FAQs

Can I use this paint on walls?

This specific variant is a multi-surface eggshell designed primarily for woodwork, trim, and metal. For walls, consider using a dedicated emulsion finish.

Is this paint suitable for outdoor use?

No, Mylands Beauvais No.195 is formulated exclusively for interior applications.

Does this paint require a primer?

While it is a high-quality product, we recommend using a primer on bare wood or metal to ensure optimal adhesion and finish longevity.

How long does it take to dry?

The paint is quick-drying, though exact times vary based on room temperature and humidity levels.

Is the finish completely matte?

No, this is an eggshell finish, which offers a soft, low-sheen luster rather than a flat matte look.

Troubleshooting

Visible brush strokes in the finish

Use a high-quality synthetic brush and avoid overworking the paint as it begins to set.

Paint not adhering to the surface

Ensure the surface was thoroughly sanded and degreased prior to painting; apply a primer if the surface is non-porous or bare.

Uneven sheen or patches

Ensure the paint is stirred thoroughly before use and that the surface is perfectly smooth and primed before the topcoat.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent durability for high-touch surfaces like doors and trims.
  • Soft, muted olive green tone complements various interior styles.
  • Professional-grade finish that is easy to apply smoothly.
  • Washable formula simplifies long-term maintenance.

Cons

  • Eggshell finish may show imperfections if the surface is not properly prepped.
  • Limited to interior use only.
  • Specific sheen level may not be appropriate for all surface types.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best results, start by cleaning the surface to remove dust, grease, or previous loose paint. If the surface is bare, apply a suitable primer compatible with eggshell paints before applying your first coat of Beauvais No.195. This product is highly compatible with interior wood and metal; however, always test on a small, inconspicuous area first if you are unsure of the substrate's compatibility. For care, avoid using abrasive cleaning pads that could mar the eggshell finish. Instead, use a soft, damp cloth with a mild detergent for regular cleaning. Store the paint in a cool, dry place and ensure the lid is sealed tightly after every use to prevent the paint from drying out or skinning over.
