Product Information

Full details

Vintro Eggshell Paint in Grey is designed for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking for a versatile, high-pigment solution for walls, woodwork, metal, and furniture. The primary benefit is its highly durable, water-based satin finish that resists moisture, stains, and daily wear, making it an excellent choice for high-traffic areas like kitchens and bathrooms; however, users should note that the subtle sheen requires proper surface preparation to ensure a flawless application.

FAQs

Can I use this on radiators?

Yes, the formula is heat-resistant and suitable for metalwork including radiators and pipes.

Is this paint suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, this product is technically advanced and suitable for both interior and exterior applications.

How do I clean my brushes after use?

Because this is a water-based paint, you can clean your brushes easily with warm, soapy water.

Can I apply this over existing paint?

Yes, provided the existing paint is sound, clean, and has been lightly sanded to provide a key for the new paint to grip.

Is it suitable for high-traffic flooring?

Yes, the paint is designed for durability and is suitable for floors and stairs, provided the surface is properly prepared.

Does this paint require a primer?

While it has excellent coverage, we recommend a primer on raw, porous, or previously very dark surfaces to ensure the best finish.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering well to the surface

Ensure the surface was sanded and cleaned of all dust, grease, and debris before application.

Surface shows brush marks or streaks

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

Paint finish appears uneven in sheen

This often occurs due to uneven surface absorption; ensure a uniform primer coat is used before applying the topcoats.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely versatile for both interior and exterior projects
  • Highly durable against moisture and daily impact
  • Easy to clean and maintain in high-traffic areas
  • Rich, pigment-dense colour payoff
  • Safe, water-based, and eco-friendly composition

Cons

  • Requires thorough surface preparation for best results
  • Specific sheen may highlight surface imperfections if not properly sanded
  • Limited to a 1L size for smaller to medium projects

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best results, ensure the target surface is clean, dry, and free of dust or grease. If painting glossy wood or metal, lightly sand the surface to improve adhesion. For raw wood or porous materials, use a suitable primer. Apply the paint using a high-quality synthetic brush or a short-pile roller for an even, flawless finish. The paint is touch-dry quickly, but avoid heavy use on floors or stairs until it has fully cured according to the recommended drying times. For ongoing care, use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap if necessary to remove surface marks; avoid harsh abrasive cleaners that could dull the satin finish.
