Product Information

Full details

Mylands Millbank No.254 is a rich, earthy brown eggshell paint designed for homeowners and professionals looking to refresh interior woodwork, trim, and metal surfaces with a sophisticated, warm finish. Featuring subtle magenta undertones, this plant-based formula provides a durable, scuff-resistant coating that is easy to wash and maintain. While it offers excellent versatility for various surfaces, users should note that as an eggshell finish, it is specifically optimized for interior use rather than exterior weather-exposed areas.

FAQs

Can I use this on metal surfaces?

Yes, this multi-surface formula is designed to adhere effectively to both interior woodwork and metal surfaces.

Is this paint washable?

Yes, the cured finish is durable enough to be wiped clean with a damp cloth.

What is the finish of Millbank No.254?

This specific variant provides an eggshell finish, which offers a soft, low-sheen luster.

Do I need a primer?

While the paint has excellent coverage, we recommend a primer if you are covering a dark color with a lighter one or painting over raw, unsealed wood.

Is this suitable for a bathroom?

It is best suited for interior dry spaces; for high-humidity areas, ensure the room has adequate ventilation.

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 is peeling or not sticking

The surface was likely not prepped correctly; ensure all dust, grease, and loose old paint are removed before repainting.

Uneven sheen across the surface

Apply a second coat to ensure uniform coverage and check that the surface was primed if it was highly porous.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated, deep brown aesthetic with unique undertones
  • Highly durable and resistant to scuffs
  • Easy to clean and maintain once fully cured
  • Environmentally conscious plant-based formula
  • Excellent adhesion to both wood and metal

Cons

  • Limited to interior use cases
  • Eggshell sheen may highlight surface imperfections if not properly prepped
  • Not suitable for high-moisture exterior environments

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before application, ensure the substrate is clean, dry, and free of dust or grease. If painting over existing gloss surfaces, a light sanding is recommended to improve adhesion. The paint can be applied using a synthetic brush, a short-pile roller, or spray equipment. For optimal results, apply two thin coats, allowing the manufacturer-recommended drying time between layers. Once finished, store the container in a cool, dry place away from extreme temperatures to preserve the shelf life. Brushes and rollers can typically be cleaned using warm soapy water, provided they are washed immediately after use.
