FAQs

Can I use this paint on kitchen cabinets?

Yes, the Dead Flat formula is designed for woodwork and is durable enough for kitchen cabinets provided the surface is properly primed and cleaned.

Is this paint water-based or oil-based?

Dead Flat uses a sophisticated alkyd resin formula that provides the benefits of traditional oils with improved modern application and safety standards.

How many coats are recommended?

For the best color depth and durability, we recommend two full coats, allowing for the recommended drying time between applications.

What is the best way to clean the painted surface?

Use a soft, lint-free cloth dampened with warm water and a very mild soap solution if necessary. Avoid scrubbing.

Does the De Nimes shade change in different lighting?

Yes, like many blues, De Nimes will appear more vibrant in bright, natural light and deeper or more muted in dim, evening lighting.

Is this paint suitable for exterior use?

No, this specific product is formulated for interior use on walls, woodwork, and metal.

Troubleshooting

Visible roller marks after drying

Ensure you are using a high-quality medium-pile roller and avoid overworking the paint as it begins to set.

Paint peeling or flaking

This is typically caused by insufficient surface preparation or failure to use a primer on non-porous surfaces. Strip back, sand, and re-prime before repainting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Proper preparation is the foundation of a professional result with Dead Flat paint. Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust or grease before application. For new or bare surfaces, apply an appropriate Farrow & Ball primer to ensure the paint bonds correctly. When applying to metal, ensure it is properly degreased and primed. To maintain the finish, avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemicals; a soft, damp cloth is sufficient for removing minor marks. Always store the 5L tin in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly sealed to prevent the formula from skinning over.
