I like a really good flat matt finish and we have chosen some matt paint.
Any tips on how to maximise the flat matt finish. Are some rollers better
than others in this respect? Any tips for brush finishing around the edges
to maintain a matt texture?



The best way to get a really matt finish is to use Farrow and Ball paints.

What you put them on with is (almost) irrelevant. Nothing else touches
them for dead flatness and solidity of color.
