What is the difference between Flat Eggshell and Modern Eggshell?

Troubleshooting

Paint not adhering well

Ensure the surface is properly prepared, clean, dry, and free from contaminants. Use an appropriate Farrow & Ball primer if necessary.

Uneven finish or brush marks visible

Stir paint thoroughly and apply thin, even coats. Avoid overworking the paint. Ensure consistent application technique.

Colour appears different than expected

Lighting conditions significantly affect colour perception. Ensure adequate, consistent lighting in the area. Consider testing a small area first.

Paint is too thick to apply

Stir the paint well. If still too thick, very lightly thin with water (no more than 10%) according to Farrow & Ball guidelines, ensuring not to over-thin.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Highly durable and resistant to scuffs and stains.
  • Suitable for use on multiple surfaces including wood, metal, and concrete.
  • Provides a soft, pure white shade that is less stark than brilliant whites.
  • Low sheen finish is forgiving on imperfect surfaces.
  • Excellent for high-traffic areas and functional items like cabinets and radiators.

Cons

  • Being a pure white, it may show dirt and marks more easily than off-white shades.
  • Requires careful preparation and application for best results.
  • May require more frequent cleaning in very high-traffic or prone-to-soiling areas.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and flaking paint. Fill any holes or cracks and sand smooth. Prime bare wood or metal with an appropriate primer.

Application: Stir thoroughly before use. Apply two coats of Farrow & Ball Primer & Undercoat in an appropriate shade (e.g., White & Light Tones). Apply two coats of All White Flat Eggshell. Allow adequate drying time between coats.

Compatibility: Suitable for use on interior wood, metal, and concrete surfaces. Not recommended for exterior use unless specifically stated for metal surfaces designed for external applications.

Care: Clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrub brushes, which can damage the finish.
