Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure professional results, start by lightly sanding the surface to provide a "key" for the paint to grip. Remove all dust and debris with a damp cloth before application. Mylands Honest John 58 is compatible with most interior primers; however, if applying to bare metal, ensure an appropriate metal primer is used first. Apply using a high-quality synthetic brush or a short-pile mohair roller for the smoothest finish. When cleaning, use a mild soap and water solution on a soft cloth; avoid harsh chemical cleaners which may degrade the eggshell sheen over time. Always store the tin in a cool, dry place and ensure the lid is tightly sealed to prevent the paint from drying out.
