FAQs

Can I use this paint on exterior surfaces?

No, Dead Flat is strictly formulated for interior use on walls, woodwork, and metal.

Is De Nimes a dark or light blue?

De Nimes is a mid-tone, grounded blue that feels elegant and understated, inspired by vintage workwear.

How many coats are typically required?

For full color depth and durability, we recommend two full coats, following the recommended drying times between applications.

Does this paint require a specific primer?

Yes, using a compatible Farrow & Ball primer ensures the best finish and longevity, especially on porous surfaces or bare wood.

How do I clean scuffs off the wall?

Use a soft cloth dampened with mild, soapy water. Avoid scrubbing aggressively to maintain the flat finish.

Troubleshooting

Paint appears patchy or uneven.

Ensure the surface was primed correctly and that you are maintaining a 'wet edge' during application to avoid overlap marks.

Poor adhesion on woodwork.

Ensure the surface has been properly sanded and cleaned of all dust and oils before applying the primer.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before applying Dead Flat paint, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free of grease or loose paint. For new wood or metal, use an appropriate Farrow & Ball primer to ensure proper bonding. Apply using a high-quality synthetic brush or a medium-nap roller for an even finish. To care for the paint after curing, use a soft, damp cloth with mild soapy water to remove scuffs or marks. Avoid abrasive sponges or harsh chemicals that may compromise the flat matte finish.
