FAQs

Can I use this paint on my kitchen cabinets?

This paint is specifically designed for interior wood trim like skirting boards, doors, and windows. For kitchen cabinets, which experience more moisture and grease, a paint formulated for kitchen surfaces would be more appropriate.

Do I need to use a primer before applying this paint?

The Ronseal Stays White Ultra Tough Paint acts as a primer and paint in one. However, for very dark or vibrant existing colors, or if you are painting over a non-standard surface, a separate primer may improve coverage and finish, though it's not strictly required for adhesion on bare wood.

How many coats are recommended?

For most applications, including bare wood, two coats are recommended to achieve the best finish and durability. Allow sufficient drying time between coats.

Is this paint suitable for exterior wood?

No, this paint is formulated for interior wood surfaces only. It is not weather-resistant and should not be used outdoors.

How long does the 'stays white' guarantee last?

The product is guaranteed to stay white for 10 years under normal interior use conditions.

What is the best way to clean painted surfaces?

Once fully cured, you can clean the painted surface with a damp cloth and a mild detergent. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.

Can this paint be used on MDF or other composite wood materials?

While primarily for solid interior wood, it can be used on properly prepared MDF and other composite wood materials. Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or factory coatings.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering well

Ensure the surface was properly cleaned, sanded (if necessary), and dried before application. Check for any contaminants like oil or grease.

Uneven finish or brush marks visible

Ensure the paint was stirred thoroughly. Apply thin, even coats rather than heavy ones. Use a good quality brush or roller suitable for the paint type and work with the grain of the wood.

Paint is taking too long to dry

Ensure application is done in a well-ventilated area at the recommended temperature. Avoid applying excessively thick coats, as this can prolong drying times.

Yellowing observed over time

While guaranteed to stay white for 10 years, ensure the surface was not exposed to excessive direct sunlight or specific chemicals that could accelerate discoloration. Ensure the product was applied correctly according to instructions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation: Ensure the interior wood surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and loose paint. Lightly sand glossy surfaces to improve adhesion. For bare wood, ensure it is sound and free from contamination.

Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply one coat of primer/undercoat if painting over dark or vibrant colors, or if significant color change is desired (though not strictly necessary for adhesion on bare wood). Apply two coats of Ronseal Stays White Ultra Tough Paint, allowing adequate drying time between coats as per the manufacturer's instructions.

Compatibility: This paint is designed for interior wood surfaces only, including skirting, doors, and windows. Do not use on metal, plastic, or previously painted surfaces not intended for wood paint without appropriate preparation and priming. Not suitable for exterior use.

Care: Once fully cured, the paint surface can be cleaned using a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which could damage the finish.
