Product Information

Full details

Mylands Pimlico 136 Multi-Surface Eggshell Paint is an ideal choice for interior designers and homeowners looking to add a sophisticated, ochre-inspired yellow-orange hue to their woodwork, doors, and metal surfaces. This paint provides a professional-grade, smooth, and scuff-resistant finish that is both washable and quick-drying, making it highly practical for high-traffic areas. While it offers exceptional durability, users should be aware that achieving the most vibrant and uniform color requires the application of a specific yellow-toned primer and undercoat to ensure optimal adhesion and depth.

FAQs

Can I use this on walls?

While this is a multi-surface eggshell, it is primarily designed for woodwork, trim, and metal. For walls, consider the Mylands Marble Matt Emulsion range.

Do I really need a yellow primer?

Yes, using a yellow-toned primer significantly improves the vibrancy and opacity of the ochre pigment in Pimlico 136.

Is this paint oil-based or water-based?

Mylands eggshell finishes are formulated for modern convenience, though you should check the specific tin label for the current VOC and solvent details.

How many coats are typically needed?

Typically, two coats over a properly prepared and primed surface provide a professional, full-coverage finish.

How do I clean my brushes after use?

Clean brushes according to the instructions on the paint tin, typically with warm soapy water if it is a water-based formulation.

Can this be used on outdoor metal?

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

Troubleshooting

Uneven color or streaking

Ensure a yellow-toned primer was used as a base. Apply thin, even coats rather than one thick layer.

Paint not adhering to surface

Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned and sanded to provide a mechanical key for the paint to bond to.

Surface scuffing too easily

Allow the paint to fully cure, which can take several days depending on humidity and temperature, before heavy use.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Elegant, desaturated ochre color
  • Highly durable, scuff-resistant finish
  • Suitable for both wood and metal
  • Washable for easy maintenance
  • Fast-drying for quicker project turnaround

Cons

  • Requires a specific yellow primer for best results
  • Limited to interior use cases
  • Not intended for large wall coverage compared to emulsions

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before application, ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of dust or grease. For the best color accuracy and durability, always start with a high-quality yellow-toned primer and undercoat suited for the specific substrate (wood or metal). Apply the paint using high-quality synthetic brushes or rollers to achieve the smoothest finish. Once applied, allow adequate drying time before re-coating. Routine care involves wiping down the surface with a soft, damp cloth; avoid harsh chemical cleaners which could dull the eggshell sheen over time.
