FAQs

Can I use this paint on exterior surfaces?

No, the Craig & Rose 1829 Eggshell is formulated specifically for interior wood and metal.

Do I need to apply a primer?

Yes, for the best results and longevity, especially on bare wood or metal, a suitable primer should be used before applying the topcoat.

How long does it take to dry?

The formula is quick-drying, but you should wait at least 4-6 hours between coats depending on environmental humidity and temperature.

Is the finish washable?

Yes, once fully cured, the eggshell finish is durable and can be gently cleaned with a damp cloth.

What tools are best for application?

A high-quality synthetic brush or a short-pile mohair roller is recommended for the smoothest finish.

Is the VOC content high?

No, this is a low VOC formula, making it more suitable for indoor use.

Troubleshooting

Paint is bubbling or peeling shortly after application

Usually caused by applying paint to a damp or poorly prepared surface. Ensure the substrate is completely dry and sanded before re-application.

Visible brush marks

Apply using a high-quality synthetic brush and avoid overworking the paint as it begins to dry.

The finish looks patchy

Ensure the surface is properly primed and that two full coats are applied, allowing adequate drying time between each.

Pros and Cons

  • Durable and washable finish

  • Requires proper surface preparation

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before application, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose paint, grease, or dust. For optimal adhesion on wood, lightly sand the surface before priming. On metal surfaces, use an appropriate primer to prevent corrosion and ensure the paint bonds correctly. Use a high-quality synthetic brush or a short-pile mohair roller to apply thin, even coats for the best finish. Maintain the painted surfaces by using a soft, damp cloth with mild soap when necessary; avoid harsh abrasive cleaners that may damage the low-sheen finish. Always store the tin in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly secured to prevent the paint from skinning.
