Product Information

Full details

Mylands Plum Tree No.283 is designed for interior decorators and homeowners looking for a sophisticated, warm purple aesthetic with an earthy finish. This paint provides a professional, high-quality, and non-reflective surface that elevates any room, making it an excellent choice for accent walls or furniture. A key caveat to consider is that the dead matt finish is highly absorbent and may show wear more easily in high-traffic areas compared to glossier alternatives.

FAQs

Is Plum Tree No.283 suitable for bathrooms?

This product is primarily for interior surfaces and may not withstand the high humidity levels found in bathrooms.

Can I use this on wood furniture?

Yes, it is a multi-surface paint, but keep in mind the dead matt finish is more delicate on frequently used furniture.

Does this paint require a primer?

While it has excellent coverage, we recommend a primer if you are covering a dark or porous surface to ensure the best finish.

How many coats are typically needed?

For best results, we recommend two full coats to ensure even color depth.

What is the best way to clean brushes after use?

Since this is a water-based emulsion, you can clean brushes thoroughly with warm soapy water.

Can I use this for exterior projects?

No, this formula is specifically designed for interior use.

Troubleshooting

Visible brush strokes or roller marks

Ensure you are using the correct nap roller for your surface and maintain a 'wet edge' while painting to allow for better leveling.

Patchy appearance after first coat

Dead matt paints often require at least two full coats to reach true opacity. Ensure the first coat is fully dry before applying the second.

Paint rubbing off during cleaning

Dead matt finishes are delicate. Always spot test in an inconspicuous area and avoid harsh chemicals; use only water and a soft cloth.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated, warm colour palette
  • Excellent for hiding wall imperfections
  • Highly versatile across multiple interior surfaces
  • Rich, long-lasting pigment depth
  • Professional-grade finish

Cons

  • Dead matt finishes are more prone to scuffing
  • Can be difficult to wipe clean compared to satin or gloss
  • Not suitable for high-moisture exterior environments

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before applying, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free of dust or loose paint. For best results, use a high-quality brush or roller suitable for matt emulsions. Because this is a dead matt paint, avoid heavy scrubbing during routine maintenance; instead, use a soft, slightly damp cloth to gently blot away marks. Store the paint in a cool, dry place and ensure the lid is sealed tightly to prevent skinning. If you are painting over a drastically different colour, apply a suitable primer to ensure the richness of the Plum Tree shade comes through accurately.
