Full details

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this paint suitable for exterior use?

No, this specific product is formulated for interior use. For exterior projects, please refer to the Mylands Masonry paint range.

Do I need a primer before applying?

For most interior surfaces, a primer is recommended to ensure optimal adhesion and color consistency, especially if transitioning from a very dark to a light color.

How long does the paint take to dry?

Touch drying usually occurs within a few hours, but we recommend waiting at least 24 hours between coats for the best finish.

Can this be used on furniture?

Yes, its multi-surface formulation makes it an excellent choice for wooden furniture, provided the wood is properly prepared.

How much area does 1 litre cover?

Coverage typically averages around 10-12 square meters per litre, depending on the porosity of the surface being painted.

Is the dead matte finish easy to clean?

While the finish is durable, dead matte surfaces have less scrub resistance than glossier paints. Clean gently with a soft cloth.

Troubleshooting

Uneven color or streaking during application

Ensure the paint is thoroughly stirred before use and apply in thin, even coats rather than one heavy layer.

Paint peeling or poor adhesion

Check that the surface was properly cleaned and sanded before painting; ensure no moisture or grease was left behind.

Visible roller marks

Use a high-quality microfiber roller and maintain a 'wet edge' by not over-working the paint as it begins to dry.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated, historic pastel green aesthetic
  • Environmentally conscious plant-based formula
  • Non-reflective dead matte finish hides surface flaws
  • Suitable for use with brushes, rollers, or sprayers

Cons

  • Requires thorough surface preparation for best results
  • Matte finishes may be more susceptible to burnishing in high-traffic areas
  • Color accuracy may vary slightly based on lighting conditions

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before application, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. If painting over previously glossed surfaces, a light sanding is recommended to improve adhesion. The paint is compatible with high-quality synthetic brushes or microfiber rollers. For spray applications, ensure the viscosity is adjusted according to the manufacturer's specific equipment requirements. To care for your painted surface, avoid abrasive cleaning tools. A soft, slightly damp cloth is usually sufficient for cleaning once the paint has fully cured. Store the paint in a cool, dry place and ensure the lid is sealed tightly to prevent skinning.
