FAQs

What does 'Dead Matt' mean?

Dead Matt refers to a finish with very low light reflectivity, typically having a sheen level below 5%. It absorbs light rather than reflecting it, providing a flat, smooth, and elegant look.

Can I use this paint in a kitchen?

While it can be used on walls in low-splatter areas, it is generally recommended to use a more durable, wipeable finish like eggshell or gloss for high-traffic or high-moisture kitchen areas.

Do I really need a primer?

Yes, for the best result, a white primer and undercoat is highly recommended to ensure the color sits evenly and the finish remains durable.

How do the red and umber undertones affect the color?

These undertones prevent the brown from appearing 'flat' or 'muddy'. They add warmth, making the color feel more natural and sophisticated.

Is this paint environmentally friendly?

Mylands prides itself on traditional manufacturing methods; please check the specific product label for the latest VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) content information.

Troubleshooting

Visible brush marks or roller stipple

Ensure you are using high-quality brushes and maintaining a 'wet edge' while painting. If the paint dries too quickly, slightly thin with an appropriate additive or work in smaller sections.

Inconsistent color or patchy appearance

This is often due to poor surface absorption. Ensure a consistent white primer/undercoat was applied, which prevents the substrate from pulling moisture unevenly from the paint.

Surface scuffing easily after application

Allow the paint to fully cure. Dead matt paints require a longer cure time than gloss paints; avoid heavy cleaning or touching the surface for at least 7-14 days.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated non-reflective dead matt finish
  • Deep, complex color profile with red and umber undertones
  • Versatile multi-surface application
  • Provides significant visual depth to interior spaces

Cons

  • Dead matt finishes can be more prone to scuffing in high-traffic areas
  • Requires professional-grade primer for optimal adhesion
  • Not intended for high-moisture environments without additional protection

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve a long-lasting finish, follow these best practices:

  1. Surface Preparation: Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free of dust or grease before application. Sand glossy surfaces lightly to promote adhesion.
  2. Priming: Always apply a high-quality white primer and undercoat. This levels the substrate and ensures the color remains true to the swatch.
  3. Application: Use a high-quality synthetic brush or medium-pile roller for even coverage. Avoid over-working the paint once it begins to set.
  4. Drying: Allow adequate drying time between coats as recommended by environmental conditions.
  5. Maintenance: Clean gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth if necessary. Avoid abrasive scrubbers, which can burnish or mark the flat dead matt surface.
