FAQs

Is this paint suitable for kitchens?

Yes, its durable, washable, and scuff-resistant formula makes it appropriate for high-traffic areas, including kitchens.

Do I really need a primer?

Yes, for the richest color pay-off and longest-lasting finish, a primer and undercoat are highly recommended, specifically the Purple Primer.

Is this paint low-odor?

Yes, it is formulated as a low-VOC paint, which generally results in a much lower odor profile compared to traditional solvent-based paints.

Can I use this on floors?

No, this product is for interior walls and ceilings. Please look for the specific Mylands Decorative Floor Satin Paint variant for flooring projects.

How do I store leftover paint?

Ensure the lid is sealed tightly and store the container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

What kind of finish does this paint have?

It has a 'Marble Matt' finish, which provides a sophisticated, non-reflective appearance that helps hide minor wall imperfections.

Troubleshooting

Color appears streaky after first coat

Dark, saturated colors often require two full coats to achieve uniform depth. Ensure you are using the recommended purple primer.

Scuff marks appearing on the wall

The paint is washable. Use a soft, damp sponge with mild, non-abrasive detergent to gently clean the affected area.

Finish looks patchy or uneven

This is often a result of uneven surface porosity. Applying a dedicated primer and undercoat before the topcoat will seal the wall surface for a consistent finish.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Rich and complex color profile ideal for statement walls
  • Highly durable and scuff-resistant for busy households
  • Low-VOC formula for better indoor air quality
  • Washable finish allows for simple maintenance
  • Professional-grade quality suitable for DIY and professional projects

Cons

  • Requires a specific primer and undercoat for best results
  • Dark, pigmented colors may require more careful preparation than lighter shades
  • Limited to interior use only
  • Darker colors can make small rooms appear smaller if not balanced with lighting

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before application, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free of dust or debris. Because of the depth of the Empire Violet pigment, the manufacturer strongly recommends using a Purple Primer and Undercoat. This base layer helps to even out the surface absorption, ensuring the true color intensity is reached and improving the overall longevity of the finish. For care, avoid harsh abrasive cleaners. Use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap if cleaning is required, wiping gently to maintain the integrity of the matte surface.
