FAQs

Do I need a primer for this paint?

Yes, we strongly recommend a Dark Grey Primer and Undercoat to ensure the best color depth and adhesion.

Can this paint be used on floors?

While this is a multi-surface paint, Mylands offers a specific Decorative Floor Satin Paint for high-traffic flooring needs.

Is the paint safe for children's rooms?

The plant-based formula is designed with environmental considerations in mind, making it a great choice for interior living spaces.

How do I clean marks off the dead matt finish?

Gently wipe the area with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive sponges.

What is the best way to apply this paint?

You can use a high-quality brush, roller, or spray equipment. Always ensure even, thin coats for the best professional finish.

Troubleshooting

Color appears streaky or patchy

This is likely due to skipping the recommended Dark Grey Primer and Undercoat. Apply the correct primer and recoat.

Finish looks too shiny

Ensure the surface is properly prepped and that you are using a genuine Dead Matt formula. Avoid overworking the paint with the brush while drying.

Paint is bubbling during application

Avoid over-rolling the paint. Use a steady, light hand to prevent air entrapment in the finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting your project, ensure that surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose paint or dust. For the most vibrant result, you must use a Dark Grey Primer and Undercoat, as this provides the necessary foundation for the deep pigments of London Brown. Use high-quality synthetic brushes or fine-nap rollers for the best finish. If using a spray gun, ensure you follow the manufacturer's thinning instructions to maintain the integrity of the plant-based formula. Clean brushes immediately after use with warm, soapy water. To maintain the paint surface, avoid abrasive scrubbing; instead, use a soft, damp microfiber cloth to gently remove dust or marks.
