Mylands Indian Lake No.288 is a sophisticated, historical red paint ideal for homeowners and interior designers looking to add a classic or graphic aesthetic to interior spaces. This professional-grade paint is specifically formulated for high-traffic surfaces like woodwork, doors, and trim, offering a smooth and durable finish that withstands daily wear. While it excels in bringing warmth and character to a room, users should note that the intensity of the red pigment requires careful preparation of the underlying surface to ensure consistent color saturation.

No, this specific formulation is designed for interior use only.
Yes, it is formulated to work on metal surfaces, provided they are properly cleaned and primed.
The paint is quick-drying, but exact times vary by humidity and temperature; check the tin for specific touch-dry and recoat intervals.
It is highly recommended to use a primer, especially if painting over bare wood, metal, or significantly different colors.
Use a damp, soft cloth to gently wipe away marks, as the finish is designed to be washable.
Indian Lake No.288 has fewer dark tones, giving it a slightly different, more natural red appearance.
This is common with deep pigments; ensure the surface was properly primed and apply a second coat once the first is completely dry.
Use a high-quality synthetic brush and apply thin, even strokes, allowing the self-leveling properties of the paint to work.
Check that the surface was free of dust, grease, or loose old paint before application; sand and re-prime the area if necessary.
Before starting, ensure your surface is clean and free of grease or debris. For bare wood or metal, apply a suitable primer to help the paint adhere correctly and ensure color accuracy. Stir the paint thoroughly before use to ensure the pigment is evenly distributed. Use high-quality brushes or rollers suited for eggshell formulations to prevent streakiness. Once painted, avoid heavy scrubbing for the first few days to allow the paint to fully cure. For routine cleaning, a damp cloth is sufficient to wipe away marks. Store the tin in a cool, dry place and ensure the lid is sealed tightly to prevent skinning.
