Product Information

Full details

Mylands London Brown No.287 is a sophisticated, warm dark brown paint designed for homeowners and professionals looking to add an earthy, comforting aesthetic to their interiors. This multi-surface eggshell finish is ideal for woodwork, skirting boards, doors, and metal surfaces, offering a durable and scuff-resistant coating that stands up to daily wear. While it provides a professional-grade, smooth appearance, users should note that as an eggshell finish, it is specifically formulated for trim and secondary surfaces rather than high-traffic wall coverage.

FAQs

Can this paint be used on exterior doors?

No, this is specifically formulated for interior woodwork and metal surfaces.

Is this paint suitable for walls?

While it can be applied to surfaces, it is an eggshell finish designed for trim; for walls, we recommend Mylands Marble Matt Emulsion.

How many coats are typically needed?

For best results, we recommend two full coats, allowing adequate drying time between each.

Does it require a primer?

On previously painted sound surfaces, it may not be necessary, but raw wood or metal should always be primed first.

How should I clean my brushes after use?

As this is a modern high-quality paint, please refer to the specific label instructions on the tin, though most are cleaned with appropriate solvent or water-based cleaners depending on the specific batch formulation.

Troubleshooting

Paint appears streaky upon application

Ensure you are using a high-quality brush and do not overwork the paint; apply in long, even strokes.

Paint is not adhering well to the surface

The surface may not have been cleaned properly or requires a dedicated primer before application.

Finish looks too shiny or too dull

Ensure the product was thoroughly stirred before application, as uneven pigment distribution affects the final sheen.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent scuff resistance for high-touch areas
  • Rich, complex color depth with red undertones
  • Professional-grade smooth finish
  • Quick-drying properties for faster project completion

Cons

  • Not suitable for large wall areas compared to emulsion
  • Limited to interior use only
  • Small 250ml size requires planning for large projects

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best results, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from grease or loose debris before application. For raw wood or metal surfaces, a suitable primer is recommended to promote adhesion. Stir the paint thoroughly before use to ensure the pigment is evenly distributed. Apply using a high-quality synthetic brush or a short-pile foam roller for a smooth finish. Once applied, the paint is washable, but avoid abrasive cleaning sponges that could compromise the eggshell sheen. Store the tin in a cool, dry place and ensure the lid is sealed tightly to prevent skinning.
