Product Information
Full details
This guide is for DIY enthusiasts and homeowners looking for an eco-friendly, versatile paint for timber and other surfaces. The key benefit is its durable, natural-looking finish that highlights wood grain, suitable for both interior and exterior use. A potential caveat is that for full water repellency on diluted finishes, an additional topcoat of UV Clear is recommended. Thorndown Wood Paint in Ottery Brown offers a soft chocolate hue, providing a delicate satin finish with excellent UV resistance and minimal VOCs. It's designed for easy application without primer or undercoat and can be mixed with other colours or diluted to create stain effects.

Troubleshooting
Paint not adhering well
Ensure the surface was properly prepared, clean, and dry before application. Lightly sand glossy or previously coated surfaces.
Uneven colour or finish
Stir the paint thoroughly before and during application. Ensure even coats are applied. If diluting, test the mixture on a scrap piece first for consistent results.
Water beading or not repelling effectively
If the paint was diluted, apply two coats of Thorndown UV Clear after the paint has dried completely to improve water repellency.
Tool cleaning difficulty
Clean brushes, rollers, and spray equipment with water immediately after use, before the paint dries.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or any existing loose coatings. For previously painted or varnished surfaces, a light sanding may be necessary to ensure adhesion.
Compatibility: This paint is suitable for all timber surfaces (internal and external), terracotta, metal, and plastic, including PVC window frames. It can be applied directly from the tin or mixed with Thorndown Clear for a transparent finish. For a wood stain effect, dilute with water (recommended ratio not specified, test first).
Application: Apply using a brush, roller, or spray gun. Stir the paint thoroughly before use. For best results with diluted applications, apply two coats of Thorndown UV Clear after the paint has fully dried to enhance water repellency.
Care: Clean application tools with water immediately after use. For maintenance of painted surfaces, wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
