FAQs
Is this paint suitable for bathrooms?
This paint is designed for standard interior use. It is not specifically formulated for high-humidity areas like bathrooms, where specialized moisture-resistant paint is recommended.
Can I use this on walls?
Yes, it can be used on interior walls, though the eggshell finish is traditionally favored for wood and metal trims.
How long does it take to dry?
It is a quick-drying formula, typically touch-dry in a few hours, but please check the tin for specific environmental conditions.
Do I need a primer?
For bare or previously unpainted surfaces, using a high-quality primer is essential for long-lasting results and proper adhesion.
How should I clean the painted surface?
Once fully cured, wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that might dull the eggshell sheen.
Troubleshooting
Paint is dragging or not leveling correctly
The paint may be drying too fast due to heat; thin slightly with water or work in smaller sections to ensure a wet edge.
Poor adhesion to the surface
Ensure the surface was sanded and wiped clean of all debris or oils before application.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before applying, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free of dust, grease, or flaking paint. If applying to bare wood, use a compatible primer to seal the surface, which will improve the longevity and color payoff of the eggshell finish. When painting metal, ensure it is free from rust and treated with a suitable metal primer first. Clean brushes and rollers immediately after use with warm, soapy water. Store the paint in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly sealed to prevent the formula from skinning over, and keep it out of freezing temperatures.
