Earthborn Eggshell No. 17 Paint is a water-based, eco-friendly eggshell paint. Highly durable and resistant to scuffs, it's ideal for wooden furniture, trim, doors, shelving and other smooth, planed wooden surfaces. It's breathable, oil free, child and baby safe, virtually VOC free and vegan friendly.
- Also available, Earthborn Eco Chic Paint for the classic shabby chic look on smaller pieces of furniture
In the Earthborn paint ranges, there are two white colours. This is because claypaint contains a high level of clay and much less Titanium Dioxide than conventional white paints. This results in Earthborn Claypaint "White Clay" having a uniquely softer, creamy look. For those who are looking for a brighter white, we'd suggest the slightly more durable Earthborn Lifestyle Emulsion Paint in "White" and you can match this with Earthborn Eggshell No. 17 Paint also in "White" for trim, skirting boards, doors and other planed surfaces. Alternatively, "White Clay" can be made to order in the other ranges to match in with your surfaces painted with Claypaint.
Please Note: Earthborn Eggshell No. 17 Paint is not recommended for floors or other heavy-duty surfaces. This product was previously called Earthborn Eggshell paint.
To achieve the best results with Earthborn paints, make sure the surfaces are structurally sound, free of imperfections such as dust dirt or any other surface contaminants.
- Previously painted furniture should be lightly sanded for a key. Then a coat of Earthborn Multi Purpose Primer should be applied and allowed to dry thoroughly
- Loose or flaking material should be removed
- Defective wood should be repaired, and knotty timber should be treated with a suitable knotting solution
- If painting directly onto untreated wood, prime with Earthborn Eggshell No. 17, thinned with 10% water or use Earthborn Multi Purpose Primer for better adhesion
- Wood that has been previously treated with oil or wax needs to be stripped back to bare, fresh wood
- For any bare melamine or MDF, Earthborn Multi Purpose Primer should also be applied
- For areas where heavy stains that will bleed through your paint are present (such as water and nicotine), prime with Earthborn Isolating Primer
Always do a test area before starting any project to assess product suitability and final finish. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the tin at all times.
This is a natural product, there may be occasions where subtle variations in shade between batches occur. It's recommended to avoid starting a new container of paint in the middle of a project. When painting a large area, where possible, pour the required number of tins into a single container and mix thoroughly.
- Stir the paint thoroughly before and periodically during use, making sure to include pigment gathered in the top and bottom creases of the tin
- Apply 2 coats with a clean and dry synthetic brush, microfibre roller or spray applicator
- Allow to dry for 6 to 12 hours before a successive coat is applied
- For the best finish, lightly abrade between coats
- Maximum durability and full cure will be achieved after 10 days
To maintain the finish, simply apply a fresh coat of Earthborn Eggshell No. 17 Paint as required, following the Application instructions above.
