This guide is for homeowners and designers seeking a high-shine, durable paint finish for interior and exterior projects. The Farrow & Ball Dimpse Full Gloss offers a sophisticated, cool grey with subtle blue undertones that adds glamour and protection. A potential caveat is that its high-gloss finish requires a meticulously prepared surface for optimal results.

Drying times can vary, but typically, the paint is touch dry in 2-4 hours and ready for a second coat after 4-6 hours. Allow longer in cooler or more humid conditions.
Yes, Farrow & Ball Full Gloss is suitable for use on radiators, providing a durable and attractive finish. Ensure the radiator is clean and cool before painting.
Two coats are generally recommended for best coverage and to achieve the full depth of color and sheen. A primer coat is also essential for optimal results, especially on bare surfaces.
Yes, Farrow & Ball Full Gloss is extremely durable and resistant to water damage, flaking, peeling, and fading, making it an excellent choice for exterior metalwork like railings.
Clean your brushes and any other application tools with water immediately after use. For the painted surface, a gentle wipe with a damp cloth is recommended.
Full Gloss is Farrow & Ball's highest sheen finish, offering a super-shiny, highly reflective surface. Modern Eggshell has a lower sheen (around 40%), offering a more subtle, yet still very durable, finish.
Yes, you can paint over existing gloss paint, but it is crucial to prepare the surface first. Lightly sand the existing gloss to create a key for the new paint to adhere to, then clean thoroughly.
Ensure the surface is properly cleaned, dry, and primed. Lightly sand the surface if it's too smooth. Check for any residual contaminants like oil or grease.
Ensure paint is thoroughly stirred. Apply in thin, even coats using a high-quality brush. Avoid overworking the paint. Allow sufficient drying time between coats.
Color can vary based on lighting conditions and surface type. Test the color in the intended location under various light conditions before committing to a full application.
Ensure the paint has been stored correctly. Do not thin unless specifically instructed by the manufacturer for specific application methods. Try applying in a warmer environment if the paint is cold.
Surface Preparation: Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and flaking paint. For best results on previously painted surfaces, lightly sand to create a key. Prime new or bare surfaces with the appropriate Farrow & Ball primer.
Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply with a good quality brush or roller, working in even strokes. Two coats are typically recommended for optimal coverage and sheen. Allow adequate drying time between coats as per product instructions.
Compatibility: Suitable for interior and exterior wood, metal, walls, and ceilings. Ensure the surface is appropriate for a high-gloss finish.
Care: Clean application tools with water immediately after use. For the painted surface, wipe gently with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the high-gloss finish.
