A bright makeover for a busy Cardigan Café

Nerys Evans of Cardigan Bay Brownies approached us with her exciting project of upcycling a church bench for her local café, Cardigan Bay brownies. We suggested using Eico Alterior Eggshell for a bright and durable finish. The end result was stunning, and we were thrilled to have been a part of the project. 

Our recommendation for Nerys was the Eico Alterior Eggshell paint. Despite the impressive range of colours in the eico colour card, we could not find the exact shade Nerys was looking for. Therefore, we consulted the British Standard Colour Card and found Traffic Purple Number 4006 was the perfect fit. This paint is sure to make a statement at her cafe while providing a durable and long-lasting finish. 

Products used:

• Eico eggshell Mixed to Traffic Purple RAL 4006
• Eico Grepp Primer available in size 750ml, 2.5 litres and 5 litres

We’re so happy to hear that they are satisfied with the Eico paint, he’s what they had to say:

“We’re thrilled with our paint, we found it incredibly easy to use and love the bright and vibrant colour, it’s like a fuchsia pink. Easy to apply with a mixed bristle brush, just two licks of paint and it was ready to go!”

Don't miss out on the Cardigan Bay Brownie shop when in Cardigan for some of Wales' top cakes! And while you're there, be sure to sit on the bench.

Cardigan Bay brownies is a popular cafe and shop located in the centre of Cardigan town. Since March 2019, Nerys has been serving customers delicious brownies, blondies, and cookie cups made from locally sourced produce. The café has gained a huge following, with customers returning time and again for the tasty treats which have even been shipped worldwide.
