Troubleshooting

Paint not sticking well to the surface

Ensure the surface was primed with a suitable primer like the recommended Mylands White Primer and Undercoat.

Visible brush marks in the finish

Ensure you are using a high-quality synthetic brush and avoid over-working the paint once it begins to set.

Poor coverage or patchy appearance

Apply a second coat after the first has completely dried; ensure the surface was properly sanded and cleaned before the first coat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the professional result this paint is designed for, preparation is key. Surfaces should be clean, dry, and free of grease before application. Always prime the surface first; Mylands recommends their specific White Primer and Undercoat to even out the surface and improve overall paint adhesion. Use a clean synthetic brush or roller designed for eggshell finishes. For care, once cured, the paint is washable, meaning you can gently wipe down surfaces with a damp cloth to remove dust or marks without damaging the finish.
