FAQs

Can I use this paint for walls?

This is a gloss finish intended primarily for trims, doors, and architectural details. We recommend using a matt emulsion if you intend to cover large wall areas.

Does this paint work on exterior surfaces?

Yes, its durable nature makes it suitable for exterior trims and front doors.

How long does it take to dry?

Drying times vary based on ambient temperature and humidity; please refer to the tin for current environmental guidelines, but generally, allow 4-6 hours between coats.

Do I need a primer?

Yes, for the best performance and finish longevity, a primer and undercoat are highly recommended.

Is this paint plant-based?

Yes, Mylands Fluorite Violet uses a plant-based formula as part of its commitment to quality ingredients.

Troubleshooting

Visible brush marks after drying

Use a high-quality synthetic brush and apply thinner, more even coats to allow the paint to self-level.

Paint not sticking to the surface

Ensure the surface was sanded, cleaned of all dust, and that a compatible primer/undercoat was applied first.

Finish looks uneven or patchy

This is often a sign of insufficient undercoating. Apply an additional coat of high-quality undercoat before reapplying the gloss paint.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Rich, deep, and luxurious purple pigment
  • Highly durable surface suitable for high-traffic areas
  • Easy to clean and maintain thanks to the gloss finish
  • Compatible with brush, roller, or spray application methods

Cons

  • Requires a primer and undercoat for best results
  • Gloss finishes tend to highlight surface imperfections if not properly prepped
  • Limited to specific interior and exterior trim use cases

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best results, start by preparing the surface: ensure it is clean, dry, and free of grease or loose paint.

  1. Surface Prep: Sand existing surfaces lightly to provide a key for the new paint.
  2. Priming: Always apply a suitable primer and undercoat before the Fluorite Violet topcoat to ensure uniform color depth and strong adhesion.
  3. Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply in thin, even coats rather than one thick layer to avoid sags.
  4. Maintenance: While the finish is washable, use only soft cloths and mild soapy water for cleaning. Avoid abrasive sponges or harsh chemicals that can dull the gloss finish over time.
