Product Information

Full details

The Craig & Rose 1829 Eggshell Paint in Dried Plaster is ideal for interior decorators and homeowners looking for a sophisticated, durable finish with a subtle matte-like appearance. Its primary benefit lies in its smooth, low-sheen application that provides excellent coverage while remaining gentle on indoor air quality due to its low VOC formula. A key caveat to keep in mind is that as an eggshell finish, it is best suited for low-to-medium traffic areas rather than high-impact industrial spaces, requiring proper surface preparation to achieve the signature premium look.

FAQs

Is this paint suitable for kitchens or bathrooms?

While it is durable, it is not specifically designed for high-humidity areas; we recommend using a specialized bathroom paint for zones with direct steam or moisture.

Can I use this paint on radiators?

No, this formula is not heat-resistant. It is intended for interior walls and woodwork.

How long does it take to dry?

The paint is quick-drying, typically touch-dry within a few hours, though we recommend waiting 4-6 hours between coats.

Do I need a primer?

If you are painting over a clean, previously painted surface in a similar color, primer may not be necessary. For bare surfaces or drastic color changes, a primer is highly recommended.

How should I store leftover paint?

Keep the lid tightly sealed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and freezing temperatures.

Troubleshooting

Paint appears patchy after the first coat

This is common with high-pigment paints; ensure you are applying two full coats for uniform coverage and let the first coat dry completely.

Brush marks visible on trim

Ensure you are using a high-quality synthetic brush and applying 'long' strokes while maintaining a wet edge to help the paint self-level.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated low-sheen finish
  • Environmentally conscious low VOC formula
  • Rapid drying time for faster project turnaround
  • High-quality pigment consistency

Cons

  • Not intended for high-moisture zones like shower stalls
  • Requires proper surface priming for optimal adherence
  • Smaller 750ml size limited to touch-ups or small feature walls

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best results, start by cleaning your surfaces to remove dust, grease, or peeling paint. If you are painting over a dark color, apply a high-quality primer first to maintain the integrity of the Dried Plaster hue. Use a fine-nap roller for walls or a high-quality synthetic brush for trim to achieve the smoothest finish. Once applied, allow the surface to cure fully for several days before attempting any wet cleaning. For daily care, use a soft, damp cloth with mild soapy water to remove surface marks, avoiding abrasive scouring pads that may damage the delicate eggshell sheen.
