FAQs

Do I really need a primer with this paint?

On properly prepared surfaces, no separate primer is required. However, if you are painting over stains, very porous surfaces, or materials known for poor adhesion, a suitable primer may still be beneficial for optimal results.

Can I use this paint on radiators?

Yes, Thermilate Pro Flex Paint is suitable for radiators. Ensure the radiator is clean, dry, and has no loose paint or rust before application. Apply in thin coats and allow to cure fully.

Is this paint suitable for high-moisture areas like bathrooms?

Yes, the paint is washable and formulated for durability, making it suitable for bathrooms and kitchens. Ensure good ventilation during and after application.

How long does the paint take to dry?

The paint is quick drying. Typically, recoating can be done after 2-4 hours, but this can vary depending on humidity and temperature. Allow sufficient time for thorough drying before exposing to heavy use.

Can this paint be sprayed?

Yes, this paint is designed for application by brush, roller, or sprayer. If spraying, you may need to thin it slightly with water (less than 5%) for optimal flow, following manufacturer guidelines.

What is the coverage rate of this 5L can?

Coverage varies by surface type and application method, but typically one litre covers approximately 10-12 square metres per coat. Therefore, a 5L can should cover around 50-60 square metres with one coat.

Can I paint over existing oil-based paint?

Yes, provided the surface is properly prepared. Lightly abrade the oil-based paint to create a key, clean thoroughly, and then apply Thermilate Pro Flex Paint.

Is the white colour a bright white or off-white?

The product description specifies 'White' without further detail on undertones. It is generally expected to be a standard, neutral white suitable for most applications.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering well.

Ensure the surface was properly prepared, clean, and dry. Glossy surfaces may require light abrasion. If applying over a stain or problematic surface, a primer might be necessary despite the 'primer in one' formulation.

Uneven finish or brush marks are visible.

Ensure paint is stirred thoroughly. Apply in thin, even coats using a quality brush or roller. Avoid overworking the paint. Consider using a spray application for a smoother finish on large areas. Allow proper drying time between coats.

Paint is too thick to apply.

Check the temperature; very cold conditions can thicken paint. If necessary, a very small amount of water (less than 5%) can be added for spray application, but this may affect performance. Ensure the product has not expired or been stored improperly.

White finish appears patchy after one coat.

This is normal for many paints. Apply a second coat as recommended for full opacity and a consistent finish. Ensure even coverage during the first coat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Surface Preparation: Before application, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and loose material. For best adhesion, lightly abrade glossy surfaces. If the surface has significant issues like damp or rot, address these before painting.

Compatibility: This paint is suitable for a wide range of surfaces including primed or painted plaster, masonry, wood, metal, UPVC, and previously painted surfaces. It is not recommended for direct application on bare, unprimed plastics not listed as compatible or on surfaces exposed to constant immersion in water.

Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply using a good quality brush, roller, or spray. Two coats are generally recommended for optimal coverage and durability. Allow adequate drying time between coats, typically 2-4 hours depending on conditions.

Care: Clean application tools with water immediately after use. For painted surfaces, wipe clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
