Product Information

Full details

This 50ml tester pot is designed for interior design enthusiasts and homeowners looking to commit to a specific paint shade with confidence. It allows you to experience the rich, vintage-inspired tone and signature flat matt finish of the Marble Dust shade in your own home environment before purchasing a full-sized tin. While perfect for testing colour accuracy under varying light conditions, the tester is intended strictly for sampling and not for covering large surface areas.

FAQs

Can I use this sample pot to paint a small piece of furniture?

The tester is designed specifically for colour and finish evaluation, not for full surface coverage. It likely will not provide enough paint for even small furniture items.

How many coats should I apply for testing?

We recommend applying two coats to ensure the true depth and tone of the Marble Dust shade are visible.

Does the finish look the same as the full-sized emulsion?

Yes, the tester pot contains the same formula used in the standard 1829 Chalky Emulsion line, providing an authentic look at the texture and finish.

Should I test the paint directly on the wall?

Testing on a separate piece of card or thick paper is recommended so you can move the sample around different walls to see how light hits it throughout the day.

What if I need more than 50ml to test?

If you require more, we recommend purchasing an additional tester pot to ensure you have enough coverage for multiple test patches.

Troubleshooting

The colour looks different than expected on my wall.

Light affects paint significantly. Observe the sample at different times of the day and ensure you have applied two full coats for proper opacity.

The paint appears streaky when applied.

Ensure you are using a clean brush or roller and apply two thin, even coats rather than one heavy layer to achieve the professional matt finish.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Ideal for testing colours in real-world lighting conditions
High-quality, rich pigmentation consistent with full-sized tins
Signature flat matt, chalky finish
Reduces the risk of dissatisfaction with large-scale painting projects

Cons

Small quantity is not suitable for painting walls or furniture
Requires additional material like paper or lining for testing
Limited availability for covering imperfections or repairs

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before applying the tester, ensure your testing surface is clean and dry for the most accurate colour reflection. You can use a standard small paintbrush or a mini foam roller to apply the emulsion. Once you have finished testing, store the remaining paint in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight if you plan to use it for future color matching. If you are applying the test directly to a wall, ensure the surface is primed, though we highly recommend the paper-sample method to keep your wall surface pristine and flexible for future color changes.
