Yes, Modern Eggshell is specifically formulated to be tough enough for high-use areas like kitchen cabinets.
Wine Dark is a rich, dark blue. Please note that labeling may sometimes reference color codes, but the pigment is firmly in the blue family.
No, Modern Eggshell is designed specifically for interior use on wood, metal, and concrete.
For most surfaces, using an appropriate Farrow & Ball primer/undercoat will provide the best durability and finish quality.
Modern Eggshell is a water-based paint, so brushes can be cleaned easily with warm, soapy water.
For optimal depth of color and protection, we recommend at least two coats.
Ensure the surface was properly cleaned and primed. Old paint or grease residue can prevent the Modern Eggshell from bonding.
Use a high-quality synthetic brush and apply in thin, even coats, allowing sufficient drying time between applications.
Stir the paint thoroughly before and during use to ensure the pigments are consistently distributed throughout the medium.
Before application, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from grease or flaking debris. For wood and metal, use a suitable primer to ensure the paint bonds correctly. Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply using a high-quality synthetic brush or a short-pile roller for an even finish. For maintenance, the cured surface can be wiped down with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh abrasive cleaners that may degrade the eggshell sheen over time. Always test the product on a small, inconspicuous area to verify color and finish compatibility with your specific material.
