Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before application, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free of grease or debris. If painting over glossy surfaces, lightly sand the area to improve adhesion. For raw or porous materials, use an appropriate primer from Farrow & Ball before applying two coats of Dead Flat. Clean brushes and rollers with warm, soapy water immediately after use to prevent drying. Store the 5L tin in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly sealed to prevent skinning.
