FAQs

Can I use this paint in a bathroom or kitchen?

While durable, the Dead Flat finish is primarily intended for living areas and hallways; always check technical specifications for high-humidity environments.

How many coats are typically required?

For most surfaces, two full coats are recommended to achieve a uniform, rich finish and full color depth.

Does this paint work on radiators?

Yes, as the formula is designed for woodwork and metal, it can be used on radiators, provided the surface is cool and properly primed.

What is the best way to clean scuffs off the wall?

Use a soft, damp cloth or sponge with a mild soap solution. Avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive cleaners that could damage the flat finish.

How does the colour change in different lighting?

Mouses Back features green undertones which tend to become more noticeable in rooms with less natural light.

Is this paint water-based?

Yes, the product is water-based, making cleanup easier while maintaining the high performance of an alkyd resin.

Troubleshooting

Visible brush marks or uneven texture

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

Paint not adhering well to surface

Verify that the surface was properly cleaned and primed prior to application; ensure all previous gloss or contaminants were removed.

Finish appears patchy

Ensure consistent stirring of the paint before and during application to prevent pigment separation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before application, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose paint or dust. For optimal results, apply a suitable primer to ensure the alkyd resin adheres correctly. When applying, use high-quality brushes or rollers suitable for water-based paints to achieve the smoothest finish. Once applied, allow sufficient drying time between coats as specified by the product label. For ongoing care, light cleaning with a damp, non-abrasive cloth is sufficient to remove marks or dust, keeping the matte finish intact.
