FAQs

Can this paint be used in bathrooms?

Yes, its durable and washable nature makes it suitable for bathroom walls, provided they are not in direct, constant contact with water.

Does this paint require a top coat?

No, the eggshell formula is designed to be a self-contained finish that provides both beauty and durability.

Is it suitable for radiators?

This paint is designed for standard wood and metal surfaces; it is not specifically heat-rated for hot radiators.

How should I clean my brushes after use?

Since this is a water-based paint, brushes can be cleaned easily with warm, soapy water immediately after use.

Can I use it on exterior furniture?

This product is specifically formulated for interior walls, wood, and metal. It is not recommended for exterior use.

What is the sheen level?

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

Troubleshooting

Paint is peeling shortly after application

Usually caused by poor surface preparation. Ensure the surface was cleaned of grease and dust, and that a compatible primer was used.

Streaky or uneven finish

Ensure you are using the correct tools, such as a high-quality synthetic brush, and avoid over-brushing the paint as it begins to set.

Long drying time

Check the humidity and room temperature. High humidity or very cold temperatures can significantly extend drying times.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before applying the Craig & Rose 1829 Eggshell paint, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free of dust, grease, or flaking paint. For bare wood, apply a suitable primer to seal the surface. For metal, use an appropriate metal primer to prevent corrosion. Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply using a quality brush or roller in thin, even coats, allowing sufficient drying time between applications as specified on the packaging. Maintain the finish by wiping down surfaces with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent when cleaning is necessary, avoiding abrasive scouring pads that might damage the eggshell sheen.
