Beatrice LAVAL Paint Boston Gray [2.5L]

★Color Used on the 1st Floor of the Ashiya Store

A paint created through a collaboration between Paris-based Beatrice LAVAL and the paint brand Argile.
This acrylic paint provides a velvet matte finish.
Its low-odor, water-based formula makes it safe to use indoors.
Two coats applied evenly over any primer color will completely conceal the original color.

A sophisticated, professional-quality color created by Beatrice, a true master of color.
While most walls in Japan are white,
this carefully calculated color creates a beautiful French-inspired look.
No matter which color you choose,
it is easy to incorporate into your space and expands the possibilities for your interior design.

This color was designed to coordinate with separately sold wallpaper.
It is distinctive yet timeless,
and an important element in creating a space that reflects your personal style.

This color looks beautiful on its own.
While painting all the walls in a room is a great option,
painting just one wall creates a striking accent and is highly recommended.

Boston, the oldest city in the United States.

This exquisite gray color creates a sophisticated, mature atmosphere.

Incorporating a darker color adds depth and a sense of balance to your room.
By introducing colors you may never have used before,
you can unexpectedly create a much more refined interior.

Small spaces such as entryways and toilets
are particularly easy places to experiment with at home,
so be sure to combine them with wallpaper
to enjoy an even more sophisticated space.

In addition to the 2.5L size,
we also offer a smaller 0.75L size.
Other colors are also available in 1L and 5L sizes.

【Directions for Use】
・Please prepare a brush, roller, spray gun, etc.
・Remove any dirt from the surface to be painted and allow it to dry thoroughly.
・Thoroughly cover any areas you do not want to paint with masking tape or similar materials.
(After painting, remove the tape slowly before the paint dries completely.)
・Before opening the lid, shake well to mix the contents evenly.
After opening, stir the paint thoroughly from the bottom with a stick or similar tool.
If the paint is too thick and difficult to apply, dilute it slightly with water. For use with a spray gun, dilute with water (5–10%).
※Be careful not to dilute too much, as this may cause problems such as poor drying or discoloration.
・Dries in approximately 2 hours. Allow at least 6 hours before applying another coat.
・Close the lid tightly after use.
Also, wash the tools used with water and use a neutral detergent if necessary.

【Surface Preparation】
Depending on the material being painted, proper surface preparation can significantly improve the finish and durability.
Smooth surfaces such as metal, plastic, melamine boards, and existing paint coatings
→ We recommend using Mictacron (an adhesion primer) to improve paint adhesion.
Porous surfaces such as wood, concrete, mortar, and gypsum board
→ Apply a sealer to prevent unevenness and color variation.
When painting over wallpaper
→ For smooth-surfaced wallpaper such as vinyl wallpaper, we recommend using an adhesion primer because the paint may not adhere well.
→ For cloth or paper wallpaper, or wallpaper that has deteriorated over time, apply a sealer to stabilize the surface before painting.

Painting without proper surface preparation may cause peeling, unevenness, and reduced durability.
To achieve a beautiful, long-lasting finish, consider using a primer suitable for the surface being painted.
Since the finish will vary depending on the condition of the surface, always perform a test application in an inconspicuous area.
