FAQs

Is this paint suitable for exterior use?

Yes, it is formulated for both interior and exterior applications, including front doors and outdoor trims.

Do I really need a Dark Grey primer?

Yes, using the recommended Dark Grey Primer and Undercoat is essential to achieve the true, rich depth of the London Brown color.

Can I use this on metal surfaces?

Yes, as a multi-surface gloss, it adheres well to properly prepared metal surfaces.

Is this a water-based or oil-based paint?

Mylands London Brown No.287 features a plant-based formula designed to be environmentally conscious.

How should I clean my brushes after use?

Since this is a plant-based formula, clean brushes promptly with warm soapy water according to the specific instructions on the paint tin.

Will this finish hide scratches on my door?

No, because this is a high-shine gloss paint, it will reflect light and likely highlight any surface imperfections.

Troubleshooting

Visible brush marks after drying

Ensure you are using a high-quality synthetic brush and apply thin, even coats rather than one heavy application.

Color appears lighter than expected

Verify that a Dark Grey Primer and Undercoat was used; using a white primer will cause the dark, warm tones to look washed out.

Paint is not adhering well

Ensure the surface was sanded to create a 'key' and is free from wax, grease, or dust before painting.

  • Highly durable and washable surface
  • Eco-conscious plant-based formulation

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best performance, begin by thoroughly cleaning and sanding the substrate to remove any dust or grease. It is highly recommended to use a Dark Grey Primer and Undercoat prior to application; this base color is critical to supporting the deep, complex undertones of London Brown No.287. The paint can be applied using high-quality brushes, rollers, or professional spray equipment. For maintenance, simply wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could dull the high-shine finish over time. Ensure the paint is stored in a cool, dry place and stir well before each use to redistribute pigments.
