Product Information

Full details

Mylands Ultramarine Blue (FTT-018) is a vivid, professional-grade interior paint designed for homeowners and designers who want to introduce bold, evocative color into their spaces. Drawing from the brand’s heritage in the British film and theatre industries, this paint offers a unique depth and pigment strength that elevates any room. While its intense ultramarine hue makes a stunning focal point, users should note that such a saturated pigment requires careful surface preparation to ensure an even, streak-free application.

FAQs

Is this paint suitable for exterior use?

This specific formula is designed for interior use to ensure the longevity and vibrancy of the pigments.

Can I use a spray gun to apply this paint?

Yes, the formula is compatible with professional spray equipment for a smooth, even application.

Does the paint have a strong odor?

The plant-based formula is designed for interior use with lower VOCs than many traditional industrial paints, making it suitable for residential environments.

How many coats are typically needed?

Due to the intense saturation of ultramarine pigment, we recommend two full coats for the best color depth.

Is this paint safe for furniture?

Yes, it is suitable for interior furniture, provided the surface is properly primed and allowed adequate time to cure.

How do I calculate how much paint I need?

Coverage depends on the porosity of the surface, but a standard 2.5L container generally covers approximately 30-35 square meters per coat.

Troubleshooting

Streaking or uneven color saturation

Ensure proper surface preparation and use a high-quality, professional-grade roller to maintain even pressure.

Paint appears blotchy after drying

The surface likely required a better primer coat; lightly sand, wipe clean, and apply an additional thin, even topcoat.

Difficulty achieving a smooth finish with brushes

Use a high-quality synthetic brush specifically designed for water-based paints and work in smaller sections to maintain a 'wet edge'.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptionally vibrant and deep blue tone
  • Versatile application methods including spray and brush
  • High-quality pigments inspired by theatre and film aesthetics
  • Eco-conscious plant-based formulation
  • Suitable for a wide variety of interior design schemes

Cons

  • High saturation may require multiple coats for full depth
  • Dark, vivid colors can highlight surface imperfections if walls are not prepped
  • Bold hue may be too intense for small, windowless rooms

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting your project, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from grease or dust. Fill any cracks and sand smooth, as intense colors like ultramarine can accentuate wall blemishes. Always stir the paint thoroughly before and during use to ensure the pigments are properly suspended. For cleanup, wash brushes and rollers with soap and water immediately after use. Store the container in a cool, dry place with the lid securely fastened to prevent skinning. For best results, use high-quality applicators and allow for recommended drying times between coats to achieve the desired depth of color.
