Eggshell paint

Posted by Christine Mileham, on
Hi, I'm going to paint a pine sideboard in Eggshell paint. Is best to use a roller or a brush, I find rollers easier and I think it leaves a better finish.....but my partner says I should use a brush.

You can use either, the rollers will not get into every corner so you may need a brush just get them covered. Make sure you use knotting first. Then a good primer. You will not get as good a finish if your using a water based eggshell than if you use a oil based eggshell.
