FAQs

Is this paint suitable for exterior doors?

No, this specific product is formulated exclusively for interior use.

Can I apply this directly to raw wood?

For best performance and to prevent suction or uneven color, you must use a suitable primer and undercoat before applying the eggshell topcoat.

How do I clean the painted surface?

The finish is washable; use a soft damp cloth with a mild, non-abrasive detergent to wipe away marks.

What is the finish of Threadneedle No.262?

This paint provides an eggshell finish, which offers a soft, low-sheen look that is smooth and durable.

Is this paint safe for metal surfaces?

Yes, provided the metal is properly cleaned and primed with a metal-specific primer before application.

Troubleshooting

Paint is peeling or flaking shortly after application

This is often caused by lack of proper surface preparation or skipping the primer. Ensure the substrate is clean, dry, and primed before painting.

Visible brush marks in the finish

Avoid over-working the paint. Use a high-quality brush and ensure the surface is properly leveled with a good undercoat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure a professional finish, follow these preparatory steps:

Preparation: Clean the surface thoroughly to remove dust, grease, or peeling old paint. Lightly sand the surface to provide a "key" for the primer to bond.
Priming: Always apply a high-quality primer and undercoat compatible with your substrate (wood or metal) before applying the Threadneedle No.262.
Application: Use a high-quality synthetic brush or a short-pile mohair roller to apply thin, even coats to prevent drips.
Drying: Allow sufficient drying time between coats as specified on the packaging to ensure the full durability of the eggshell film.
Care: Avoid harsh abrasive cleaners. Use a soft, damp cloth with mild soapy water for routine cleaning once the paint has fully cured.
