Product Information

Full details

Mylands Lemon Salts 43 Multi-Surface Eggshell Paint is an ideal choice for homeowners and professionals looking to add a subtle, citrus-inspired yellow warmth to interior spaces while maintaining a durable finish. This plant-based, eggshell-sheen paint is specifically formulated for woodwork, trim, and metal surfaces, offering excellent washability and scuff resistance. While it provides a professional-grade appearance, users should note that the subtle hint of green in the pigment means the final shade can appear cooler depending on the natural lighting conditions of your room.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this on floors?

This specific Eggshell formula is designed for woodwork and trim. For floors, look for the Mylands Decorative Floor Satin range.

Is this paint suitable for exterior use?

No, this product is formulated specifically for interior applications.

How many coats are typically needed?

For optimal coverage and durability, we recommend two full coats over a properly prepared and primed surface.

Is the finish matte or glossy?

The finish is an eggshell, which is a soft mid-sheen that offers more durability than a dead matte but is less reflective than a gloss.

Can I spray this paint?

Yes, this paint is compatible with professional spray equipment, provided it is thinned according to the equipment manufacturer's specifications.

What should I use to clean my brushes?

Clean brushes immediately after use with warm, soapy water or the manufacturer's recommended brush cleaner.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering to smooth surfaces

Ensure the surface has been sanded with fine-grit paper to provide a key for the paint to grip.

Visible brush marks after drying

Use a high-quality synthetic brush and avoid overworking the paint. Apply with smooth, long strokes in the direction of the wood grain.

Paint is drying too quickly

If working in a hot environment, slightly reduce the room temperature or use a paint conditioner designed for the specific formula.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable, scuff-resistant surface finish
  • Easy to clean and maintain
  • Versatile across different substrates like wood and metal
  • Dries quickly for improved workflow efficiency
  • Professional-grade quality for DIY projects

Cons

  • The green undertone may shift appearance in varying light
  • Limited to interior use only
  • Requires careful preparation on glossy metal surfaces

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting, ensure that the substrate is clean, dry, and free of grease or loose paint. If applying to bare metal or previously high-gloss wood, light sanding is recommended to improve mechanical adhesion. The paint can be applied directly using a high-quality synthetic brush for trim or a short-pile roller for larger panels like doors. To maintain the finish, use a soft cloth with mild soapy water; avoid harsh abrasive cleaners that may degrade the eggshell sheen over time. Always store the tin in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly sealed to prevent skinning.
