Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this paint suitable for exterior use?

No, this product is specifically formulated for interior multi-surface applications.

Can I use this on furniture?

Yes, as a multi-surface paint, it can be used on furniture, though it will require a careful touch as the dead matt finish is susceptible to wear.

Does Smithfield 19 look more grey or lilac?

It is a neutral grey with subtle lavender undertones, often described as a dusty lilac, which shifts slightly depending on your room's natural lighting.

How should I clean the dead matt finish?

Use a soft, slightly damp cloth to gently blot away marks. Avoid using abrasive cleaning agents or harsh scrubbing.

Is a primer necessary?

While not strictly required on all surfaces, a primer is highly recommended for porous or previously unpainted surfaces to ensure professional results.

What is the primary difference between dead matt and satin?

Dead matt has almost no sheen, providing a flat, soft look, while satin has a slight luster and is generally more durable and easier to wipe clean.

Troubleshooting

Visible roller marks after drying

Ensure you maintain a 'wet edge' during application and avoid overworking the paint as it begins to set.

Paint not covering in one coat

Dead matt paints often require two coats for a uniform finish. Ensure the first coat is fully dry before applying the second.

Surface appears patchy

This often occurs due to uneven surface porosity; apply a high-quality primer to seal the substrate before repainting.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Elegant, muted aesthetic with unique lavender undertones
  • Ultra-flat dead matt finish hides wall surface imperfections
  • Versatile application across different interior surfaces
  • Provides a calming and sophisticated atmosphere
  • Easy to touch up due to the flat finish

Cons

  • Dead matt finishes are more prone to scuffing than higher sheens
  • Not suitable for high-traffic areas requiring frequent scrubbing
  • Smaller 250ml size is best for samples or small detail work

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before application, ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose paint or dust. For optimal results, use a high-quality brush or roller. If applying to a porous surface, a suitable primer is recommended to improve adhesion and coverage. Once the paint has cured, avoid aggressive scrubbing; use a soft, damp cloth for light cleaning to maintain the dead matt appearance. If touching up, ensure you use the same batch of paint to avoid slight variations in colour density.
