Overview

Craig & Rose 1829 Chalky Emulsion is a water based Matt emulsion suitable for interior walls, ceilings and wooden furniture. Specially enhanced to provide better wash resistance and improved tolerance to wear with the use of Titanium Dioxide and pigment protectors to ensure a long lasting and durable finish.

To aid with choosing a suitable colour, Craig and Rose have produced an innovative colour patch. Available as a self adhesive prepainted colour patch with a low adhesion, the colour patch shows a true representation of the hue, tone and sheen and avoids the mess of applying wet paint. With being self adhesive, they can be applied to various rooms or locations and help to judge the suitability of the colour.

Preparation

To attain the best 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 pre 1960s 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 sanded smooth
If necessary, sand the project area to produce a flat smooth surface
If the project area shows signs of grease or oil, then wash with a suitable detergent and allow to dry thoroughly
When applying to new plaster, the area should be primed with a suitable wall undercoat

Application

Always perform a test area before starting any project to assess the suitability of the product and the finish.

Use only in well ventilated areas, ensuring that airflow is properly circulated to lessen any effects from the V.O.C fumes.

Avoid applying Craig & Rose 1829 Chalky Emulsion if the room or surface temperatures are liable to fall close to freezing as this could destroy the structure of paint and seriously hamper the drying process.

Stir and blend the paint thoroughly before use, making sure the sides and the base of the tin are thoroughly worked to ensure a consistent and smooth blend of pigment and paint medium
If being applied directly on to a plaster surface, it is advisable to dilute Craig & Rose 1829 Chalky Emulsion by 5-10% to counteract any excessive suction
Craig & Rose 1829 Chalky Emulsion can be applied by either brush, roller or spray. If a spraying system is being used, then refer to the manufacturer for the correct dilution ratios
The standard application will require two coats of Craig and Rose 1829 Chalky Emulsion Paint to produce a solid and opaque finish, though more layers might be necessary depending on the quality of the undercoat and the previous colour of the project area
To produce a consistent coverage spread the paint evenly in multiple directions taking care not to apply to thinly and overspread
It is recommended to leave 4 hours between coats to allow sufficient drying time
To clean the equipment, rinse with clean water and wash hands with warm soapy water

Nice to paint with

Goes on really nicely doesn't, dry too quickly. 2 coats were sufficient to cover a greying ceiling.

Great coverage

Pale Mortlake cream colour is lovely colour with no hint of yellow. Paint covers really well.

High quality- perfect coverage

Amazing colour, love the chalky effect and easy to apply!

High quality paint that was difficult to find

The paint is great quality and has excellent coverage and was easy to apply and was mixed to order

Very good quality paint

Many years ago we used to live near the Craig and Rose HQ and became aware of their paint and its famous role in painting the Forth Bridge. Decades on, and many miles south, we still choose to use this brand as it is good quality and comes in a wide range of pleasing colours. It's good to buy from Wood Finishes Direct as they get the paint to us quickly.

Very dark green nice look

Used before so we knew it was what we wanted

More like canary yellow

When applied its canary yellow we didn’t use it

Not readily available in stores or online

Item arrived fast and exactly as ordered at good price

Poor sample

Not happy with just a scrap of paper.

I have had this make of paint before. It is really easy to apply and gives a very good finish.

It is one of the best paints I have used. I can report it gives a lovely surface and is easy to apply. I would certainly use this product again and recommend it to all.
