Product Information

Full details

Mylands Messel 39 is a high-performance, plant-based satin paint designed for homeowners and professionals looking to add a rich, intense olive tone to interior woodwork and metal surfaces. Its key benefit is a durable, scuff-resistant finish that stands up to daily wear while maintaining a sophisticated aesthetic; however, users should note that the satin finish requires proper surface preparation to achieve the best results without showing imperfections.

FAQs

Is this paint suitable for exterior use?

No, Mylands Messel 39 is specifically formulated for interior applications.

Can I use this on metal radiators?

Yes, provided the surface is clean, dry, and a suitable metal primer is used if the radiator is unpainted or bare.

How long does it take to dry?

The paint is fast-drying, but exact times depend on ambient temperature and humidity. Always refer to the tin for specific recoat intervals.

Is this paint safe for furniture that children touch?

Once fully cured, the paint provides a durable and washable surface. However, always ensure the paint is completely dry and cured according to the manufacturer's instructions before heavy use.

Do I need a special primer?

For most previously painted interior surfaces, a primer is not strictly necessary unless the existing color is very dark or the surface is highly porous.

Can I thin the paint for spraying?

While the paint is designed for easy application, check the technical data sheet or consult with Mylands support if you intend to dilute the formula for specific spray equipment.

Troubleshooting

Paint is peeling shortly after application.

Ensure the surface was cleaned of all dust, oil, and grease prior to painting. If the surface was glossy, it may require sanding for better mechanical adhesion.

Visible brush marks in the finish.

Apply using a high-quality synthetic brush and avoid over-working the paint once it begins to set. Using a light sanding between coats can also help achieve a smoother final layer.

Paint not covering in one coat.

Mylands Messel 39 is designed for multiple coats to achieve maximum color depth. Apply at least two coats, allowing for the recommended drying time in between.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Rich, deep olive color profile
  • Excellent durability for high-traffic woodwork
  • Environmentally conscious plant-based formula
  • Easy to clean and maintain
  • Versatile application across different surface types

Cons

  • Satin finish may highlight surface defects if not primed properly
  • Requires careful preparation of metal surfaces for best adhesion
  • Limited to interior use

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before application, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free of grease or loose material. If painting over glossy surfaces, lightly sand the area to improve adhesion. For raw wood or porous materials, use an appropriate primer to seal the surface.

Application can be achieved with synthetic brushes or short-pile rollers for flat surfaces. For larger areas or complex trim, professional spray equipment is compatible. Once finished, clean tools immediately with warm soapy water while the paint is still wet. To maintain the finish, use a soft, damp cloth for cleaning; avoid harsh chemical cleaners which can dull the satin sheen over time.
