FAQs
Do I need to prime before using the paint?
No, priming is not typically required. However, for some surfaces or very dark colors, a primer may be beneficial.
How many coats of paint do I need?
One coat provides excellent coverage, but additional coats may be needed depending on the surface and desired finish.
Can I use this paint on outdoor furniture?
This paint is designed for interior use. For outdoor furniture, consider a paint specifically designed for exterior use.
How do I create a distressed look?
Apply two coats of different colors. Once dry, lightly sand the top coat to reveal the base coat and create a vintage, distressed appearance.
Can I apply a topcoat?
Yes, you can apply Rust-Oleum Furniture Finishing Wax or Lacquer for added protection and to enhance the finish.
How much paint do I need for my project?
A 750ml tin of paint should cover a reasonable amount of furniture. Coverage will vary depending on the surface and number of coats.
How do I clean the painted surface?
Wipe the painted surface with a damp cloth.
Troubleshooting
Paint is not adhering well.
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and lightly sanded if glossy. Allow sufficient drying time between coats.
Uneven finish after application.
Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply an even coat and avoid over-brushing.
