Product Information

Full details

The Farrow & Ball Dead Flat paint in Card Room Green is an ideal choice for homeowners and interior designers looking to achieve a sophisticated, matte finish in high-traffic areas like hallways and living rooms. This premium, English-crafted paint is specifically formulated for versatility across walls, woodwork, and metal, offering a unique blend of vintage aesthetic and modern scuff-resistant durability. While its deep, dark grey-green tone provides a strong, moody atmosphere, users should be aware that the highly flat finish requires careful application to ensure uniform coverage.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this paint in a kitchen or bathroom?

While it is durable, Dead Flat is best suited for low-to-medium moisture areas; it is not formulated for extreme humidity or direct water contact.

How many coats are recommended?

For full color depth and durability, we recommend two full coats over a properly primed surface.

What is the finish level compared to Estate Emulsion?

Dead Flat is significantly flatter and more matte than Estate Emulsion, while simultaneously offering higher durability for multi-surface use.

Is this paint water-based or oil-based?

This paint uses a modern, high-performance alkyd resin formulation which provides the benefits of traditional oil finishes with easier cleanup.

Can I use Card Room Green on radiators?

Yes, because this paint is designed for metal as well as wood, it can be used on radiators, provided they are not excessively hot to the touch.

How do I clean brushes after using this?

Since this is an alkyd resin-based paint, follow the instructions on the tin regarding cleaning; warm soapy water is typically sufficient.

Troubleshooting

Uneven finish or 'flashing'

Ensure the surface is properly primed and avoid overworking the paint with your brush or roller; maintain a 'wet edge' while painting.

Paint not adhering to surface

Clean the surface thoroughly to remove oils or dust and apply a suitable Farrow & Ball primer before painting.

Scuffing despite 'scuff-resistant' claim

Allow the paint to cure fully for the recommended time (usually several days) before subjecting it to high-traffic wear.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated, ultra-matte aesthetic
  • Highly durable and scuff-resistant for high-traffic areas
  • Versatile application on wood, walls, and metal
  • Rich, complex color depth

Cons

  • Flat finish can be more challenging to touch up seamlessly
  • Requires proper surface preparation for optimal adhesion
  • Limited to interior use

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before applying, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from debris or previous loose paint. For new wood or metal, use an appropriate primer to ensure the alkyd resin adheres correctly. When applying, use a high-quality synthetic brush or roller to maintain the integrity of the dead flat finish. Avoid over-brushing, which can disrupt the leveling of the paint. Once cured, the finish is designed to be wiped down with a damp cloth if marks occur. Always store the tin in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly sealed to prevent skinning or drying out. For large projects, ensure proper ventilation in the room while the paint is drying.
