FAQs

What is the best way to apply Farrow & Ball Slipper Satin?

Use a brush or roller designed for emulsion paints. Apply two coats, allowing the first coat to dry completely before applying the second.

Can I use Slipper Satin in a kitchen or bathroom?

While it can be used, it's not the ideal choice. The matte finish is more delicate and susceptible to marks and moisture. Consider other Farrow & Ball finishes designed for these areas.

How do I clean Farrow & Ball Slipper Satin?

Gently wipe marks with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the matte finish.

Do I need to prime before painting?

Yes, priming is recommended, especially on new or previously painted surfaces. It helps with adhesion and ensures a uniform finish.

How many coats of paint are needed?

Two coats are generally recommended for optimal coverage and finish.

What is the coverage of a 5L tin?

Coverage can vary, but typically, a 5L tin covers approximately 60-70 square meters.

Is Slipper Satin suitable for exterior use?

No, Slipper Satin is designed for interior use only.

Troubleshooting

Paint appears streaky after application.

Ensure even application by using consistent strokes and avoid overworking the paint. Make sure you are using a good quality brush or roller.

Paint doesn't cover the surface adequately.

Apply a second coat of paint. Ensure you have properly primed the surface beforehand.

Paint finish is not matte.

Check if you have the correct paint (Estate Emulsion) and ensure you have stirred the paint thoroughly as the matte finish can settle.

Paint is chipping or flaking.

Make sure the surface was properly prepared before painting. Remove any loose paint, sand the surface, and ensure it is clean and dry. Ensure you've applied the correct primer.
