended for the best finish.

How many coats should I apply?

For the best finish, two coats are generally recommended, ensuring the first coat is fully dry before applying the second.

Can I use this on radiators?

Mylands eggshell is generally suitable for interior metal, but ensure the radiator is cool and off before application and throughout the drying process.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not sticking to the surface

Ensure the surface was sanded and cleaned of all dust, grease, or previous wax residue before application.

Visible brush marks or streaks

Ensure you are using a high-quality synthetic brush and avoid overworking the paint as it begins to set.

Paint is taking too long to dry

Ensure the room is well-ventilated and the ambient temperature is within the recommended range, as high humidity can delay drying.

  • Highly durable and resistant to daily scuffs.
  • Easily washable for simple maintenance.
  • Dries quickly for efficient application.
  • High-quality finish suitable for professional results.

  • Limited to interior use only.
  • Not intended for walls or flooring projects.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free of dust, grease, or loose paint. For best results, sand existing glossy surfaces to improve adhesion and apply a suitable primer if painting bare wood or untreated metal. Use high-quality brushes or rollers designed for eggshell finishes to achieve a streak-free application. Once applied, allow sufficient drying time between coats as recommended on the packaging. To care for your painted surfaces, wait for the paint to fully cure before washing; wipe down with a soft cloth and mild soap when cleaning is required. Store the container in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly sealed to prevent the product from drying out.
