FAQs

Can I use this paint on walls?

This specific paint is formulated for woodwork, trim, and metal. For walls, consider the Mylands Marble Matt Emulsion range.

Do I really need a primer?

Yes. A primer is necessary to ensure even adhesion and to allow the rich purple pigment to show its true depth.

How many coats should I apply?

We recommend two coats over a properly primed surface for a full, professional-grade finish.

Is this paint water-based?

Mylands paints in this category are designed for modern home use, focusing on quick-drying and high-durability properties.

Can this paint be used on metal radiators?

Yes, this paint is suitable for metal surfaces, provided they are primed correctly and the radiator is cool when applying.

How long does it take to dry?

The paint is quick-drying, but we recommend waiting at least 4-6 hours between coats and 24 hours for full curing.

Troubleshooting

Paint is peeling shortly after application

This is likely due to lack of a primer or a greasy surface. Sand the area, clean with sugar soap, re-prime with the recommended Purple Primer, and repaint.

Visible brush marks in the finish

Ensure you are using a quality synthetic brush and applying thin, even coats. If the paint is drying too quickly, consider a slight extension of the drying time by controlling room temperature.

Color looks uneven or patchy

This often occurs when the primer is not used. Ensure the base coat is uniform and that you are using the correct Purple Primer/Undercoat to create a consistent color foundation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best performance, surface preparation is vital. Before application, ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of dust or grease. We highly recommend using a Mylands Purple Primer and Undercoat prior to applying the top coat; this step is essential for evening out the surface, improving paint adhesion, and ensuring the color remains true.

Apply using a high-quality brush or roller suitable for eggshell finishes. Work in thin, even coats to allow for proper curing. For care, once the paint is fully cured, it can be wiped clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh abrasive cleaners that could compromise the integrity of the scuff-resistant finish.
