FAQs
Is this paint suitable for all types of masonry?
It is suitable for most standard exterior masonry walls, including brick and render. Ensure the surface is structurally sound before application.
Does this paint prevent dampness?
It prevents external water penetration while allowing trapped moisture to escape as vapour, which helps maintain a dry, efficient wall structure.
How should I clean my brushes after using HQC paint?
Since this is a water-based acrylic paint, you can clean your brushes and rollers using warm soapy water immediately after use.
Can I apply this paint in winter?
It is recommended to apply in dry, temperate weather. Avoid painting in freezing temperatures or during wet conditions as it will prevent the paint from curing correctly.
Do I need to use a primer?
While it has excellent adhesion, a primer is recommended if the masonry is extremely porous, friable, or if you are painting over a drastically different colour.
Troubleshooting
Paint is not adhering to the wall
Ensure the wall is free from dust, grease, and loose materials. If the surface is chalky, apply a stabilising primer first.
Visible streaks after application
Ensure you are using the correct type of masonry roller or brush and apply consistent pressure, maintaining a 'wet edge' while painting.
Biological growth appearing after painting
Ensure the surface was fully treated with a fungicidal wash to kill existing spores before the first coat was applied.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, the surface must be clean, dry, and free from dust, loose debris, or flaking paint before application. Remove any existing biological growth such as moss or algae using a stiff brush or an appropriate fungicidal wash. Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply in moderate weather conditions—avoid painting in direct, intense sunlight or when rain is expected. For best results, apply evenly with a high-quality masonry brush or a medium-pile roller. Clean brushes and equipment with water immediately after use to prevent the acrylic resin from hardening.
