Farrow & Ball Dead Flat Paint - School House White

Yes, the Dead Flat formula is designed for use on metal, making it suitable for interior radiators provided they are cool during application.

It is a warm, familiar off-white. It lacks the cool, blue-ish undertones of modern whites and is designed to feel traditional and soft.

For best results, we recommend two full coats to achieve full color depth and the desired scuff-resistant finish.

Use a soft, damp cloth with a mild detergent. Avoid scrubbing aggressively to maintain the matte finish.

Dead Flat offers a significantly lower sheen level than standard emulsion and includes an alkyd resin for increased durability on wood and metal.

While durable, it is best suited for living spaces. For high-humidity areas like bathrooms, consider a paint specifically formulated for moisture resistance.

Ensure you are using a high-quality synthetic brush and avoid over-working the paint; apply in long, smooth, even strokes.

This often results from poor surface preparation or uneven application; ensure the surface is primed correctly and maintain a 'wet edge' while painting.

Check that the surface is free of wax, grease, or dust. Use a suitable primer if the substrate is porous or previously painted with a high-gloss finish.
