FAQs

Is Lock Keeper No.18 suitable for high-traffic areas?

While durable, the dead matt finish is more susceptible to scuffs than satin or gloss paints; it is best reserved for areas where direct impact is minimized.

Can I use this paint on furniture?

Yes, as it is a multi-surface paint, it is suitable for various indoor surfaces, including wood and prepared metal furniture.

What is the primary undertone of this grey?

It features a rich brown base with distinct, warm pink undertones that emerge in different lighting conditions.

Do I need to apply a primer?

For best results on raw or previously painted surfaces, a high-quality primer is recommended to ensure even adhesion and colour depth.

How should I clean my brushes after use?

Follow the instructions on the paint container regarding cleanup, typically involving warm soapy water for water-based formulations.

Troubleshooting

Visible roller marks

Ensure you are keeping a 'wet edge' while painting and avoid over-working the paint as it begins to dry.

Uneven finish or patches

Apply an appropriate primer beforehand to ensure surface porosity is consistent across the entire project.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Rich, complex undertones offer depth
  • Versatile application across different surfaces
  • High-quality formulation for consistent results

Cons

  • Dead matt finish can show scuffs more easily than glossier paints

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best results with Lock Keeper No.18, start by ensuring all surfaces are clean, dry, and free of dust or grease. If painting over previous finishes, lightly sand the area to provide a key for the paint to bond. Use a high-quality brush or roller designed for matt finishes. For care, avoid harsh abrasive cleaners; instead, wipe the surface gently with a soft, damp cloth to remove any debris. Keep the lid tightly sealed when not in use and store in a temperature-controlled environment to maintain the paint's shelf life.
