Mylands Indian Lake 288 is a premium, plant-based water-based paint designed for homeowners and professionals looking to achieve a refined, 18th-century inspired red finish on interior surfaces. Ideal for woodwork, trim, and metal, it offers a sophisticated 40% sheen satin finish that is both scuff-resistant and washable, though its specific sheen level requires careful surface preparation to ensure an even, professional appearance.

No, Mylands Indian Lake 288 is specifically formulated for interior applications only.
While this variant is labeled for decorative floors, it is best suited for low-to-medium traffic areas given the satin finish.
As a water-based formula, it is quick-drying, but we recommend waiting at least 4-6 hours between coats for best results.
Mylands utilizes a plant-based, water-based formula which is significantly lower in VOCs compared to traditional oil-based paints.
We recommend using a high-quality synthetic filament brush for a smooth, professional application.
Yes, once fully cured, the scuff-resistant surface can be wiped clean with a damp cloth.
Thin the paint slightly with a small amount of water or use a higher-quality synthetic brush to improve leveling.
Ensure the surface was properly primed with a metal-specific primer before applying the paint.
Apply a second coat once the first has fully cured to build a uniform finish, ensuring the surface was sanded smooth beforehand.
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.
