Product Information
Full details
The Craig & Rose 1829 Eggshell paint is ideal for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts seeking a professional, durable finish on interior woodwork or walls. Its primary benefit lies in its smooth, classic eggshell sheen and quick-drying properties, which simplify the decorating process for busy households. While it provides an excellent balance of aesthetics and durability, users should note that as an eggshell finish, it reflects slightly more light than a flat matte paint, making surface imperfections potentially more visible if walls are not properly prepared.

FAQs
Is this paint suitable for exterior use?
No, this product is specifically formulated for interior use.
Do I need a primer?
While it can be applied directly to many prepared surfaces, a primer is recommended if painting over bare wood or porous surfaces.
How long should I wait between coats?
Due to its quick-drying formula, you can typically recoat within a few hours, though refer to the tin for specific environmental temperature guidance.
Can I use this in a bathroom?
It is suitable for general interior areas, but it is not intended for areas subject to direct water contact or extremely high humidity.
How do I store leftover paint?
Wipe the rim clean, seal the lid tightly, and store in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight or freezing temperatures.
Troubleshooting
Paint appears streaky or uneven
Ensure you are using a high-quality brush and avoid over-brushing the paint once it begins to tack.
Poor adhesion to surface
Check that the surface was properly cleaned and lightly sanded before application.
Paint takes longer than expected to dry
Verify that the room temperature is above 10C and that humidity levels are not excessively high.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before application, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free of dust or grease. If painting over previously glossed wood, a light sanding is recommended to improve adhesion. Use a high-quality synthetic brush or a short-pile mohair roller to achieve the smoothest finish. Once dry, the paint is easy to clean with a damp, soft cloth; avoid using harsh abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can dull the eggshell sheen over time. Store the tin in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly sealed to prevent the paint from skinning or drying out.
