FAQs

What is the eggshell finish?

The eggshell finish provides a subtle sheen, offering a balance between durability and elegance, perfect for interior spaces where a soft, washable surface is desired.

How much area does 2.5L of paint cover?

Coverage varies based on the surface and application, but typically 2.5L will cover a reasonable area. For exact figures, check the paint can label.

Can I use this paint in a bathroom?

While suitable for most interiors, eggshell finishes may not be ideal for high-moisture environments. Ensure good ventilation if used in a bathroom.

How do I prepare the surface before painting?

Clean the surface, remove any loose paint or debris, fill holes or cracks, and sand the surface for better adhesion.

How many coats of paint should I apply?

For best results, apply two coats, allowing each coat to dry completely before applying the next.

How should I store leftover paint?

Store the paint in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Make sure the lid is sealed tightly to prevent drying.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering properly.

Ensure the surface is properly prepared, clean, and primed. Lightly sand glossy surfaces to improve adhesion.

Lighting can affect the appearance. Test the color in different areas of the room and at different times of the day. Consider the surrounding colors and décor.
