FAQs

Does this paint require a special primer?

Yes, we highly recommend using a Dark Grey Primer and Undercoat to achieve the best depth of color.

Is this paint suitable for exterior use?

This specific multi-surface paint is designed primarily for interior applications.

Can I use this on furniture?

Yes, the multi-surface formulation is suitable for properly prepped wood and furniture surfaces.

How do I clean scuffs from the matte finish?

Gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers which can polish the matte finish into a sheen.

Does the red undertone change based on lighting?

Yes, the subtle red undertone adds warmth, making the paint appear more 'navy' in warm light and more 'indigo' in cool, indirect light.

How many coats are typically needed?

For deep colors like No.218, two full coats over a correctly tinted primer generally provide complete coverage.

Troubleshooting

Streaking or patchy coverage on the final coat

This usually indicates the base primer was too light; ensure you are using a Dark Grey Primer and allow the undercoat to dry completely before applying topcoats.

Paint finish appears shiny or uneven

This is often caused by over-brushing; apply in long, even strokes and avoid going over drying paint.

Pros and Cons

Pros

High-quality historical color accuracy
Sophisticated matte finish hides surface blemishes

Cons

Requires a dark-toned primer for optimal results
Highly pigmented colors show scuffs more easily than light shades
Less forgiving during touch-up applications

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For the best results, start by cleaning the surface thoroughly to remove dust and grease. Because Mayfair Dark No.218 is a deep tone, it is essential to use a Dark Grey Primer and Undercoat to build the color foundation, which reduces the number of topcoats required. Use a high-quality synthetic brush or a medium-nap roller for uniform application. Once dried, avoid abrasive cleaners; use a soft, damp microfiber cloth to gently clean scuffs. Keep the container tightly sealed in a cool, dry place when not in use to prevent the paint from skinning.
