Mayfair Dark 218 is a deep indigo blue that features a distinct, subtle red undertone for added warmth and depth.

Troubleshooting

Visible brush strokes during application

Apply thinner coats and use a high-quality synthetic brush or a mohair roller to promote a smoother finish.

Uneven color or 'patchiness' in the finish

This often indicates inadequate priming; apply an additional coat of primer and ensure the paint is mixed thoroughly before starting.

Paint is peeling shortly after application

Ensure the surface was free of grease, dust, and flaking paint before starting; clean the surface thoroughly and lightly sand before repainting.
