I got a couple of bargain tins of water based eggshell paint for wood and metal from the charity shop in the perfect colour for my bedroom walls (B and Q 'Colours' range). I know it takes 12 hours to dry but I don't mind. Is there any reason why I shouldn't use it? Many thanks.

Yes because its meant for wood and metal, you need to use a water based emulsion on your walls
