Product Information

Full details

Farrow & Ball Dead Flat Paint in Slipper Satin is an ideal choice for homeowners and designers seeking a sophisticated, ultra-matte finish for walls, woodwork, and metal. This high-quality paint offers an elegant, vintage-inspired look while providing impressive durability and scuff resistance, making it suitable for high-traffic areas like hallways and living rooms.

FAQs

Can I use Slipper Satin on metal?

Yes, this formula is specifically designed to be suitable for metal surfaces, provided they are correctly primed.

Does Slipper Satin have blue undertones?

No, Slipper Satin is a neutral off-white that lacks cool blue undertones, often appearing as a pale grey chalk.

Is this paint washable?

Yes, it is formulated to be durable and scuff-resistant, making it easy to clean with a damp cloth once fully cured.

What is the finish of this paint?

It features an ultra-matte, 'dead flat' finish, which provides a non-reflective and highly elegant appearance.

What should I pair Slipper Satin with?

It pairs beautifully with 'Old White' woodwork or other shades from the Farrow & Ball Traditional Neutrals collection.

How much area does a 2.5L can cover?

Coverage typically depends on surface porosity, but 2.5L is generally sufficient for a standard-sized room feature or a medium-sized project.

Troubleshooting

Visible brush strokes or roller marks

Ensure you are using a high-quality tool and maintaining a 'wet edge' during application to allow the paint to self-level.

Uneven finish or sheen inconsistencies

This is often caused by inadequate surface priming or applying the paint too thinly. Apply a second, even coat after the first has completely dried.

Paint not adhering to the surface

Verify that the surface was thoroughly cleaned of dust, grease, and loose debris before application.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated ultra-matte aesthetic
  • Highly durable and scuff-resistant
  • Suitable for multiple surfaces including metal and wood
  • Warm, neutral undertones without cold blue casts

Cons

  • Requires proper surface preparation for best results
  • May require more precise brushwork due to its flat finish
  • Limited to 2.5L and 5L sizes for specific project scales

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best performance from your Farrow & Ball Dead Flat paint, always begin with a clean, dry, and primed surface. Proper surface preparation is critical to achieving the desired depth of color and the characteristic flat finish.

  • Compatibility: Can be applied to walls, interior woodwork, and primed metal surfaces. Always test a small area first if applying over existing, non-Farrow & Ball coatings.
  • Application: Use high-quality synthetic brushes or rollers designed for water-based paints. Ensure the environment is well-ventilated during application.
  • Care: Allow the paint to fully cure before heavy cleaning. For routine maintenance, a gentle wipe with a soft, damp cloth is typically sufficient to maintain the scuff-resistant surface.
