Yes, it is durable, though the dead matt finish is more susceptible to scuffing than glossier options, so it is best used on surfaces that are not prone to frequent physical impact.
This specific variant is a multi-surface dead matt paint; for dedicated flooring projects, we recommend using the Mylands Decorative Floor Satin range.
No, it features a plant-based formula, making it a more environmentally conscious choice compared to traditional solvent-heavy paints.
For best coverage and depth of color, two coats are usually sufficient, though porous surfaces may require an additional base coat.
Yes, 'dead matt' denotes a very low-sheen finish that absorbs most light to create a soft, flat appearance.
The paint can be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth; avoid heavy scrubbing or harsh chemical detergents that could damage the matte finish.
Ensure the surface was properly primed and the paint was mixed thoroughly before application; apply a second thin, even coat.
Verify that the surface was cleaned of all grease and dust; if applying over old paint, ensure it was adequately sanded to create a 'key' for the new paint.
Use a high-quality synthetic brush and ensure you are not over-working the paint; apply in long, smooth strokes in the direction of the grain.
Before beginning your project, ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. If painting over previously glossed woodwork, lightly sand the surface to improve adhesion. For application, you may use a high-quality synthetic brush for intricate woodwork or a fine-nap roller for larger flat areas. If using spray equipment, ensure the nozzle is compatible with the viscosity of the paint to prevent clogging. Once applied, allow sufficient drying time between coats as specified on the packaging. To maintain the finish, avoid using harsh abrasive cleaners; instead, wipe the surface gently with a soft, damp cloth as needed.
