FAQs
What type of finish does Moody Sage paint have?
Moody Sage paint has an eggshell finish, which provides a soft sheen that is more durable and washable than matte paints.
Is this paint suitable for bathrooms or kitchens?
Yes, the eggshell finish offers a degree of washability making it suitable for most interior rooms, including kitchens and bathrooms where moisture and frequent cleaning might be a concern.
How much area does a 1L tin cover?
A 1L tin typically covers approximately 10-12 square meters, but this can vary based on the surface and application method.
Do I need to prime the surface before painting?
It is highly recommended to prime the surface, especially if painting over a dark colour, a glossy finish, or if the surface is porous. This ensures better adhesion and a more even final colour.
How should I clean the painted walls?
Clean with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild detergent solution and wipe gently. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Can I use this paint on furniture?
This paint is specifically formulated for interior walls and ceilings. While it might adhere to furniture, it is not optimized for that use and may not provide the desired durability or finish.
What colours does Abigail Ahern offer?
Abigail Ahern offers a range of curated colours, including Moody Sage, designed to create specific moods and aesthetics in home interiors.
Troubleshooting
Paint is streaky or showing brush marks
Ensure you are using a high-quality brush or roller. Apply paint with even, consistent strokes and avoid overworking it. Allow sufficient drying time between coats and consider a second coat for a more uniform finish.
Poor coverage or colour not as expected
Verify that the surface was properly prepared and primed. Ensure you have stirred the paint thoroughly. Multiple coats may be necessary, especially when painting over a significantly different colour.
Paint is too thick or too thin
Ensure the paint has been stirred sufficiently. Do not add water unless specifically recommended for application, and then only in very small amounts. If the paint seems excessively thick, check the storage conditions; extreme temperatures can affect consistency.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation is Key:
- Ensure the surface to be painted is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and flaking paint.
- Fill any holes or cracks with a suitable filler and sand smooth.
- Apply a suitable primer, especially if painting over a dark colour or a glossy surface. For best results, use a high-quality interior primer.
Application:
- Stir the paint thoroughly before and during use.
- Apply using a good quality brush or roller.
- For an even finish, apply in a criss-cross pattern and finish with light, even strokes in one direction.
- Avoid overworking the paint. Allow adequate drying time between coats as recommended on the tin.
Compatibility:
- Suitable for interior walls and ceilings.
- Works well on plaster, previously painted surfaces, and wallpaper (ensure wallpaper is properly adhered and suitable for painting).
Care and Maintenance:
- Allow the paint to cure fully (typically 7-14 days) before heavy cleaning.
- Clean the painted surface with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a mild detergent solution and wipe clean. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbing, which can damage the eggshell finish.
