Full details

The Mylands Ultramarine Blue paint (FTT-018) is a professional-grade, vivid pigment ideal for homeowners and designers looking to inject bold energy into their living spaces. Derived from the heritage of British film, television, and theatre production, this plant-based formula offers a high-performance finish suitable for various surfaces. However, users should note that due to its intense, saturated nature, proper wall preparation and multiple thin coats are essential to achieve an even, professional-looking coverage.

FAQs

Is this paint suitable for exterior use?

This specific formula is primarily designed for interior home use, mirroring the requirements of professional studio environments.

Can I use this paint in a bathroom?

Depending on the specific finish (such as the eggshell variant), it may be suitable, but ensure the room is well-ventilated to allow for proper curing.

How long does it take to dry?

While touch-dry times vary by humidity and temperature, it is recommended to wait at least 4 to 6 hours between coats.

Do I need a primer?

Yes, using a good quality primer is highly recommended, especially when changing wall colors, to ensure the vivid blue pigment shows its true depth.

Can this be used on furniture?

Yes, especially the multi-surface eggshell variants which are formulated to adhere well to furniture and trim.

How do I clean my brushes?

Since this is a water-based, plant-derived formula, you can clean your brushes easily with warm water and mild soap.

Troubleshooting

Uneven color or streaking after first coat

Apply a secondary coat once the first is fully dry; high-pigment colors often require multiple layers for perfect opacity.

Paint drips or runs during application

Ensure you are not overloading your brush or roller and apply using light, consistent pressure.

Poor adhesion to surface

Check that the surface was properly cleaned and primed; ensure no residual oils or dust remain before painting.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptionally deep and vibrant color saturation
  • Environmentally conscious plant-based ingredients
  • Versatile application methods including spray compatibility
  • Professional finish derived from film industry standards

Cons

  • Bold colors may require additional primer for best opacity
  • Requires careful preparation to avoid streaking
  • Intense pigments can be difficult to touch up later

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting your project, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. If you are painting over a drastically different color, apply a high-quality primer to ensure the ultramarine pigment achieves full intensity. For maintenance, clean brushes and rollers immediately with warm, soapy water after use to preserve the quality of your tools. Store leftover paint in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly sealed to prevent the formula from drying out or skinning over.
