Product Information
Full details
Rust-Oleum Interior Wood Paint is an ideal choice for DIY enthusiasts and homeowners looking to refresh indoor woodwork, such as doors, skirting boards, and staircases, with a durable, professional-grade satin finish. The primary benefit is its high-pigmentation formula that eliminates the need for primers or separate topcoats, though users should be mindful that like all water-based paints, it requires careful surface preparation to ensure optimal adhesion on previously varnished surfaces.

FAQs
Do I need a primer for this paint?
No, this product is formulated as a self-priming paint that works on most interior wood surfaces.
Can I use this on floors?
This paint is specifically designed for woodwork like doors, frames, and panelling, and is not recommended for heavy-traffic floor use.
How many coats should I apply?
Usually, two coats provide excellent coverage and depth of colour.
Is this paint oil-based or water-based?
It is a water-based formula, which makes for easier clean-up and lower odour.
Can I use this outdoors?
No, this product is strictly for interior use only.
What is the best way to clean my brushes?
Since it is a water-based paint, simply wash brushes and tools with warm, soapy water immediately after use.
Troubleshooting
Paint is not adhering to the surface
Ensure the surface was sanded to remove gloss and thoroughly cleaned of grease or wax before application.
Visible brush marks after drying
Use a high-quality synthetic brush and avoid over-working the paint once it begins to tack up.
Paint takes longer than 1 hour to touch-dry
Check the room humidity and temperature; high humidity or low temperatures can significantly extend drying times.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before application, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose paint, grease, or wax. Lightly sand glossy surfaces to create a "key" for the paint to grip. No primer is necessary for bare or previously painted wood, but spot-priming may be required if the wood has heavy tannin stains. Application should occur in temperatures above 10°C. Clean brushes and rollers with warm, soapy water immediately after use to prevent the paint from hardening in the bristles.
