Product Information

Full details

Mylands Post Hill No.68 is a sophisticated, classic post-box red paint designed for DIY enthusiasts and interior designers who require a rich, ultra-matte aesthetic for various surfaces. Formulated with a complex blend of six distinct pigments—including bright red, magenta, violet, black, yellow, and white—it offers unparalleled color depth and durability. While this multi-surface formula is highly versatile, achieving the most professional and long-lasting result requires the use of a dedicated primer, particularly the brand's recommended Red Primer and Undercoat, to ensure optimal surface adhesion.

FAQs

Do I need a primer with Post Hill No.68?

Yes, while the paint is high quality, using a primer—specifically the Mylands Red Primer and Undercoat—is highly recommended to ensure surface adhesion and a flawless, long-lasting finish.

Can I use this paint outdoors?

No, this specific formulation is designed for interior use only.

What is a 'dead matt' finish?

A dead matt finish is a paint sheen with almost zero light reflection, resulting in an ultra-flat, smooth, and highly sophisticated appearance.

How many pigments are in this red?

This color contains a blend of six pigments: bright red, magenta, violet, black, yellow, and white.

How should I clean the painted surface?

Because of the matte finish, it is best to clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive sponges or harsh chemical cleaners.

Troubleshooting

Uneven finish or patches

Ensure a consistent primer layer was applied; apply an additional thin coat of paint after the first has fully dried.

Poor adhesion to surface

The surface may not have been properly prepared. Sand lightly, clean the area, and ensure a compatible primer is used before repainting.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Deep, complex color profile that resists fading
  • Ultra-matte finish hides surface irregularities effectively
  • Versatile application suitable for diverse interior materials
  • Rich, high-quality consistency for smooth coverage

Cons

  • Requires a primer for best results, adding an extra step to the process
  • Best performance achieved specifically with the Mylands Red Primer system
  • Limited to interior use

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free of dust or oils. For the most durable finish, apply the Mylands Red Primer and Undercoat first. This foundational step is critical to even out the surface absorption and improve paint adhesion. Once the primer is cured, apply the paint using high-quality brushes or rollers. For care, avoid harsh scrubbing; if cleaning is necessary, use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe the matte surface to preserve the pigment integrity.
