FAQs

Is this paint suitable for exterior use?

No, Mylands Indian Lake 288 is specifically formulated for interior applications only.

Can I use this on floors?

While this variant is labeled for decorative floors, it is best suited for low-to-medium traffic areas given the satin finish.

How long does it take to dry?

As a water-based formula, it is quick-drying, but we recommend waiting at least 4-6 hours between coats for best results.

Does this paint contain high VOCs?

Mylands utilizes a plant-based, water-based formula which is significantly lower in VOCs compared to traditional oil-based paints.

What kind of brush should I use?

We recommend using a high-quality synthetic filament brush for a smooth, professional application.

Is the finish washable?

Yes, once fully cured, the scuff-resistant surface can be wiped clean with a damp cloth.

Troubleshooting

Visible brush strokes during application

Thin the paint slightly with a small amount of water or use a higher-quality synthetic brush to improve leveling.

Poor adhesion on metal surfaces

Ensure the surface was properly primed with a metal-specific primer before applying the paint.

Uneven sheen across the surface

Apply a second coat once the first has fully cured to build a uniform finish, ensuring the surface was sanded smooth beforehand.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated 40% satin sheen finish
  • Highly durable and scuff-resistant
  • Eco-friendly plant-based formula
  • Easy to clean and maintain
  • Excellent for both wood and metal

Cons

  • Specific 40% sheen may highlight surface imperfections
  • Limited to interior use only
  • Requires proper primer for optimal adhesion

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before application, ensure the substrate is clean, dry, and free of dust or oils. For wood surfaces, sanding is recommended to create a mechanical bond. Metal surfaces should be cleaned and, if necessary, treated with an appropriate primer to prevent oxidation. Apply using a high-quality synthetic brush or fine-nap roller. For maintenance, simply wipe down with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap when necessary. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these may diminish the satin finish over time.
