This versatile finish excels on woodwork, trim, skirting boards, doors, and metal, offering a durable and scuff-resistant surface that stands up to daily wear.

FAQs

Can I use this paint on walls?

This specific eggshell paint is formulated for woodwork, trim, and metal. For walls, consider using a dedicated emulsion finish.

Is it suitable for bathrooms?

The durable, washable finish makes it suitable for many interior areas, but ensure surfaces are kept dry and avoid areas with direct, constant water contact.

How many coats are typically required?

Typically, two coats are recommended for full opacity and an even finish, depending on the underlying surface color.

What is the best way to clean my brushes?

Follow the instructions on the paint tin, as cleaning requirements may vary based on the specific plant-based solvent system.

Can I apply this over old oil-based paint?

Yes, provided the old surface is thoroughly cleaned and sanded to provide a 'key' (a slightly roughened texture) for the new paint to grip.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering to the surface

Ensure the surface was sanded and cleaned of all dust, grease, or wax prior to application.

Visible brush marks

Use a high-quality synthetic brush, maintain a 'wet edge,' and avoid over-working the paint as it begins to dry.

Paint drying too slowly

Ensure the room is well-ventilated and the ambient temperature is within the recommended application range.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation: Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free of dust, grease, or flaking paint. Sand surfaces lightly if applying over existing gloss paint to improve adhesion.

Application: This paint is compatible with brushes, rollers, or professional spray equipment. For the best result, apply in thin, even coats, allowing the manufacturer's recommended drying time between layers.

Care: Once fully cured, the surface is washable. Use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap for light cleaning. Avoid abrasive chemicals or scouring pads, as these can dull the eggshell sheen over time.
