FAQs

Can I use this paint on walls?

This specific variant is formulated for interior woodwork, trim, and metal surfaces. For walls, consider the Mylands Marble Matt Emulsion range.

Is this paint washable?

Yes, once the paint has fully cured, the eggshell finish is durable and washable.

How many coats do I need?

Depending on the color of the substrate underneath, typically two coats are sufficient for a solid, rich finish.

Does it have a strong odor?

Mylands paints are designed to be high-quality, but always ensure the room is well-ventilated during and after application.

Can I use this on metal radiators?

Yes, this paint is suitable for interior metal surfaces, provided the surface has been primed correctly for metal use.

How long does it take to dry?

The paint is quick-drying, but please refer to the tin for specific recoating times as environmental conditions can vary.

Troubleshooting

The finish appears uneven or patchy.

Apply an additional thin coat to ensure consistent opacity and allow proper drying time between layers.

Paint is not adhering well to the surface.

Ensure the surface was properly cleaned and sanded (keyed) before application, or apply a dedicated primer first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before applying Mayfair Dark No.218, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. For raw wood or metal surfaces, a suitable primer should be applied first to ensure longevity. Use a fine-grit sandpaper to lightly key the surface if you are painting over existing gloss or semi-gloss finishes. Apply the paint using a professional-grade brush or roller, allowing the recommended drying time between coats. Once the final coat is applied, allow it to cure fully before subjecting it to heavy impact or cleaning. Keep the container sealed tightly when not in use and store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
