FAQs

Can I use this paint on metal surfaces?

Yes, the Dead Flat formula is specifically designed to be compatible with metal, provided the surface is properly prepped and primed.

What is the sheen level of this paint?

This paint features a 'dead flat' finish, which corresponds to a 2% sheen level.

Is Ammonite a warm or cool grey?

Ammonite is a subtle, understated grey with a calm, neutral feel, making it versatile for various lighting conditions.

How do I clean scuffs off the wall?

Simply use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe the affected area.

Can I use this in a bathroom?

While durable, it is best suited for low-moisture areas; avoid using it in areas prone to direct water contact or extreme steam.

Does it require a special primer?

For best results, use a Farrow & Ball primer that matches the porosity of your substrate.

Troubleshooting

Visible brush marks after drying

Ensure you are using a high-quality synthetic brush and apply thin, even coats, allowing sufficient drying time between layers.

Paint is not adhering well

Check that the surface was properly cleaned and primed. Old paint or grease residue can prevent the alkyd resin from bonding.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated ultra-matte finish
  • Highly durable for high-traffic areas
  • Versatile use across walls, wood, and metal
  • Scuff-resistant and easy to clean
  • Authentic, high-quality ingredient formulation

Cons

  • Requires careful surface preparation
  • Larger 5L size may be too much for minor touch-ups
  • Drying times may vary based on environmental humidity

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before application, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. For optimal results, use an appropriate Farrow & Ball primer to ensure adhesion, especially on porous or previously painted surfaces. Apply using a high-quality brush or roller to maintain the integrity of the resin-based formula. To clean, use a soft, damp cloth or sponge; avoid harsh chemical cleaners that may compromise the matte surface. Store the paint in a cool, dry place and ensure the lid is tightly sealed between uses to prevent skinning.
