Troubleshooting
Paint appears streaky upon application
Ensure you are using a high-quality synthetic brush and applying even, thin coats rather than one thick layer.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best finish, ensure the target surface is clean, dry, and free from grease or loose paint. For new or bare surfaces, apply a high-quality primer compatible with the Farrow & Ball system before applying the eggshell coat. Use a high-quality synthetic brush or roller for application to avoid streaking.
Care Instructions: Once fully cured, the surface can be cleaned using a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scouring pads, which can damage the integrity of the eggshell sheen over time. Always store the paint in a cool, dry place and ensure the lid is sealed tightly after every use to prevent skinning.
