Farrow & Ball Dead Flat paint in the shade Selvedge is an ideal choice for homeowners seeking a sophisticated, ultra-matte finish for walls, woodwork, and metal surfaces. This paint is specifically engineered for high-traffic areas like hallways and living rooms, providing a scuff-resistant surface that remains easy to maintain. While it offers unparalleled depth of color and a vintage aesthetic, users should note that the specialized alkyd-based formula requires careful application techniques to ensure a perfectly smooth finish.

Yes, its durable and scuff-resistant properties make it suitable for woodwork, though proper priming is essential for high-use areas.
It is named after the high-quality denim edge, resulting in a familiar, friendly, and laid-back blue shade.
No, Farrow & Ball Dead Flat is a self-priming (on appropriate surfaces) and self-finishing paint that does not require a varnish or topcoat.
For best coverage and depth of color, we recommend two full coats.
While it is durable, it is not specifically rated as a moisture-resistant bathroom paint. Use with caution in areas with high humidity.
Yes, it has an extremely low sheen level, which helps to hide minor imperfections in the wall surface.
Ensure you are not over-brushing the paint. Apply a second thin coat once the first is fully dry to even out the appearance.
Ensure the surface was properly cleaned and primed. Old glossy paint should be lightly sanded before applying Dead Flat.
Allow the paint to cure fully for at least 7-14 days before attempting to wash the walls, as full durability develops after curing.
To achieve the best results with Dead Flat paint, ensure your surface is clean, dry, and free of grease or loose paint. For new or previously painted surfaces, a suitable primer is recommended to ensure even adhesion.
Application Tips:
Care:
Clean surfaces with a soft cloth and mild, soapy water. Avoid abrasive sponges or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can disrupt the ultra-matte finish.
