Product Information

Full details

Mylands Chalk Farm No.53 is a sophisticated, creamy off-white paint designed for homeowners and designers who want a warm, light-reflecting neutral with subtle yellow undertones. Perfect for creating a cozy, high-end atmosphere in living spaces or bedrooms, this paint offers a beautiful dead matt finish that hides surface imperfections; however, users should note that as a flat finish, it is less scrubbable than high-gloss alternatives and requires a dedicated primer for the best longevity.

FAQs

Does Chalk Farm No.53 require a primer?

Yes, for the best results and durability, we recommend using the Mylands White Primer and Undercoat to ensure even surface adhesion.

Can I use this paint in a bathroom?

While it is a high-quality paint, the dead matt finish is porous and may struggle in areas with high humidity or frequent moisture unless sealed properly.

Is this paint suitable for exterior use?

No, Chalk Farm No.53 is designed specifically for interior applications.

How many square meters does a 250ml tin cover?

Coverage depends on surface porosity, but generally, 250ml is sufficient for small furniture pieces or a single accent area.

How do I clean the paint brushes after use?

Since this is a water-based paint, you can clean your brushes thoroughly with warm soapy water immediately after application.

Troubleshooting

Visible brush strokes in the finish

Ensure you are using a high-quality synthetic brush and avoid over-working the paint as it begins to tack up.

Paint is peeling or flaking shortly after application

This usually indicates inadequate surface preparation. Strip the affected area, sand smooth, apply the recommended White Primer and Undercoat, and repaint.

The color looks uneven across the wall

Verify that the paint was stirred thoroughly before application, as heavy pigments can settle at the bottom of the can.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the signature Mylands finish, surface preparation is vital. Before applying Chalk Farm No.53, ensure the area is clean, dry, and free of dust or grease. We strongly recommend using the Mylands White Primer and Undercoat, which acts as a foundational bridge to improve adhesion and ensure the paint color appears true to the swatch. For cleaning, avoid harsh scrubbing brushes; instead, use a soft, damp microfiber cloth to gently dab away surface debris. Always keep the lid tightly sealed when not in use to prevent the paint from drying out, especially with the smaller 250ml container.
