Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve professional results, start by ensuring all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. If painting over previously glossed woodwork, lightly sand the surface to improve adhesion. For optimal color depth, apply a Farrow & Ball primer-undercoat in the recommended tone for Hague Blue before applying two full coats of the Dead Flat paint. When cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth with mild soapy water; avoid abrasive sponges or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can disturb the ultra-matte finish. Always store cans in a cool, dry place and ensure the lid is sealed tightly to prevent skinning.
