FAQs

Can I use this paint on furniture?

Yes, as a multi-surface paint, it can be applied to furniture, though a primer is recommended to ensure the paint bonds correctly to wood or metal substrates.

Is Ionic 87 washable?

It can be wiped down with a soft, damp cloth, but please note that dead matt finishes are more delicate than satin or gloss finishes.

Do I absolutely need to use a primer?

While the paint may cover without one, Mylands strongly recommends a primer to improve adhesion, even out the surface, and ensure a long-lasting finish.

What is the primary benefit of the 'Dead Matt' finish?

The dead matt finish provides a beautiful, non-reflective appearance that hides minor imperfections on walls and ceilings.

Is this paint safe for indoor air quality?

The paint is plant-based, which typically reduces the chemical load compared to traditional synthetic oil-based paints.

Troubleshooting

Visible roller marks after drying

Ensure you are using a high-quality roller sleeve and maintaining a 'wet edge' while painting to allow for better leveling.

Paint peeling or poor adhesion

This is often due to an unprimed surface; ensure the wall was properly prepared with a compatible primer before the topcoat was applied.

Inconsistent finish or patchy color

Apply a second coat after the first has thoroughly dried to ensure full opacity and color saturation.

Pros and Cons

  • Suitable for various application methods
  • Elegant non-reflective dead matt finish

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting, ensure the target surface is clean, dry, and free of dust or grease. Using a high-quality primer is essential to seal porous surfaces and provide a consistent base for the Ionic 87 paint, which significantly improves long-term durability. When applying, maintain an even coat and avoid overworking the paint once it begins to set. Cleanup is straightforward, typically requiring standard soap and water for water-based tools. For maintenance, a soft, damp cloth can be used for gentle cleaning, though aggressive scrubbing should be avoided on dead matt finishes to preserve the integrity of the paint surface.
