FAQs

Does this paint require a primer?

Yes, for optimal results and long-lasting adhesion, we strongly recommend using a primer before applying the paint.

Can this be used on furniture?

Yes, as a multi-surface paint, it can be applied to furniture, provided the surface is properly cleaned, sanded, and primed first.

Is the finish washable?

The dead matt finish is elegant but less resistant to heavy scrubbing than gloss paints; it is best cleaned with a light, damp cloth.

What kind of lighting does this grey work best in?

The subtle warm undertones in Gravel Lane No.169 make it versatile, performing beautifully in both natural daylight and warm artificial lighting.

How long does it take to dry?

Drying times can vary based on humidity and temperature, but generally, it is touch-dry within a few hours, though allow for full curing before subjecting to heavy use.

Troubleshooting

The paint appears patchy or uneven after drying.

This often indicates insufficient priming or poor surface preparation. Apply an additional thin, even coat and ensure the surface was properly sealed with a primer first.

Visible brush marks or roller stippling.

Ensure you are using the correct tool for the surface and maintain a 'wet edge' while painting to allow the finish to level out naturally as it dries.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Subtle warm undertones make the space feel cozy
  • Highly versatile across multiple interior surfaces
  • Professional-grade consistency and coverage

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting, ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of dust or grease. Always apply a high-quality primer compatible with your specific surface type (wood, plaster, or previously painted surfaces) to improve adhesion and color depth. For care, avoid using harsh abrasive cleaners on the finished paint, as the dead matt surface can be sensitive to aggressive scrubbing. Instead, use a soft, damp microfiber cloth to gently wipe away any dust or surface marks as they occur.
