Drawing from the brand’s extensive history within the British film and theatre industries, this paint offers a professional-grade finish that transforms ordinary surfaces into bold visual centerpieces.

FAQs

Is this paint suitable for exterior use?

No, the Mylands FTT-009 range in this variant is specifically formulated for interior applications.

Do I really need to use a primer?

Yes. Using a primer is essential to achieve the true depth of the archival red color and ensures proper adhesion to the surface.

Can I use this on furniture?

Yes, this is a multi-surface paint, making it suitable for furniture, interior walls, and other home accents.

How should I clean my brushes?

As this is a water-based professional paint, brushes can typically be cleaned using warm, soapy water immediately after use.

What is the benefit of a 'dead matt' finish?

A dead matt finish provides an extremely flat, non-reflective surface that is excellent at hiding imperfections and creates a contemporary, high-end look.

Will the color fade over time?

Mylands uses high-quality pigments, but as with any paint, exposure to direct, intense UV light can cause slight changes over many years.

Troubleshooting

The paint color looks patchy or uneven.

This is likely due to lack of a base coat. Always use the recommended Red Primer and Undercoat to provide an even color foundation.

Paint is not adhering well to the surface.

Ensure the surface was properly sanded or cleaned of wax, oils, or dust before painting. Apply a suitable primer.

Brush marks are visible in the finish.

Avoid over-working the paint. Use a high-quality synthetic brush and ensure you are not overloading the bristles with too much product.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve a flawless, long-lasting result, preparation is essential. Mylands strongly recommends the use of their dedicated Red Primer and Undercoat before applying the FTT-009 topcoat; this step is vital for evening out the substrate and maximizing the paint's adhesion.

  1. Surface Prep: Clean the surface thoroughly to remove dust and grease.
  2. Priming: Apply a coat of the recommended Red Primer and allow it to dry completely as per the manufacturer's instructions.
  3. Application: Apply the paint using a high-quality brush or roller. If working on furniture, use light, even strokes to avoid thick build-up in corners.
  4. Maintenance: Because of the matt finish, avoid aggressive scrubbing. If the surface needs cleaning, gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth.
