Product Information

Full details

Mylands FTT-009 is a vibrant, bold red paint with subtle orange undertones, designed for those looking to create striking interior accents or graphic focal points. Ideal for DIY enthusiasts and interior design projects, this paint draws from a professional archive used in the British film and theatre industries to deliver high-pigment, cinematic color. One caveat is that to achieve the most durable, professional-grade finish, it is highly recommended to use a dedicated primer, as this specific shade requires proper surface preparation to ensure consistent color depth and longevity.

FAQs

Is this paint plant-based?

Mylands offers various plant-based formulations in their collection; check the specific product label on your container to confirm the composition.

Troubleshooting

Color appears uneven or patchy after drying

This often occurs due to lack of primer. Ensure you are using the recommended Red Primer and Undercoat to provide an even base color.

Paint is showing brush marks

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before you begin, ensure your surface is clean, dry, and free of dust or grease. Using a primer is essential for this product; Mylands recommends their specific Red Primer and Undercoat to even out the surface and improve adhesion. Stir the paint thoroughly before use to ensure the pigments are properly suspended. Apply using high-quality brushes or rollers, maintaining a 'wet edge' to avoid visible lap marks. For care, avoid harsh abrasive cleaners. If cleaning is necessary, gently wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth. Since this is a dead matt finish, it is prone to burnishing if rubbed too vigorously, so use light pressure during maintenance.
