FAQs

Do I need a primer for this paint?

Yes, we highly recommend using our Purple Primer and Undercoat to ensure the best finish, improved adhesion, and accurate colour depth.

Can this paint be used on furniture?

Yes, it is designed as a multi-surface paint, making it suitable for interior walls, wood, and other surfaces.

What is a 'Dead Matt' finish?

A Dead Matt finish has almost zero sheen, providing a completely flat, non-reflective appearance that hides wall imperfections.

How should I clean my walls after painting?

Because of the flat nature of the paint, clean only with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbing.

Can I use this for exterior projects?

No, this specific product is intended for interior use. Please look at our specialized masonry paint for exterior applications.

Troubleshooting

Uneven finish or patchy appearance

This is usually caused by inadequate priming. Apply a coat of the recommended Purple Primer and Undercoat to seal the surface porosity.

Visible brush strokes or roller marks

Ensure you are using high-quality application tools and avoid overworking the paint once it begins to set.

Poor adhesion on glossy surfaces

Lightly sand the surface with fine-grit sandpaper to provide a 'key' for the paint, then clean thoroughly before priming.

Pros and Cons

Dead matt finishes are more sensitive to scrubbing

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the professional finish expected from Mylands, surface preparation is vital. Before application, ensure the substrate is clean, dry, and free of dust or grease. We highly recommend using a Purple Primer and Undercoat to even out the surface absorption, which significantly improves both adhesion and the final colour consistency.

Application should be done using high-quality brushes or rollers. Since this is a dead matt finish, avoid aggressive scrubbing during routine maintenance; instead, use a soft, damp microfiber cloth to gently remove dust or marks. Always store the paint in a cool, dry place and ensure the lid is tightly sealed to maintain the integrity of the formula between uses.
