The Craig & Rose 1829 Vintage Eggshell Paint in Rose Pink is an ideal choice for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking to add timeless, elegant character to period properties or modern spaces alike.

While the paint has excellent coverage, we recommend using a suitable primer on raw wood or metal to ensure the best durability and finish.
Yes, provided the metal is properly prepared and primed to prevent oxidation and ensure the paint adheres correctly.
It is quick-drying, but exact times can vary based on room temperature and humidity. Always consult the label for specific recoat times.
Yes, as it is a water-based, low-VOC formula, it has significantly less odor than traditional oil-based paints.
Yes, the paint is washable. Use a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid abrasive chemicals.
Ensure the surface was adequately primed and sanded before application, and apply an additional thin, uniform coat.
Use a high-quality synthetic brush and apply paint in long, smooth strokes, maintaining a 'wet edge' to allow the paint to self-level.
Check that the surface was completely cleaned of grease and dust; if applying to glossy surfaces, ensure the surface was sanded to create a matte texture for the paint to grip.
Before application, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free of dust, grease, or loose paint. If painting over previously glossed woodwork, lightly sand the surface to provide a 'key' for better adhesion. Apply the paint in thin, even layers, allowing adequate drying time between coats as specified on the product tin. For care, maintain the finish by gently cleaning with a soft cloth and mild soapy water if necessary. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can dull the vintage-inspired sheen over time.
