Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this paint in a bathroom?

While it is durable and scuff-resistant, Dead Flat is intended for interior walls and woodwork; please check the product data sheet if your environment involves extreme humidity or direct water contact.

What is the finish level of this paint?

Dead Flat is an ultra-matte finish, providing a remarkably flat, low-reflection surface.

Is Treron a warm or cool green?

Treron is a dark grey-green, which generally offers a neutral, sophisticated tone that bridges the gap between warm and cool depending on your lighting.

How many coats are typically required?

While it depends on the substrate and previous color, two full coats are generally recommended for full opacity and even finish.

Does it need a primer?

If you are painting over raw wood or metal, a high-quality primer compatible with alkyd finishes is always recommended for the best results.

Troubleshooting

Visible roller marks after drying

Ensure you are using a quality medium-pile roller and maintaining a 'wet edge' during application to prevent paint from drying prematurely.

Paint is not adhering to metal surfaces

Ensure the metal surface is properly degreased and lightly sanded to provide a mechanical key for the paint to bond to.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely low-sheen, matte appearance
  • Highly versatile across different material types
  • Durable enough for heavy-use areas like hallways
  • Authentic English-crafted paint quality
  • Sophisticated, timeless color profile

Cons

  • Requires thorough surface preparation for the best finish
  • Large 5L size may be more than necessary for small touch-ups
  • Matte finishes can sometimes show imperfections on uneven walls

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before applying, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free of dust or grease. For woodwork and metal, lightly sanding the surface will improve adhesion for the alkyd-based formula. Use a high-quality synthetic brush or a medium-pile roller to ensure an even application. Because this paint is designed for durability, you should allow the recommended drying time between coats to build up the scuff-resistant layer. For daily care, use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe away surface marks. Avoid using abrasive cleaning pads or harsh chemical cleaners, as these may damage the delicate, matte finish of the paint.
