Product Information

Full details

The Mylands Alderman No.60 Multi-Surface Eggshell Paint is an ideal choice for homeowners and professionals looking to refresh interior woodwork, doors, and trim with a warm, earthy green hue. Inspired by a 1950s British Standard shade, this paint provides a balanced, calming aesthetic that integrates seamlessly into both classic and modern interiors. While it offers a highly durable and professional-grade finish, users should note that as an eggshell finish, it is specifically optimized for architectural details and trim rather than large-scale wall coverage.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can this be used on walls?

While technically a multi-surface paint, the eggshell finish is designed primarily for woodwork and trim; it may show imperfections if applied to large, flat wall areas.

Is this paint washable?

Yes, once fully cured, the eggshell finish is designed to be washable and resistant to light scuffs.

Does it require a primer?

For bare wood or metal, a suitable primer is always recommended for the best adhesion and finish.

How long does it take to dry?

The formula is quick-drying, but you should wait for the manufacturer-recommended time between coats to ensure a smooth finish.

What kind of green is Alderman No.60?

It is a warm, earthy green with neutral undertones, based on an original 1950s British Standard colour card.

Can I use this on radiators?

Generally, eggshell is suitable for metal, but ensure the radiator is turned off and completely cool before painting, and use a heat-appropriate primer if required.

Troubleshooting

Visible brush marks

Ensure you are using a high-quality synthetic brush and avoid over-working the paint once it begins to set.

Paint not adhering to metal

Ensure the metal surface has been properly cleaned and treated with a suitable metal primer before application.

Uneven sheen

Ensure the surface is properly primed and sanded smooth; uneven porosity in the surface can cause inconsistent sheen levels.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated and calming historical colour profile
  • Excellent scuff resistance for high-wear areas
  • Provides a smooth, professional-grade finish
  • Dries quickly for efficient application

  • Requires proper surface preparation for metal adhesion
  • Eggshell sheen may highlight surface imperfections if not prepped correctly

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before applying, ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. If painting over glossy old paint, lightly sand the area to improve mechanical adhesion. For metal surfaces, ensure the metal is primed with an appropriate rust-inhibiting primer before applying the Mylands eggshell.

Application can be done via brush or roller depending on the surface profile. For the best longevity, allow the paint to cure fully according to the instructions on the tin before applying heavy cleaners. Clean tools with appropriate solvents or water as specified by the product label immediately after use to prevent paint hardening.
