FAQs

Can I use Inchyra Blue on exterior doors?

While it is durable for interior woodwork and metal, please check product technical data if specifically looking for exterior-grade products, as this paint is primarily optimized for interior high-traffic environments.

How many coats are typically needed?

For best depth of colour and coverage, we recommend at least two full coats, allowing adequate drying time between applications.

Does this paint contain a sheen?

No, it features a 'dead flat' finish, which is effectively matte with virtually no light reflection.

Is it safe for use in kitchens?

Yes, its scuff-resistant and easy-clean nature makes it suitable for many areas, though it should be kept away from direct heat sources or areas prone to heavy splashing.

How do I choose the right primer?

Farrow & Ball recommends using their own system-matched primers to ensure optimal adhesion and true colour representation.

Troubleshooting

Visible brush marks or streaks

Ensure you are using a high-quality synthetic brush and applying thin, even coats to allow for proper leveling.

Finish looks uneven or patchy

This is often due to an improperly prepared surface. Ensure the surface is sanded smooth and correctly primed before applying the final coat.

Paint is not adhering well to metal

Ensure the metal surface is degreased and treated with a suitable metal primer before application.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated matte finish
  • Highly durable for high-traffic zones
  • Versatile application on metal, wood, and walls
  • Scuff-resistant properties
  • Rich, complex colour that reacts to light

Cons

  • Requires proper surface preparation for best results
  • 2.5L size may need careful planning for large room projects
  • Appearance varies significantly based on light, which may require testing

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before applying, ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of dust or oils to achieve the desired dead-flat finish. This product is compatible with a variety of surfaces, including previously painted wood and properly primed metal. For best results, use high-quality brushes or rollers. Once cured, the finish is designed to be wiped clean with a damp cloth if marks occur. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these may damage the specialized matte surface. Always store the tin in a cool, dry place and ensure the lid is sealed tightly after each use to prevent skinning.
