FAQs

Can I use this paint on furniture?

Yes, this paint is designed for use on woodwork and metal, making it suitable for furniture that does not require an extremely high-gloss finish.

Is the London Clay color available in other finishes?

London Clay is part of the Farrow & Ball Archive collection; please check with the retailer for availability in other specific product lines.

How do I clean scuff marks off the wall?

Gently wipe the affected area with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive sponges.

Why is this paint non-returnable?

This paint is part of the Archive collection, meaning it is specially mixed to order just for you.

Does it require a primer?

For best results, especially on new or raw surfaces, we recommend using the appropriate Farrow & Ball primer to ensure a durable and even finish.

Is this paint suitable for humid rooms like bathrooms?

While durable, the Dead Flat finish is optimized for living areas; consult the technical data sheet for specific advice regarding high-moisture environments.

Troubleshooting

Visible brush marks or uneven finish

Ensure you are using high-quality synthetic brushes and avoid over-working the paint as it begins to set.

Paint not sticking to metal surfaces

Ensure the metal surface has been properly primed with a metal-specific primer before applying the Dead Flat finish.

Finish appears shinier than expected

Check that the surface was correctly primed; improper priming or porous surfaces can cause uneven sheen levels.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before application, ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free of loose paint or debris. For best results, use a Farrow & Ball primer to ensure optimal adhesion, especially on bare wood or metal. Apply in thin, even coats, allowing sufficient drying time between applications as recommended for alkyd-based products. Because of the matte finish, it is recommended to avoid heavy scrubbing; instead, use a soft, damp cloth for routine cleaning to maintain the integrity of the flat surface.
