FAQs

Is this paint suitable for exterior doors?

No, this specific formulation is intended for interior use only.

Do I need a primer for wood?

Yes, for bare or previously untreated wood, an appropriate primer is required to ensure proper adhesion and color consistency.

How long does it take to dry?

The formula is quick-drying; however, we recommend waiting a few hours between coats and allowing the finish to cure fully before subjecting it to heavy wear.

Can I use this on metal radiators?

Yes, it is suitable for metal surfaces, though ensure the radiator is cool and clean before application.

How should I clean the painted surface?

Use a soft, damp cloth with mild soapy water. Avoid abrasive sponges or harsh chemicals that could scratch the finish.

What is the sheen level of this paint?

This is an eggshell finish, which provides a low-sheen, smooth luster that is more durable than matt but less reflective than gloss.

Troubleshooting

Paint showing brush marks

Use a high-quality synthetic bristle brush and apply in long, even strokes, avoiding overworking the paint as it begins to set.

Paint not adhering to surface

Ensure the surface was properly cleaned and lightly sanded to remove sheen; apply a suitable primer if painting on bare wood or non-porous metal.

Visible streaks in finish

Check that the ambient temperature is not too high, which can cause the paint to dry too quickly. Apply in thin, even layers.

Pros and Cons

  • Easy to wash and maintain
  • Quick-drying properties for faster turnaround

  • Smaller 250ml size may be insufficient for large-scale projects

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before application, ensure the substrate is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. For bare wood, apply an appropriate primer to seal the surface before applying the eggshell paint. If you are painting over existing gloss surfaces, it is highly recommended to lightly sand the area to provide a 'key' for better adhesion.

Use a high-quality synthetic brush or a small foam roller for the smoothest finish. Once applied, the paint dries relatively quickly to the touch. To maintain the finish, use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap for cleaning; avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scouring pads, as these may dull the eggshell sheen over time.
