Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this paint on my decking?

No, this product is not designed for use on decking, as it may not withstand the high levels of foot traffic and abrasion.

Is the paint safe for pets?

Yes, once the paint is fully dry, it is considered safe for use on wood that pets or birds may come into contact with or gnaw.

How many coats should I apply?

A minimum of two coats is recommended for full protection and optimal color depth.

Can I use this paint indoors?

No, this product is specifically designed for outdoor use only.

How do I calculate how much paint I need?

Coverage is approximately 2-12 m²/L depending on the porosity of the surface. It is best to measure your surface area and buy slightly more than needed for touch-ups.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering to the surface

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of oils or loose debris. Lightly sand previously painted surfaces to create a better profile for the new coat.

The color looks uneven

This is likely due to the porosity of the wood or surface. Ensure you have applied the minimum of two coats and that you stirred the paint thoroughly before application.

Overspray on nearby plants or paths

Cover nearby surfaces with protective sheets before spraying. If paint lands where it shouldn't, clean it immediately with water and detergent while the paint is still wet.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before application, ensure the ambient temperature is at least 5°C and no rain is forecast. Stir the paint thoroughly before and during use to ensure consistent pigment distribution.

Surface Preparation: Clean all surfaces thoroughly. If applying over existing paint, strip back flaking sections. If the wood is bare, consider a wood preserver before painting to prevent decay.
Cleaning Tools: Since this is a water-based paint, you can clean brushes with water and a mild household detergent. Remove paint from tools immediately after use.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place and protect from frost. Never allow the product to freeze, as this can ruin the composition.
Disposal: Do not discard leftover paint in household drains. Locate a local Community RePaint center to dispose of unwanted product responsibly.
