Craig and Rose 1829 Chalky Emulsion Paint

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.
