FAQs

Can this paint be used on exterior surfaces?

No, this specific product is formulated for interior use on wood and metal surfaces.

Do I absolutely need to use a primer?

While the paint is high-quality, using a primer is highly recommended to ensure proper adhesion and to even out the surface color.

How long does it take to dry?

The paint is quick-drying, though exact times vary based on humidity and temperature. Always check for tackiness before applying subsequent coats.

What is the best tool for application?

You can achieve excellent results with a high-quality brush or a fine-nap roller. For larger flat surfaces, spray equipment can also be used.

Is the finish matte or glossy?

It is an eggshell finish, which provides a subtle sheen that is easier to clean than a flat matte but less reflective than a full gloss.

Troubleshooting

The paint is peeling or not sticking to the surface

Ensure the surface was properly primed and sanded. If the surface was greasy or dusty, clean it thoroughly before reapplying.

Visible brush marks after drying

Use a higher quality synthetic brush and apply thinner coats. Overworking the paint while it is drying can cause uneven texture.

Color appears uneven or patchy

This is often due to an inconsistent application of the base primer. Apply an additional coat of paint, ensuring even coverage across the entire area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best performance from your Mylands paint, proper surface preparation is vital. Before application, ensure the substrate is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease.

  1. Preparation: Sand down glossy surfaces to provide a 'key' for the paint and remove any loose flakes or old paint.
  2. Priming: Always apply a suitable primer to even out the surface and ensure long-lasting adhesion, particularly on bare wood or metal.
  3. Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply thin, even coats using a high-quality brush or roller.
  4. Care: While the paint is washable, avoid harsh chemical cleaners. Use a damp, soft cloth to clean surfaces as needed. Allow the paint to fully cure before placing heavy items on the finished surface.
