FAQs

Can I use Modern Eggshell on my kitchen floor?

Yes, it is formulated to be durable enough for floor surfaces, though ensure the floor is properly primed and allowed to cure fully before heavy foot traffic.

Does this paint require a primer?

Yes, using the recommended Farrow & Ball primer is essential for achieving the best adhesion and longevity, especially on bare wood or metal.

How long until the paint is fully cured?

While the paint will be touch-dry in a few hours, it takes up to 14 days to fully harden and reach its maximum durability.

Is this paint suitable for radiators?

Yes, Modern Eggshell is heat-resistant, making it an excellent choice for radiators.

How does this pink shade look in low light?

Templeton Pink becomes surprisingly deep and cozy in low light, adding a rich, welcoming atmosphere to the room.

Is this finish water-based?

Yes, Modern Eggshell is a water-based finish, which makes cleaning brushes easier compared to oil-based paints.

Troubleshooting

Paint is peeling shortly after application

Ensure the surface was free of grease or old flaky paint prior to application and that the correct primer was used.

Finish looks uneven or streaky

Ensure you are using a high-quality brush and that you are not over-working the paint as it begins to dry.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely durable finish suitable for floors and high-traffic areas
  • Versatile use across multiple materials like wood, metal, and concrete
  • Rich, complex color profile that adds character to both historic and contemporary homes
  • Easy to clean and maintain once fully cured

Cons

  • Requires proper surface preparation for optimal adhesion
  • Full curing time is necessary to reach maximum durability
  • The intense pigmentation can shift significantly depending on ambient light

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before application, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from debris. For new wood or bare metal, use an appropriate Farrow & Ball primer to create a smooth foundation. When applying, use a high-quality synthetic brush or roller for a smooth, streak-free coat. Two coats are recommended for full color depth. Once applied, avoid heavy cleaning for the first 14 days as the paint completes its curing cycle. To maintain, simply wipe down with a damp, lint-free cloth and mild soapy water if necessary. Avoid harsh abrasive cleaners that may dull the eggshell sheen over time.
