FAQs

Can I use this paint on walls?

This product is specifically formulated as a multi-surface eggshell finish for wood and metal; for walls, we recommend using Mylands dedicated emulsion products.

How long does it take to dry?

Long Acre No.102 is quick-drying, though exact times depend on environmental humidity and temperature; allow sufficient time between coats.

Is the paint washable?

Yes, it is designed to be washable, making it ideal for high-traffic areas like skirting boards and door frames.

Do I need a primer?

For previously painted surfaces, a light sanding is usually sufficient. For bare wood or metal, using an appropriate primer is recommended for the best durability.

What finish does this paint provide?

This paint provides a smooth, durable eggshell finish, which features a subtle, low-sheen appearance.

Troubleshooting

Brush marks visible in the finish

Ensure you are using a high-quality synthetic brush and avoid over-working the paint as it begins to dry.

Paint not adhering well to the surface

Double-check that the surface was properly sanded and degreased before application; a suitable primer may be necessary for non-porous surfaces.

Finish appears uneven or patchy

Apply a second coat once the first is completely dry, ensuring uniform coverage throughout.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated and timeless grey-blue aesthetic
  • Highly resistant to scuffs and scratches
  • Easy to clean and maintain
  • Dries quickly for efficient project turnover
  • Excellent adhesion to wood and metal surfaces

Cons

  • Not intended for large-scale wall coverage
  • Eggshell sheen may show imperfections in poorly prepared surfaces

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before application, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from grease or flaking paint. For bare wood, apply a suitable primer to ensure proper adhesion. When painting metal surfaces, ensure the metal is free from rust and properly primed if necessary. Apply using a high-quality brush or fine-nap roller in even, thin coats. Two coats are generally recommended for full opacity and maximum durability. Clean brushes and equipment with water immediately after use. Store the paint in a cool, dry place and ensure the lid is tightly sealed to maintain product integrity between uses.
