Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before applying your tester pot, ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of dust. While you can apply the sample directly to the wall, painting onto a piece of lining paper allows you to move the sample around the room to test different zones. Stir the tester pot thoroughly before application, as pigment settling can occur. Store any leftover paint in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly secured to prevent premature drying. Note that this tester is compatible with various Farrow & Ball finishes; ensure you are comparing it against the specific sheen levels—such as modern eggshell or matt emulsion—that you intend to use for the final project.
