Product Information

Full details

Mylands Hoxton Grey No.72 Multi-Surface Dead Matt Paint is an ideal choice for homeowners and interior designers looking to achieve a sophisticated, calming atmosphere in contemporary living spaces. Featuring deep, warm umber and brown undertones with subtle hints of violet, this mid-tone grey provides significant depth while maintaining a versatile, non-reflective aesthetic; however, the dead matt finish is highly porous and may require extra care when cleaning compared to high-gloss alternatives.

FAQs

Can this paint be used on woodwork?

Yes, as a multi-surface paint, it is designed to adhere to various interior substrates including properly prepared woodwork.

Is this paint suitable for high-traffic areas like hallways?

While it can be used there, be aware that dead matt finishes show scuffs and marks more easily than satin or gloss finishes; consider if the area requires frequent washing.

Does Hoxton Grey No.72 look cold or warm?

It is designed as a warm neutral. The umber and brown undertones prevent it from feeling clinical or 'cold' like many other grey paints.

How many coats are typically needed?

For full depth and color accuracy, two coats are recommended over a properly prepared surface.

Can I use this in a bathroom?

This is primarily an interior decorative paint; it is not specifically formulated for high-humidity environments like bathrooms.

How should I store leftover paint?

Store in a cool, dry place, ensuring the lid is tightly sealed to prevent the paint from drying out.

Troubleshooting

Uneven finish or 'flashing'

Ensure the surface is properly primed and avoid over-working the paint as it begins to dry.

Visible roller marks

Use a high-quality roller sleeve and maintain a 'wet edge' by working in manageable sections to ensure seamless blending.

Paint rubbing off during cleaning

Dead matt paints are delicate; use only a slightly damp soft cloth and avoid chemical cleaners or abrasive scrubbers.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated, glare-free dead matt finish
  • Complex, layered undertones that adapt to lighting
  • Suitable for a wide range of interior surfaces
  • Creates a calming and warm neutral atmosphere
  • High depth of color compared to standard flat greys

Cons

  • Dead matt surfaces can be more difficult to wipe clean
  • Shows scuff marks more easily than satin or gloss finishes
  • Requires careful preparation to ensure even absorption
  • Limited to interior use cases

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation: Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose paint, grease, or dust. Fill any cracks or holes with appropriate filler and sand smooth before applying a primer if required.

Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply using a synthetic brush or medium-pile roller. For optimal depth, two coats are generally recommended, allowing sufficient drying time between layers.

Care: To maintain the appearance, avoid abrasive cleaning tools. If cleaning is necessary, use a soft, damp cloth and dab the area gently rather than scrubbing, as intense friction can burnish or 'shine' the matt finish.
