FAQs

Can I use this paint on kitchen cabinets?

Yes, this eggshell paint is durable and washable, making it suitable for furniture and cabinetry, provided they are properly cleaned and primed first.

Is this paint safe for bathrooms?

Yes, the formula is durable enough for bathroom environments, though ensure the room is well-ventilated during and after painting.

Does this paint require a primer?

While it can be applied directly to many surfaces, it is highly recommended to use a primer on bare wood or raw metal for the best finish and adhesion.

How do I clean my brushes after use?

Because it is a water-based paint, simply wash your brushes thoroughly with warm soapy water immediately after application.

How many coats are recommended?

Two coats are generally recommended for full coverage and the most uniform, durable finish.

What is the finish like?

It features an eggshell finish, which is a low-sheen, subtle luster that sits between matte and semi-gloss.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering well to the surface.

Ensure the surface was sanded to create a key and thoroughly cleaned of all dust, grease, or wax before painting.

Streaky finish after application.

Use a high-quality brush or roller, apply in even strokes, and avoid over-working the paint once it begins to set.

Paint drying too fast during application.

Work in smaller sections or thin the paint slightly with a very small amount of water if the ambient temperature is very high.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated vintage aesthetic
  • Suitable for wood, metal, and walls
  • Easy water-based cleanup
  • Durable and washable finish
  • Low VOC formulation

Cons

  • Requires careful surface preparation
  • Specific to indoor use
  • Eggshell finish may highlight deep surface imperfections

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best finish, begin by cleaning all surfaces to remove dust, grease, and loose debris. Sand glossy surfaces lightly to provide a key for the paint. If painting bare wood or metal, apply a suitable primer first to seal the surface and improve paint longevity. Use a high-quality synthetic brush or a short-pile roller for application. For maintenance, avoid abrasive sponges or harsh chemical cleaners; a soft cloth dampened with mild soapy water is sufficient to clean the surface. Always store the tin in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly sealed to prevent the paint from skinning or drying out between uses.
