Product Information

Full details

Mylands Artillery Ground No.164 is a sophisticated deep green-brown paint designed for interior decorators and homeowners seeking a traditional, moody aesthetic. This multi-surface paint provides a professional dead matt finish that excels at hiding surface imperfections and creating a rich, natural atmosphere. While its deep pigmentation offers exceptional coverage, users should note that the dead matt finish is porous and may require extra care in high-traffic areas prone to scuffing or moisture.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this paint suitable for exterior use?

No, this specific formulation is intended for interior surfaces. For exterior projects, look for dedicated masonry or exterior-grade products.

Can I use this on wood furniture?

Yes, it is suitable for multi-surface application, though you may want to apply a clear coat or wax if you anticipate heavy use.

How many coats are typically needed?

For full, deep color opacity, we recommend two full coats, allowing proper drying time in between.

How do I avoid a shiny finish?

Ensure the surface is properly primed and avoid over-working the paint with your roller, which can sometimes polish the finish.

Is this paint low VOC?

Mylands prides itself on high-quality formulations; please check the specific product label for current VOC specifications.

Can I touch up damaged areas later?

Dead matt paints can be tricky to touch up invisibly. It is usually best to repaint the full plane of the wall or feature.

Troubleshooting

Visible roller or brush marks

Ensure you are using a high-quality tool and maintain a wet edge while painting to prevent early drying at the edges.

Uneven color or 'flashing'

This is often caused by uneven surface porosity; apply a coat of primer before your finish coats to ensure consistent absorption.

Scuffing on the finished wall

Because dead matt paint has a more porous structure, lightly dab the area with a damp, soft cloth rather than scrubbing.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated, dark aesthetic perfect for feature walls
  • Excellent at concealing surface irregularities due to the flat finish
  • Versatile application across multiple interior surfaces
  • Provides a true non-reflective matte appearance

Cons

  • Dead matt finishes can be more difficult to wipe clean than glossier sheens
  • Darker colors may show dust and light-colored scuffs more prominently
  • Requires careful preparation to ensure uniform color distribution

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best results with Artillery Ground No.164, ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of grease or loose debris. For porous surfaces, the use of an appropriate primer is recommended to ensure even suction and color uniformity. When applying, maintain a "wet edge" to prevent overlap marks. Since the finish is dead matt, it is inherently less resistant to scrubbing than satin or gloss paints; therefore, treat the painted area with care. To clean, use a soft, damp cloth and avoid harsh chemical cleaners which could burnish or mark the finish. Always store the paint in a cool, dry place and ensure the lid is sealed tightly to prevent skinning.
