Full details

Mylands Downing Street No.10 is a premium, plant-based gloss paint designed for homeowners and professionals seeking a deep, iconic 'pitch black' finish for interior and exterior surfaces. Offering exceptional durability and a high-shine aesthetic, it is perfect for architectural details, trims, and front doors that require a sophisticated, long-lasting statement. While it provides a stunning, washable finish, users should note that as a high-gloss product, it will highlight surface imperfections more readily than matt alternatives, requiring careful preparation for optimal results.

Troubleshooting

Visible brush strokes in the finish

Use a high-quality synthetic brush and apply thin, even coats, or consider using a foam roller for a smoother lay-down.

Poor adhesion or flaking

Ensure the surface was correctly sanded and degreased. If applying over old gloss, the surface must be abraded sufficiently to create a texture.

Surface imperfections appearing after drying

Gloss paint highlights bumps. Sand the area with fine-grit paper, clean, and apply a high-quality primer/undercoat before reapplying the finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation is critical for gloss paints. Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from grease or flaking old paint. Sand down existing surfaces to create a "key" for adhesion, then remove all dust with a tack cloth. Prime raw wood or metal surfaces before applying the first coat of Mylands. When painting, work in a well-ventilated area with a steady room temperature. Clean brushes and tools with the appropriate cleaner immediately after use to prevent the paint from hardening on bristles. Store the tin in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly sealed to prevent the formation of a skin on the remaining product.
