FAQs

Can I use this paint on furniture?

Yes, this paint is suitable for interior woodwork, making it an excellent choice for small furniture pieces or trim.

Do I need a primer?

Yes, it is highly recommended to use a white primer and undercoat to ensure the best color payoff and finish quality.

Is this paint suitable for exterior use?

No, this specific formulation is intended for interior surfaces only.

How should I clean the brushes?

Since this is a modern multi-surface paint, clean your brushes according to the instructions on the tin, usually involving warm soapy water for water-based variants.

Is the finish high-gloss?

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

How many coats are typically required?

While it depends on the substrate, two coats over a proper white primer are usually sufficient for a perfect finish.

Troubleshooting

Visible brush strokes in the finish

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

Color does not look like the swatch

Verify that a white primer and undercoat were used, as this base layer is critical for the pastel color to appear correctly.

Paint is not sticking to metal surfaces

Ensure the metal surface has been properly cleaned and lightly sanded to provide a profile for adhesion before applying the primer.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated, delicate color profile
  • Highly durable and scuff-resistant
  • Suitable for both wood and metal
  • Quick-drying properties for faster project completion
  • Easy to wash and maintain

Cons

  • Requires a white primer and undercoat for optimal results
  • Limited to interior use only
  • Pastel tone may require multiple coats over dark surfaces

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting, ensure that all surfaces are clean, dry, and free of dust or grease. For optimal results, apply a white primer and undercoat, especially if transitioning from a dark color to the light Early Lavender shade. The paint is compatible with most standard interior brushes and rollers, but high-quality synthetic bristles are recommended for a smoother application on woodwork. Once painted, allow the surface to cure completely before cleaning. To care for the finish, use a soft cloth with mild soapy water if needed; avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that could damage the eggshell sheen.
