Product Information

Full details

Mylands Huguenot No.49 is an elegant, deep crimson red eggshell paint designed for homeowners and professionals looking to add warmth and archival sophistication to interior woodwork, trim, and metal surfaces. This paint offers a durable, scuff-resistant finish that is both washable and quick-drying, making it ideal for high-traffic areas like doors and skirting boards. A key caveat is that for the most vibrant color payoff and long-lasting adherence, using a specific dark red primer and undercoat is highly recommended by the manufacturer to ensure a professional-grade, flawless result.

FAQs

Is this paint suitable for walls?

This specific eggshell formula is designed for woodwork, trim, doors, and metal. For walls, consider other products in the Mylands range like Marble Matt Emulsion.

Do I have to use a primer?

While you may be tempted to skip it, we strongly recommend the Dark Red Primer and Undercoat to achieve the intended depth and durability of the archival color.

How quickly does it dry?

This paint is formulated to be quick-drying, allowing for efficient work progress, though exact times vary based on room humidity and temperature.

Can I use this on outdoor furniture?

No, this product is specifically formulated for interior surfaces only.

Is the finish high-gloss?

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

Troubleshooting

Color appears streaky or thin during application

You likely skipped the primer; use the recommended Dark Red Primer and Undercoat to ensure even opacity.

Paint is not adhering well to metal surfaces

Ensure the metal is properly cleaned of oil or rust and consider a light sanding to create a key for the paint to bond to.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting your project, ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of dust or grease. If painting over previously glossy surfaces, lightly sand them to improve adhesion. Always apply the Mylands Dark Red Primer and Undercoat to create a base that supports the depth of the Huguenot No.49 pigment. For cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary, as the cured eggshell finish is designed to be washable. Store the paint in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
