FAQs

Can I use this paint on radiators?

Yes, Craig & Rose 1829 Eggshell is suitable for metal surfaces, including radiators, provided the radiator is cool during application.

Does this paint require a primer?

While it can be applied directly to many surfaces, using a suitable primer is always recommended for bare wood or metal to ensure better adhesion.

How many coats should I apply?

We recommend two coats for the best color depth and durability.

Is this paint washable?

Yes, once the paint has fully cured, it is durable enough to withstand gentle cleaning with a damp cloth.

How long does it take to dry?

The paint is quick-drying, generally touch-dry within a few hours depending on ambient temperature and humidity.

Can I use this on walls?

This formula is specifically optimized for wood and metal; for walls, we recommend using a dedicated interior wall emulsion.

Troubleshooting

Visible brush marks after drying

Ensure you are using a high-quality synthetic brush and avoid over-working the paint once it begins to set.

Paint peeling or flaking

This usually indicates improper surface preparation; ensure the surface was sanded and primed correctly before reapplication.

Slow drying times

High humidity or cold temperatures can affect drying; ensure the room is well-ventilated and kept at an ambient temperature.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated, low-sheen aesthetic
  • Fast drying time for efficient project completion
  • Environmentally conscious low VOC formula
  • Resistant to knocks and scuffs once fully cured

Cons

  • Requires proper surface priming for best results
  • Not suitable for exterior exposure
  • May require multiple coats for light-colored substrates

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best results, ensure the substrate is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. If painting over previously glossed wood, lightly sand the surface to provide a 'key' for the paint. For bare wood or metal, apply a suitable primer to prevent bleeding or lack of adhesion. Apply using a high-quality synthetic brush or a fine-nap roller for an even, brush-mark-free application. For care, keep the painted surface clean by wiping with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh abrasive cleaners, as these can dull the eggshell sheen over time.
