FAQs

What surfaces can I use Ronseal Garden Paint on?

Ronseal Garden Paint is highly versatile and can be used on wood, metal (with a suitable primer), terracotta, brick, and stone surfaces in your garden.

How long does it take for the paint to become rainproof?

This paint is designed to be rainproof in just one hour after application, allowing for quick project completion with less worry about sudden rain showers.

Do I need to use a primer when painting metal?

Yes, for optimal adhesion and durability when painting metal surfaces, a suitable primer is recommended before applying Ronseal Garden Paint.

Why does this paint offer long-lasting protection?

Its high solid content contributes to a superior film build, which results in a more durable and longer-lasting protective finish that resists cracking and peeling.

How much area does a 250ml tin cover?

Info needed: Specific coverage area per litre/ml. Please refer to the product label or Ronseal's official website for precise coverage details, as this can vary based on surface porosity.

How should I clean my brushes after using Ronseal Garden Paint?

Clean your brushes and other application tools thoroughly with warm, soapy water immediately after use.

Can I use this paint indoors?

While primarily designed for outdoor use due to its weather-resistant properties and 'Garden Paint' designation, its suitability for specific indoor projects is not specified. It's best suited for exterior garden substrates.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering or is peeling/cracking shortly after application.

Ensure the surface was thoroughly clean, dry, and properly prepared before painting. For metal, confirm a suitable primer was used. Apply paint in thin, even coats rather than thick ones, allowing each coat to dry sufficiently.

Colour appears inconsistent or patchy.

Stir the paint thoroughly before and during application to ensure pigment is evenly distributed. Apply at least two coats, allowing proper drying time between each, to achieve a uniform finish.

Paint is taking longer than one hour to become rainproof.

This could be due to very humid conditions, low temperatures, or excessively thick application. Ensure good ventilation and check weather forecasts for optimal drying conditions. Apply thinner coats.

Paint has dried with an uneven texture.

This often occurs due to dust or debris on the surface or in the paint. Ensure the surface is clean before painting. Use a high-quality brush or roller appropriate for exterior paint to ensure a smooth application.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Surface Preparation

Before applying Ronseal Garden Paint, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose dirt, dust, or flaking material. For optimal adhesion on metal surfaces, a suitable metal primer must be applied first. For wood, light sanding may be beneficial, especially if the surface is particularly smooth or weathered. Ensure any previous finishes are sound and well-adhered; remove any loose paint or varnish.

Application

1. Stir Thoroughly: Before and during use, stir the paint well to ensure an even consistency and colour.

2. Apply: Use a good quality brush or roller. Apply in thin, even coats, working along the grain of wood where applicable.

3. Multiple Coats: For best results and durability, two coats are generally recommended. Allow adequate drying time between coats, though it becomes rainproof in an hour.

Compatibility

This paint is compatible with a wide range of garden materials, including:

  • Wood
  • Metal (requires priming)
  • Terracotta
  • Brick
  • Stone

Care & Storage

  • Tool Cleaning: Clean brushes and rollers immediately after use with warm, soapy water.
  • Storage: Store the paint in its original container, in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and protected from frost. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed.
