Product Information

Full details

The Craig & Rose 1829 Cecily Chalky Emulsion sample pot is an essential tool for homeowners and interior designers looking to test specific shades before committing to a full-sized paint purchase. This 50ml tester provides a high-quality, super flat matt finish that accurately represents the color and texture of the full-scale emulsion. While perfect for color matching and light testing, keep in mind that the sample is strictly for testing purposes and should not be used as a primary finish for large wall surfaces.

FAQs

Can I use the sample pot to paint a small piece of furniture?

While the finish is durable, the 50ml size is intended primarily for color testing and may not provide enough coverage for a full piece of furniture.

Does the finish of the sample match the full-size cans?

Yes, the sample pots are formulated to provide an accurate representation of the color and the super flat matt finish found in the full 1829 range.

How many coats should I apply for testing?

We recommend applying two coats to a test board to ensure the color and opacity are true to the final intended look.

Is the paint water-based?

Yes, the 1829 Chalky Emulsion is a water-based paint, making cleanup straightforward with soap and water.

Can I test this paint on different types of walls?

It is best to test on a neutral white card or primed surface so that the wall's current color does not interfere with your perception of the new shade.

Troubleshooting

The color looks different than expected.

Check how the color changes at different times of the day; paint often shifts significantly based on the room's exposure to light.

The finish looks streaky.

Ensure you are applying two full coats rather than one thin coat to build up the depth and opacity of the emulsion.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Allows for risk-free color selection before buying larger quantities
  • High-quality matte finish accurately represents the final aesthetic
  • Compact size is easy to store and transport between rooms
  • Helps avoid expensive mistakes by revealing undertones in different lighting

Cons

  • Limited volume restricts use to small test areas only
  • Requires proper application techniques for accurate results
  • Not suitable for touch-ups or repairs on existing walls

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For the most accurate test, ensure your surface is clean and dry. Use a high-quality small brush or mini foam roller to apply an even layer. Apply the first coat, allow it to dry completely, then apply a second coat to achieve the intended depth of color and 'chalky' texture. Since this is a water-based emulsion, you can wash brushes with warm soapy water immediately after use. Always keep the lid tightly closed when not in use to prevent the paint from drying out prematurely.
