FAQs

Can I return this paint if I change my mind?

No, as this is an Archive collection paint, it is made to order specifically for you and cannot be returned.

Is London Stone suitable for high-traffic areas?

Dead Flat is best suited for walls and ceilings; for high-traffic woodwork, you may want to consider a higher sheen finish for added durability.

What does 'Dead Flat' mean?

It refers to the finish's low-sheen level, which reflects very little light, creating a smooth, soft, and sophisticated look.

Does this paint contain strong odors?

Farrow & Ball water-based paints are low-odor, making them more pleasant to work with indoors compared to traditional solvent-based paints.

Can I use London Stone on exterior masonry?

No, this specific product and finish are designed for interior use only.

Troubleshooting

Uneven finish or "flashing"

Ensure you are using the correct Farrow & Ball primer and avoid working in direct sunlight or drafty areas which cause the paint to dry too quickly.

Visible roller marks

Use a medium-pile roller and ensure the surface is properly primed. Apply a consistent, even coat without pressing too hard on the roller.

Paint not adhering to surface

Clean the substrate of all grease, dust, and loose material, and ensure a compatible primer is used before application.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Ultra-matte finish adds high-end, contemporary sophistication.
  • Warm magenta undertones prevent the brown from feeling cold or flat.
  • Excellent for creating seamless looks between walls and trim.
  • Highly pigmented for superior depth and light absorption.

Cons

  • Non-returnable due to being custom-mixed as part of the Archive collection.
  • Requires careful preparation to ensure a smooth, matte finish.
  • Limited to interior use only.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before applying Dead Flat London Stone, ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and properly primed with the appropriate Farrow & Ball primer-undercoat. Use high-quality synthetic brushes or rollers to ensure an even application. Because this is a high-pigment, ultra-matte product, avoid over-brushing while the paint is drying to maintain the intended finish. For maintenance, gently dust surfaces with a dry microfiber cloth; avoid harsh cleaning agents which may polish or mar the flat texture. Always store containers in a cool, dry environment and ensure the lid is tightly sealed to prevent skinning.
