FAQs
Is Brinjal suitable for exterior use?
This specific Dead Flat formula is intended for interior surfaces and is not rated for exterior weather conditions.
Can I use this paint in a high-traffic area?
While beautiful, the Dead Flat finish is more delicate than glossier finishes; consider using it on walls rather than high-traffic doors or trim.
What colors pair well with Brinjal?
Brinjal pairs exceptionally well with neutral, stone-toned shades like Skimming Stone or cooler off-whites.
How many coats are typically needed?
Due to the deep pigment, we recommend two full coats over a properly prepared and primed surface.
Is the paint low odor?
Yes, as a water-based, low-VOC formula, it has minimal odor compared to traditional oil-based paints.
Troubleshooting
Uneven color or streaking
Ensure the surface was primed properly and avoid over-working the paint with a brush while it is drying.
Paint rubbing off during cleaning
Allow the paint to fully cure for at least 14 days before attempting any cleaning, and use only a soft, damp cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before painting, ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. If painting over a light color, use a primer tinted in a dark grey to reduce the number of coats required to reach full opacity. Apply the paint using a high-quality synthetic brush or short-pile roller for a smooth finish. Between coats, allow for adequate drying time as specified by ambient temperature and humidity. To clean your painted surfaces, use a soft, damp cloth with mild soapy water; avoid abrasive sponges or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can disturb the dead flat matte finish.
