FAQs

Can I use this paint on furniture?

Yes, it is a multi-surface paint, though you should ensure the surface is properly primed and sanded before application.

How many coats are typically needed?

For deep, rich colors like Lead Grey, two coats are recommended for full coverage and color depth.

Is this paint environmentally friendly?

Yes, it features a plant-based formula designed with sustainability in mind.

Does the dead matt finish require special cleaning?

Dead matt finishes are more delicate; use only a soft, slightly damp cloth for cleaning and avoid harsh chemical cleaners.

Can this be applied with a spray gun?

Yes, the formula is compatible with professional spray equipment; consult your sprayer's manual for thinning recommendations.

Is a primer strictly necessary?

While it can be applied directly to some surfaces, using a primer is highly recommended to improve adhesion and achieve the best visual results.

Troubleshooting

Uneven color or streaking after first coat

Ensure the surface was primed adequately; dark colors often require at least two full coats to reach true opacity.

Paint finish appears too shiny

This is likely due to over-application or inadequate stirring; ensure paint is well-mixed and apply thin, even coats.

Difficulty covering light-colored surfaces

Use a tinted primer that matches the dark grey shade to reduce the number of coats required.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated, deep, and moody color profile
  • Non-reflective dead matt finish minimizes surface defects
  • High-quality, professional-grade plant-based formula
  • Flexible application methods for diverse surfaces

Cons

  • Requires proper surface priming for best adhesion
  • Darker colors may show scuffs more readily than lighter shades
  • Limited to dead matt finish, which may not suit high-traffic areas requiring washability

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best results, start with a clean, dry, and dust-free surface. It is strongly recommended to apply a suitable primer before painting, as this promotes even color distribution and strengthens the bond between the paint and the substrate. Always stir the paint thoroughly before use to ensure the pigment is evenly suspended. For maintenance, avoid abrasive cleaners which can damage the dead matt finish. Instead, use a soft, damp cloth for light dusting or spot cleaning. Store the tin in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly sealed to prevent the paint from drying out between uses.
