Product Information

Full details

Mylands Lemon Salts No.43 is a sophisticated, pale yellow paint designed for homeowners and designers looking to achieve a subtle, citrus-inspired warmth in their interiors. This multi-surface dead matt finish offers excellent versatility and a flat, modern aesthetic that works well in most living spaces. While it provides a high-quality finish, users should be aware that the dead matt texture is highly absorbent and may require extra care in high-traffic areas compared to traditional sheen paints.

FAQs

Can I use this on kitchen cabinets?

While the paint is versatile, the dead matt finish is very porous. For high-use kitchen cabinets, ensure you use a protective clear coat or opt for a finish designed for heavy-duty furniture.

How many coats are typically required?

For best coverage and colour depth, two coats are recommended.

Is this paint suitable for bathroom walls?

Dead matt paints are generally not recommended for areas with high humidity or frequent direct water contact.

Does this paint smell strongly?

Mylands paints are manufactured to high standards, but we always recommend good ventilation during and after application.

How should I clean the brushes after use?

Since this is a multi-surface emulsion, brushes should be cleaned thoroughly with warm soapy water immediately after use.

Will the colour look the same in all lighting?

No, because of the subtle green undertones, the yellow may appear warmer in incandescent lighting and cooler in bright natural morning light.

Troubleshooting

Visible roller marks or streaking

Ensure you maintain a wet edge while painting and avoid over-working the paint as it begins to dry.

Paint finish appears uneven or patchy

This often indicates inconsistent surface porosity; apply a high-quality primer before the second coat.

Dust particles stuck in the finish

Lightly sand the area with fine-grit sandpaper once fully dry, wipe clean, and apply a final touch-up coat.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated, modern dead matt aesthetic
  • Subtle undertones provide warmth without overwhelming the space
  • Highly versatile for use on multiple interior surfaces
  • Excellent for masking minor wall imperfections due to low light reflection

Cons

  • Dead matt finishes can be more prone to scuffing than higher sheen paints
  • May require more thorough surface preparation for even absorption
  • Limited to interior use

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation: Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from grease, dust, or flaking paint. For new or porous surfaces, apply a suitable primer to ensure uniform absorption.

Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply using a brush or roller, maintaining a "wet edge" to prevent lap marks. Generally, two coats are recommended for optimal opacity and depth of colour.

Care: The dead matt surface is susceptible to marking. Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth if necessary, avoiding abrasive sponges or strong chemical cleaners which could damage the flat finish. Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use and store in a cool, dry place to maintain product integrity.
