Best Ceiling Paint for Farrow & Ball, BM Aura
Comments (11)I just primed, and painted my ceiling with Farrow & Ball primer, and Wimborne White in the Estate Emulsion. It's a nightmare. It's flashing after a third top coat. The primer went on beautifully, and looked better than the Estate Emulsion. At this point, I don't know what to do. I'm considering the BM Waterborne paint, but I've read that flashes, too. Any thoughts anyone? For my time, and money, I definitely won't be using Farrow & Ball on a ceiling again. I'm hoping a professional painter can salvage the Blazer Red, I've put on the walls. So far Farrow and Ball for me has been a huge disappointment....See MoreCan paint pads be used with Farrow & Ball paints?
Comments (1)I used a paint pad corner gadget to paint my powder room yesterday in F & B Red Earth. Worked great, although I did not try it on a larger section of wall....See MoreAre Farrow and Ball paints good for kitchen cabinets?
Comments (5)Our last kitchen (unfitted English style) was painted with F&B paint. The island and refrigerator section was also glazed. A hutch was not glazed. We didn't have problems with fingerprints or chipping. Could have been because the harder used areas had a glaze as well? We lived there 13yrs. Our current kitchen is also English, and while I used a F&B color, the cabinetmaker does not use F&B paint. He uses a harder sprayed on finish. He said years of experience and unhappy customers. I also spoke with a friend in the color expert field before selecting interior house paint that said many professionals do not recommend F&B paint because of maintenance issues....See MoreExperience with Farrow and Ball in home paint consult?
Comments (10)@Patricia Colwell I definitely see the difference. I plan to price it all out, and if it works within the budget then I will definitely go for it! @jck910 We are using existing floor, and some furniture (that I'm not married to), and I have a fairly good sense of what I want to achieve for the space, so I'm resisting using a designer for now. But I could definitely use the help on creating a cohesive color palette. I easily become overwhelmed by all the choices and I don't know the "science" behind color (what to look for, how to use certain colors based on light in the room, time of day, etc,..). We are in MetroWest suburbs....See Moresis2two
