FAQs

Can I use this paint inside my house?

This product is specifically formulated as a masonry paint for exterior use. Mylands offers separate ranges, such as Marble Matt Emulsion, for interior walls.

Does Chalk Farm No.53 require a primer?

On most sound masonry surfaces, it can be applied directly, but highly porous or chalky surfaces should be treated with a suitable masonry primer first.

How many coats are typically needed?

For best coverage and durability, we recommend two full coats, ensuring the first coat is completely dry before applying the second.

Is the finish washable?

While the flat matt finish is durable, it is designed primarily for external masonry and is not considered 'washable' in the same sense as an interior silk or satin finish.

What is the best way to clean my brushes?

Since this is a water-based paint, simply wash brushes thoroughly with warm soapy water immediately after you finish painting.

Will the color fade in direct sunlight?

The paint is formulated for exterior durability, but like all pigments, some subtle natural weathering may occur over a long period of intense UV exposure.

Troubleshooting

Paint is flaking shortly after application

This usually indicates the surface was not properly cleaned or contained loose material; remove loose areas, clean thoroughly, and re-prime before repainting.

Visible roller marks or uneven finish

Ensure you are using a roller with the appropriate nap for the wall texture and avoid over-spreading the paint; maintain a 'wet edge' while working.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality flat matt finish
  • Excellent weather resistance for exterior use
  • Sophisticated, warm off-white color profile
  • Durable formulation reduces maintenance frequency

Cons

  • Specific to masonry surfaces
  • Not suitable for interior high-gloss applications
  • Requires proper surface preparation for optimal adhesion

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Ensure your surface is sound, clean, and free from loose paint, dust, or efflorescence before application. For best results, use a high-quality masonry brush or roller designed for textured surfaces. If the masonry is highly porous, a stabilizing primer may be required prior to painting. Store in a cool, dry place and ensure the lid is tightly sealed after use to prevent the paint from drying out. Clean application tools with water immediately after use. This paint is intended for exterior masonry; do not mix with interior-specific emulsions or thinners.
