Mylands Empire Grey No.171 is a sophisticated, classic grey paint designed for homeowners and professionals looking to achieve a professional-grade finish on interior woodwork and metal surfaces. With its balanced umber and warm undertones, it offers a distinct, chalky aesthetic that pairs perfectly with warm whites. While it provides excellent durability and scuff resistance, users should note that this specific variant is optimized for trim and hard surfaces rather than large-scale wall coverage.

While it is technically multi-surface, this specific eggshell formula is optimized for trim, doors, and metal. For walls, consider using the Mylands Marble Matt Emulsion.
No, Mylands Empire Grey No.171 is formulated specifically for interior applications.
For optimal coverage and the best finish, two coats are generally recommended, allowing for sufficient drying time between layers.
On bare wood or metal, a primer is highly recommended to ensure the best durability and adhesion.
As this is a high-quality professional paint, check the specific product tin instructions, though most modern Mylands interior paints are water-based and can be cleaned with warm soapy water.
Ensure you are using a high-quality synthetic brush and applying in thin, controlled strokes. Overworking the paint as it begins to dry can cause streaking.
Ensure the metal surface is properly degreased and, if necessary, lightly abraded and primed with a metal-specific primer before application.
Check humidity levels in the room; high humidity can significantly slow the drying process. Ensure proper ventilation during application.
Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free of grease or debris before application. For previously painted surfaces, a light sanding will improve adhesion. If applying to bare wood or metal, use a compatible primer to ensure a long-lasting, smooth base. Use high-quality synthetic brushes for application to minimize brush marks and achieve that signature professional-grade finish. For care, avoid harsh abrasive cleaners; instead, wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth to maintain the integrity of the eggshell sheen.
