Overview
With a nod to the past and an eye to the future, our exquisite 1829 collection carefully selects from the Craig & Rose vintage colour archive and other historical sources.
Deeply rooted in our heritage, 1829 consists of popular timeless finishes such as Chalky Emulsion and Eggshell. The collection is rich and indulgent, featuring 110 colours that are premixed to offer an exceptional depth of colour as well as excellent coverage that lasts. Perfect for a contemporary take on period style and design.
For interior walls, wood and furniture. Not quite matt, not quite glossy, our sophisticated eggshell finish gives a low sheen that falls between the two, lending walls a soft, more subtle than satin sheen for a look that will last.

Preparation
To achieve optimum results, ensure surfaces to be painted are structurally sound, clean, dry and free from dirt, dust or any other surface contaminants.
- Remove all loose and defective paint by either using a paint scraper, paint stripper or sanding down the project area
- Special care should be taken if removing pre1960s paint as this could contain harmful levels of lead
- Repair any defects such as cracks or holes with a suitable filler to produce a surface free of imperfections and then sand to a smooth finish
- Any residue of oil or grease will need to be cleaned with a suitable detergent , rinsed and then allowed to dry thoroughly
- If the project area was a previously gloss or lustre painted surface, then abrade with sandpaper to provide a key
- It is recommended to use an undercoat to help Craig and Rose 1829 Eggshell Paint adhere to the surface if the project surface area is bare wood or plaster
- When applying to new plaster pre-mist the project area or seal the plaster with an appropriate plaster sealer
- If using two or more tins from different batches, then blend the paint together to ensure a consistent hue and tone of colour
Application
Always complete a test area before starting any project to judge the suitability and final finish of the product
Only use in a well ventilated area, ensuring that airflow is properly maintained to lessen any effects from the V.O.C fumes.
- Ensure the paint is well mixed, with the pigment being well blended with the emulsion medium, by stirring before the application and periodically throughout. It is advisable to also work the sides and the base of the tin to completely blend all areas of the paint.

- If the application is by a spray system then please refer to the manufacturer for the correct dilution ration
- Avoid overspreading during the application and distribute the paint evenly throughout the project area
