Product Information

Full details

The Craig & Rose 1829 Emulsion Tester Pot is designed for homeowners and interior design enthusiasts who want to visualize a specific colour in their own space before investing in full-sized paint tins. This tester provides a high-quality, vintage-inspired finish, allowing you to accurately assess how a particular shade interacts with your room's natural light and existing textures. Please note that these pots are intended for sampling purposes only and do not provide sufficient coverage for entire wall surfaces.

FAQs

Can I use this for small craft projects?

Yes, while primarily designed for testing wall colours, the high-quality emulsion can be used for small decorative craft projects.

Does the tester pot reflect the final finish perfectly?

Yes, it is formulated to represent the actual finish and depth of the 1829 collection.

How many coats should I apply for an accurate test?

We recommend applying two coats to ensure the colour is opaque and the undertones are correctly visible.

Is this paint durable?

Yes, it offers the same durability standards as the full-sized tins within the 1829 range.

Can I mix these tester pots to create custom colours?

It is not recommended, as it will alter the specific chemical composition and finish of the vintage-inspired range.

Troubleshooting

The colour looks different than expected on the swatch.

Light levels change throughout the day; observe the swatch in both morning and evening light before making a final decision.

The paint appears streaky or thin.

Ensure the surface is properly prepped and apply a second coat once the first is completely dry.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Allows for risk-free color matching before full room painting
  • High-quality pigment ensures professional-grade finish
  • Excellent for testing how natural light affects undertones
  • Convenient size for easy application and minimal waste

Cons

  • Not intended for large-scale application
  • Limited volume for covering large test areas
  • Requires careful preparation of the testing surface for accurate results

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before testing, ensure your surface is clean, dry, and free of dust. If you are painting over an existing dark colour, you may need a primer to get an accurate representation of the new shade. Stir the tester pot thoroughly before use to ensure the pigments are properly mixed. Once opened, store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to keep the remaining paint usable for short-term future touch-ups or reference.
