FAQs

Can I use this paint on floors?

No, this product is the Multi-Surface Dead Matt version. For floor projects, please refer to the specialized Huguenot Decorative Floor Satin range.

Do I really need a primer?

While not strictly mandatory on every surface, we strongly recommend using the Dark Red Primer and Undercoat to ensure the richest color depth and proper adhesion.

Is this paint washable?

The dead matt finish is aesthetic and highly absorbent; it is not designed for heavy-duty scrubbing. Use a damp cloth gently if needed.

What is the finish like?

It is a dead matt finish, which means it has almost zero sheen and provides a soft, chalky, and elegant appearance.

Can I use this for exterior projects?

This paint is specifically formulated for interior use. Using it externally may result in premature fading or failure due to weather exposure.

Troubleshooting

Color appears uneven or patchy

Ensure a Dark Red Primer was applied first to unify the base color and improve surface suction.

Paint is chipping or peeling shortly after application

The surface was likely not cleaned or sanded properly; ensure all loose paint, dust, and grease are removed before repainting.

Cons

Requires a specific Dark Red Primer for best results
Dead matt finishes can be more susceptible to marking than higher-sheen paints
Requires careful preparation of surfaces to ensure adhesion

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Proper preparation is essential for a flawless finish with Huguenot No.49. Before beginning, ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease.

Preparation: Sand glossy surfaces lightly to provide a key for the paint to grip.
Priming: To achieve the truest color and longevity, apply the recommended Dark Red Primer and Undercoat. This creates a uniform base that prevents the substrate from affecting the paint's final appearance.
Application: Use high-quality brushes or rollers suitable for water-based paints. Apply in thin, even coats to avoid pooling, allowing for full drying time between layers.
Care: Clean tools with water immediately after use. Since this is a dead matt finish, avoid aggressive scrubbing; if cleaning is necessary, use a soft, damp cloth and gentle dabbing motions to prevent burnishing the paint surface.
