Farrow & Ball Dead Flat Paint in the shade String is an ideal choice for homeowners looking to achieve a sophisticated, vintage matte finish on walls, woodwork, and metal. This yellow-based neutral offers an earthy, pale aesthetic perfect for high-traffic areas like hallways, boot rooms, and conservatories, though its ultra-flat finish requires careful application to ensure durability and a uniform look.

Yes, this paint is suitable for metal, including interior metalwork like radiators, provided they are not excessively hot during application.
While durable, this is a dead flat finish; for very high humidity areas, consult Farrow & Ball's specific moisture-resistant ranges.
Two full coats are recommended for the best color depth and to achieve the signature dead flat finish.
As it is a high-quality water-based formula, brushes can be cleaned thoroughly with warm, soapy water.
String is a distinct shade, though it is designed to coordinate well with Matchstick; it is recommended to test a sample to see how they interact in your specific lighting.
The Dead Flat finish often requires two full coats to achieve full opacity and a uniform sheen level.
Use a soft microfiber cloth with a very mild soap solution; avoid harsh abrasive sponges which can damage the matte finish.
Before application, ensure the substrate is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. If painting over previously glossy surfaces, lightly sand the area to improve adhesion. Use high-quality brushes or rollers suitable for water-based paints to achieve the smoothest finish. Once applied, the paint is easy to wipe down with a soft, damp cloth if marked. Always store the tin in a cool, dry place and ensure the lid is tightly sealed to maintain the integrity of the paint for future touch-ups.
