Product Information

Full details

This eggshell finish provides a durable, scuff-resistant surface specifically formulated for woodwork, trim, and metal, delivering a professional-grade aesthetic that is both washable and quick-drying. While it excels in high-traffic areas, users should note that this specific 250ml size is best suited for small projects, touch-ups, or sample testing rather than large-scale room coverage.

FAQs

Is this paint suitable for exterior doors?

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

Can I use this on walls?

While technically possible, eggshell is generally recommended for woodwork and metal. For walls, we suggest looking into the Mylands Marble Matt Emulsion range.

How many coats are typically required?

For most surfaces, two coats are recommended to achieve full color depth and optimal durability.

Is the finish high-gloss?

No, this is an eggshell finish, which provides a soft, low-sheen look rather than a reflective, high-gloss finish.

Can I use this on radiators?

Yes, it is suitable for interior metal surfaces, provided the surface is cool and properly primed before application.

What should I use to clean my brushes?

Consult the specific product tin instructions, but generally, water-based paints can be cleaned with warm, soapy water.

Troubleshooting

Paint appears patchy or uneven after drying.

This often occurs due to inadequate surface preparation. Ensure the substrate is sanded smooth and use a primer for consistent absorption.

Visible brush marks in the finish.

Use a high-quality synthetic bristle brush and avoid over-working the paint once it begins to set.

Paint peeling or chipping shortly after application.

Ensure the surface was completely free of grease or wax before painting. Sanding is required to provide a 'key' for the paint to adhere to.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve a flawless finish with Myrtle Green No.168, follow these preparation steps:

Surface Preparation: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Lightly sand old paint to improve adhesion.
Priming: Use a suitable primer for metal surfaces or raw wood to ensure long-term durability.
Application: Apply with a high-quality synthetic brush or a small foam roller to minimize brush marks.
Drying Time: While it is quick-drying, allow adequate time between coats as per environmental conditions.
Maintenance: Clean finished surfaces with a soft cloth and mild soapy water as needed; avoid harsh abrasive cleaners that may dull the eggshell sheen.
