Product Information

Full details

This guide is for DIY enthusiasts and professionals seeking a durable, quick-drying black gloss paint for interior and exterior projects on wood and metal. The key benefit is its hard-wearing, water and oil-resistant finish that dries rapidly with low odor. A caveat to note is that it's intended for application over a primer or existing paint, not as a direct metal primer itself. Rustins Quick Dry Gloss Paint offers a tough, decorative coating suitable for various surfaces.

FAQs

Can I use this paint directly on bare metal?

No, for optimal adhesion and rust prevention on bare metal, it is recommended to first apply a suitable primer, such as Rustins Quick Drying Primer Undercoat.

How long does it take for the paint to be fully cured?

While touch dry in about 30 minutes, the paint will take approximately 24 hours to fully cure and achieve its maximum hardness and resistance properties.

Can I thin this paint?

This is a water-based paint. For thinning, use water sparingly. However, it is generally best used directly from the can for optimal results.

Is this paint suitable for high-traffic areas?

Yes, the hard-wearing and water/oil-resistant finish makes it suitable for areas that experience regular use, provided it is applied over a proper primer.

How should I clean my brushes after using this paint?

Clean all brushes and application tools immediately after use with warm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly.

What is the coverage rate of this paint?

Coverage varies depending on the surface porosity and application method, but typically expect around 10-12 square meters per litre.

Does this paint meet safety standards?

Yes, it conforms to the Toys (Safety) Regulations 1995 and BS:EN71 Part 3, making it safe for use on items intended for children.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering well

Ensure the surface was properly prepared and primed. Remove any dust, grease, or old, flaking paint. Stir the paint thoroughly before application.

Uneven or streaky finish

Stir the paint more frequently during application. Use a good quality brush and apply thin, even coats. Avoid overworking the paint. Ensure the surface is smooth before starting.

Paint is taking too long to dry

Ensure application is within the recommended temperature and humidity range. Avoid applying excessively thick coats. Check that the surface was not overly porous and did not absorb too much solvent from the paint.

Surface remains tacky after drying

This can occur in humid conditions or if applied too thickly. Allow for extended drying time in a well-ventilated area. If necessary, a very light sanding and a further thin coat may resolve this.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Ensure the surface to be painted is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and flaking paint. For best results on bare wood or metal, apply Rustins Quick Drying Primer Undercoat. Stir the paint thoroughly before application.
