Product Information

Full details

Farrow & Ball Dead Flat Paint in the shade String is a high-performance, multi-surface paint designed for homeowners and designers who want a sophisticated, vintage-inspired matte finish on walls, woodwork, and metal. Crafted in England with a durable alkyd resin base, this paint offers excellent scuff resistance and a beautiful earthy, yellow-based neutral tone, making it ideal for high-traffic areas like hallways; however, users should note that its ultra-flat aesthetic requires proper surface preparation to ensure an even application.

FAQs

Can I use this paint on furniture?

Yes, Dead Flat is formulated for both walls and woodwork, making it suitable for furniture.

How many coats are recommended?

We recommend two full coats for the most durable finish and accurate color representation.

Is this paint suitable for kitchens?

While it is durable and scuff-resistant, it is specifically designed for living rooms and hallways; ensure walls are not prone to heavy moisture.

What colors pair well with String?

String pairs exceptionally well with Matchstick, which is a slightly lighter shade for an effortless, relaxed scheme.

Does it contain VOCs?

Farrow & Ball products are water-based and formulated with high-quality ingredients to minimize environmental impact.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering well to metal surfaces

Ensure the metal surface is properly primed with a metal-specific primer before application.

Finish looks patchy or uneven

Ensure the surface was sanded and primed properly; apply a second coat after the first has fully dried to ensure consistency.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before applying the Dead Flat paint, ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of grease or loose paint. For new wood or metal, apply a suitable primer to ensure maximum adhesion. Use a high-quality synthetic brush or a short-pile roller for the best finish. Apply two coats to achieve the true depth of the String color. To maintain the finish, simply wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth and a mild soap if necessary. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can disturb the delicate matte surface over time.
