Flat Oil
High quality flat matt alkyd resin oil paint. To be used for the decoration of low-usage joinery and woodwork such as panelling. Artist quality earth and traditional powder pigments provide matchless purity and quality of colour with subtle variations of colour and tone. It is not a permeable paint, and is not to be used on newly plastered surfaces or solid walls that need to breathe.

Usage/Purpose

Coverage

Finish
Matt finish with subtle variations in colour and tone. All Rose of Jericho paints are made using powder pigments. Colour and tone variations due to these pigments and differing porosity of surfaces are inevitable. The intention is that our oil paints possess the lack of uniformity and charm of traditional oil paints.
Colour
Available in all colours.
