Mylands Indian Lake No.288 is a sophisticated natural red paint designed for homeowners and interior designers looking to infuse classic 18th-century character into contemporary or traditional spaces. Featuring a refined red tone with fewer dark undertones than typical heritage shades, this multi-surface paint provides a high-quality dead matt finish that works equally well on walls, woodwork, and architectural features. While it offers exceptional versatility and aesthetic depth, users should note that the dead matt finish requires careful handling, as it is less resistant to scrubbing than higher-sheen alternatives.

No, Indian Lake No.288 is formulated specifically for interior applications.
This specific variant is the Multi-Surface Dead Matt paint; please refer to the dedicated Decorative Floor Satin range for flooring requirements.
For best color depth and consistency, two coats are recommended, though coverage depends on the underlying surface color.
Dead Matt offers a flat, non-reflective finish, while Eggshell provides a subtle, low-sheen luster that is typically easier to wipe clean.
While it is multi-surface, a primer is highly recommended for porous or previously unpainted surfaces to achieve a professional, uniform finish.
This is often caused by uneven surface suction; ensure a high-quality primer is applied to porous substrates before painting.
Ensure you are using the correct nap length for your roller and maintain a 'wet edge' while working across the surface.
Avoid aggressive scrubbing of the dead matt surface; use only light pressure with a damp cloth.
Before starting, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose paint or dust. For optimal results, use a high-quality synthetic brush or a medium-nap roller depending on the surface texture. While this is a multi-surface product, porous surfaces should be primed with an appropriate base coat to ensure even suction and color consistency. To maintain the dead matt finish, avoid harsh chemical cleaners. If marks occur, gently blot the area with a damp, soft cloth, being careful not to rub vigorously, which can burnish the flat paint surface.
