FAQs

Can this paint be used on external doors?

No, Mylands London Brown No.287 is specifically formulated for interior surfaces only.

Do I need a primer for wood?

For bare wood, it is highly recommended to use a suitable wood primer to ensure even absorption and better durability.

Is this paint washable?

Yes, once fully cured, the satin finish is durable and washable with a damp cloth.

How long does it take to dry?

The paint is quick-drying, though exact times can vary based on ambient temperature and humidity.

Can I use this on radiators?

While it works on metal, please ensure the radiator is turned off and completely cool before painting, and check that the surface is properly primed for heat resistance.

What is the best way to clean my brushes?

Since this is a water-based paint, you can clean your tools effectively with warm, soapy water immediately after use.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering well to the surface.

Ensure the surface was sanded to provide a profile and was thoroughly degreased before application.

Visible brush marks after drying.

Use a higher quality synthetic brush and avoid overworking the paint; try to maintain a 'wet edge' while painting.

The finish looks patchy.

This often occurs due to uneven absorption on porous surfaces; apply a suitable primer or base coat first.

Pros and Cons

  • Sophisticated, complex colour profile
  • Highly durable and scuff-resistant
  • Versatile for both wood and metal
  • Quick-drying for efficient project completion
  • Washable finish ideal for high-traffic areas

Cons

  • Requires proper surface preparation for optimal results

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before application, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or flaking old paint. Sand glossy surfaces lightly to provide 'key' for the paint to grip. For metal surfaces, ensure any rust is treated and primed appropriately before application. The paint is compatible with high-quality synthetic brushes or short-pile mohair rollers. Cleanup is straightforward using standard procedures for water-based paints. To maintain the finish, simply wipe down with a damp cloth; avoid abrasive scrubbing pads that might dull the satin sheen over time.
