Full details

FAQs

Is this paint suitable for all interior surfaces?

Yes, this is a multi-surface formula, but it is specifically designed for interior application.

Can I use this paint in a bathroom?

While it is a multi-surface paint, the dead matt finish is porous. Ensure the area is well-ventilated and avoid areas with direct water contact.

What should I pair this colour with?

Millbank No.254 pairs beautifully with clean whites or warm, off-white neutrals to create a balanced contrast.

How many coats are typically required?

Typically, two coats are recommended to achieve full, even colour depth.

What is the finish like?

The finish is a 'dead matt,' meaning it has very low sheen and provides a soft, non-reflective appearance.

Is the paint easy to clean?

Dead matt finishes are generally less scrubbable than gloss or satin finishes. Use a very soft, damp cloth for light surface dusting.

Troubleshooting

Uneven finish or patches

Ensure the surface is properly primed and sealed before applying the topcoat.

Paint showing brush marks

Use a high-quality synthetic brush and ensure you maintain a 'wet edge' while painting.

Colour appears lighter than expected

Apply an additional coat; dark, deep pigments often require two full coats to reach their intended depth.

Pros and Cons

Cons

  • Requires proper surface preparation for optimal results

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before application, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from grease or loose debris. Use a high-quality brush or roller suitable for matt emulsions to achieve the best finish. For porous or new surfaces, apply an appropriate primer to ensure uniform absorption. Between coats, allow the paint to dry fully as recommended by the manufacturer. Clean tools immediately after use with water or the specified solvent. Store remaining paint in a cool, dry place and ensure the lid is tightly sealed to prevent skinning.
