Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation:
Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and flaking paint. Fill any cracks or holes with a suitable filler and sand smooth. For best results, apply one coat of Farrow & Ball Interior Wood Primer & Undercoat or Wall & Ceiling Primer & Undercoat, depending on the surface. Allow the primer to dry thoroughly.
Application:
Stir the paint thoroughly before and during use. Apply with a good quality brush or roller. Two coats are usually recommended for best colour depth and coverage. Allow sufficient drying time between coats (typically 2-4 hours, depending on temperature and humidity).
Compatibility:
This paint is suitable for interior walls and ceilings. It is not recommended for exterior use, high-moisture areas (like bathrooms), or high-traffic surfaces. For more durable finishes, consider Farrow & Ball's Modern Emulsion or Estate Eggshell.
Care:
Estate Emulsion has a chalky finish and is not washable. To clean, gently wipe the affected area with a damp, lint-free cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive cleaners, as this can damage the finish.
