Product Information

Full details

Mylands Onslow No.48 is a premium, professional-grade eggshell paint designed for homeowners and professionals looking to add a warm, neutral aesthetic to interior woodwork and metal. Inspired by London's grand architectural facades, this paint features rich red and yellow undertones that bring a comforting, sophisticated atmosphere to any room. While it provides excellent durability and a scuff-resistant finish, users should note that as an eggshell finish, it reflects slightly more light than matte alternatives, which may highlight surface imperfections if the substrate is not properly prepared.

FAQs

Can I use Onslow No.48 on walls?

While this specific product is formulated as an eggshell for woodwork and metal, Mylands offers Marble Matt Emulsion versions of the Onslow 48 color specifically designed for walls.

How many coats are recommended?

For full color depth and durability, we recommend two coats over a properly primed surface.

Is this paint oil-based or water-based?

Mylands multi-surface eggshell is designed for modern performance, utilizing a formula that balances durability with the convenience of a water-washable finish.

How long does it take to dry?

It is quick-drying to the touch, though we recommend waiting the full manufacturer-suggested time between coats for the best finish.

Does this paint smell strongly?

Mylands formulations are designed for professional use, but we always recommend painting in a well-ventilated area until the paint is fully cured.

Can I use this on outdoor furniture?

No, this product is strictly for interior use only and is not formulated to withstand external weather conditions.

Troubleshooting

Paint is showing brush marks

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

Surface feels rough after application

Sand the surface lightly between coats using fine-grit sandpaper and ensure the area is completely dust-free before applying the next layer.

Poor adhesion on metal surfaces

Ensure the metal was properly degreased and primed with a metal-specific primer before applying the eggshell topcoat.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated, warm color profile
  • Highly durable for high-traffic woodwork
  • Suitable for both wood and metal
  • Washable and easy to maintain
  • Professional-grade coverage and finish

Cons

  • Requires smooth surface preparation for best results
  • Limited to interior use only
  • Sheen may highlight surface bumps if not sanded correctly

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best result, begin by preparing your surface: wood should be sanded smooth and free of dust, and metal should be primed with an appropriate metal primer if bare. Apply the paint using high-quality synthetic brushes or rollers to achieve a professional, brush-mark-free finish. For care, avoid harsh chemical cleaners. Simply wipe the surface with a soft, slightly damp microfiber cloth to remove dust or dirt. Should any scuffs appear, the high-quality binders in the paint allow for easy spot-touching without noticeable color shifts.
