Product Information
Full details
The Craig & Rose 1829 Eggshell in Yellow is designed for homeowners and professional decorators looking to achieve a sophisticated, durable finish on interior surfaces. This premium paint excels by offering excellent coverage and a subtle, soft-sheen aesthetic that elevates any room's atmosphere. However, users should note that the eggshell finish is less scrubbable than high-gloss alternatives, requiring careful maintenance in high-traffic or high-moisture zones.

FAQs
Is this paint suitable for kitchens?
While it can be used on kitchen walls, it is better suited for lower-traffic areas as it is less resistant to heavy scrubbing than dedicated kitchen/bathroom paints.
Can I use this paint on wood furniture?
Yes, provided the wood is correctly sanded and primed, this eggshell paint will provide a durable and smooth finish on furniture.
How long should I wait between coats?
Because it is a quick-drying formula, you can typically recoat after 4 to 6 hours, depending on room temperature and humidity.
Do I need a primer?
If you are painting over a light, stable, and previously painted surface, you may not need a primer. For raw wood, metal, or drastic color changes, a primer is highly recommended.
How do I clean my brushes after use?
Since this is a water-based formula, you can clean your brushes easily with warm, soapy water immediately after use.
Troubleshooting
Paint appears patchy after the first coat
This is common with yellow pigments. Ensure the surface is properly primed and apply a second coat once the first is completely dry.
Surface finish looks too dull or too shiny
Ensure the product is thoroughly stirred before application to redistribute flattening agents evenly throughout the paint.
Paint peeling or flaking shortly after drying
This usually indicates inadequate surface preparation. Ensure all loose debris is removed and the surface is primed before reapplying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal results, ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free of dust or grease before application. Use a high-quality synthetic brush or a medium-nap roller for an even finish. This paint is compatible with most standard interior primers, though using a primer specifically matched to your substrate will improve adhesion and longevity. For care, gently wipe surfaces with a damp, non-abrasive cloth. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive sponges, as these can dull the eggshell finish over time.
