FAQs

Is Messel No.39 suitable for high-traffic areas?

While durable, the dead-matt finish is more susceptible to scuffs than higher-sheen paints, so it is best suited for low-to-medium traffic areas or cabinetry.

Can I use this paint in a kitchen?

Yes, it is suitable for kitchen cabinetry, provided the surfaces are properly prepped and primed for the specific substrate.

How many coats are typically required?

We recommend two full coats to achieve the true depth and intensity of the pigment, depending on the base color of the surface.

Is the paint low odor?

Mylands focuses on high-quality, eco-conscious formulations designed for a better experience during and after application.

Can I spray this paint?

Yes, it is formulated for application via brush, roller, or professional spray equipment.

What should I use to clean the surface?

Use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbing, as these can alter the appearance of the matt finish.

Troubleshooting

Uneven finish or "flashing"

Ensure the surface is properly primed and use consistent pressure during application to avoid uneven paint distribution.

Poor adhesion on cabinets

Lightly sand the substrate to provide a mechanical key and ensure the surface is thoroughly cleaned of oils before painting.

Visible brush strokes

Use a high-quality synthetic filament brush and avoid overworking the paint as it begins to tack up.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Elegant and rich olive green color profile
  • Eco-conscious, plant-based ingredients
  • Ultra-smooth, non-reflective dead matt appearance
  • Suitable for use on both walls and cabinetry
  • Consistent and easy application across multiple tools

Cons

  • Dead matt finishes can show marks more easily than eggshell or gloss
  • Limited to interior use cases
  • Requires proper surface preparation for optimal adhesion on cabinetry

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before application, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free of dust or grease. For cabinetry, light sanding is recommended to improve mechanical keying. The paint is compatible with standard professional application tools, but always test the flow on a sample board if using a spray system. Once dry, handle the surface with care; because of the low-sheen nature of the dead-matt finish, avoid abrasive cleaners. Instead, dust periodically with a soft cloth and spot-clean only when necessary using a damp, non-abrasive sponge. Store unused paint in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly sealed to prevent skinning.
