FAQs
What surfaces can I use Johnstone's Weatherguard Exterior Gloss on?
This paint is suitable for exterior wood, metal, and plastic surfaces. Always ensure proper surface preparation for each material.
How do I prepare a previously painted surface for this gloss paint?
Lightly sand the existing paint to create a key for the new coat, then clean the surface thoroughly to remove all dust and debris before applying the Weatherguard Gloss.
What is the best way to apply this paint?
Apply using a good quality brush or roller in thin, even coats. Stir the paint well before and during use.
Can I use this paint in cold weather?
It is not recommended to apply this paint in temperatures below 10°C, as it can affect drying and performance.
How should I clean my brushes after using this paint?
Clean brushes and equipment immediately after use with water.
Does this paint offer UV protection?
While formulated for durability and weather resistance, specific UV protection details are best confirmed with the manufacturer's technical data sheet. The durable formulation helps resist fading.
How many coats are usually recommended?
Typically, two or more coats are recommended for best results, especially for colour change or optimal protection. Allow adequate drying time between coats.
Troubleshooting
Paint is not adhering well
Ensure the surface was properly prepared and primed. Check for contaminants like dust or grease. Ensure the surface was lightly abraded if previously painted or very smooth.
Uneven or streaky finish
Ensure the paint was stirred thoroughly. Apply in thinner, more even coats. Use a high-quality brush and maintain consistent brush strokes. Avoid overworking the paint.
Paint not drying
Check the ambient temperature and humidity. Ensure application did not occur in conditions below 10°C or above 30°C, or in very high humidity. Allow more time in cooler conditions.
Blistering or peeling after application
This often indicates moisture ingress or poor adhesion. Ensure proper surface preparation and priming, especially on wood. Allow adequate drying time between coats and before exposure to heavy weather.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation: Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and flaking paint. For bare wood, apply a suitable primer. For metal, use a rust-inhibiting primer. For plastics, a specialized primer may be required. Lightly sand glossy or smooth surfaces to improve adhesion.
Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply using a good quality brush or a suitable roller. Apply in thin, even coats. Avoid applying in very wet, humid, or cold conditions (below 10°C or above 30°C).
Compatibility: Suitable for exterior wood, metal, and plastic surfaces. Not recommended for direct application on previously treated surfaces without proper preparation or for interior use.
Care: Clean brushes and equipment immediately after use with water. For routine cleaning of the painted surface, use a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
