FAQs

Can I use this paint on interior surfaces?

This paint is specifically formulated for exterior use and may not be ideal for interior applications due to its properties and finish.

How long does the 10-year protection guarantee last?

The '10 Year Trusted Durable Protection' refers to the expected performance under normal exterior conditions. It's a measure of the paint's expected longevity, not a formal warranty against all failures.

What is the best way to clean the painted surface?

For routine cleaning, use a damp cloth. For tougher marks, a mild detergent solution can be used. Avoid harsh or abrasive cleaners which could damage the finish.

Does this paint require a separate primer?

For most exterior surfaces like masonry and primed wood, it acts as a self-primer and undercoat. However, for bare non-ferrous metals like aluminium, a specific metal primer is recommended before applying this paint.

What is the finish like?

The paint provides a soft, low-sheen satin finish, offering a subtle and attractive look without being overly glossy.

How many coats should I apply?

Two coats are generally recommended for best results, ensuring optimal durability, coverage, and color depth.

What temperature range is suitable for application?

Apply when the air and surface temperatures are between 8°C and 32°C. Avoid applying in direct strong sunlight, rain, or frost.

Troubleshooting

Paint not adhering well or peeling

Ensure the surface was properly cleaned, dry, and free from contaminants before application. Check if a suitable primer was used on non-ferrous metals. Ensure the previous surface was sound and not flaking.

Uneven finish or brush marks visible

Apply paint evenly using smooth, consistent strokes. Avoid over-brushing or working the paint too much. Ensure paint is well-stirred and at an appropriate temperature for application.

Slow drying time

Ensure application occurred within the recommended temperature and humidity range. High humidity or low temperatures can significantly slow drying. Ensure adequate ventilation.

Mould reappearing quickly

While the paint is mould-resistant, severe environmental conditions may still allow for growth. Ensure surfaces are thoroughly cleaned of existing mould before painting and address any underlying moisture issues.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides up to 10 years of protection, offering excellent long-term value.
  • Versatile application on multiple exterior surfaces simplifies project planning.
  • Self-priming and undercoating properties reduce the number of coats and preparation steps.
  • Mould resistant formula helps maintain a clean appearance.
  • Flexible nature prevents common paint failures like cracking and flaking.
  • Quick drying time allows for efficient project completion.

Cons

  • As a water-based paint, it may not offer the same initial hardness as some oil-based alternatives.
  • Requires proper surface preparation for optimal adhesion and longevity.
  • The blue colour may not be suitable for all aesthetic preferences or planning regulations.
  • Performance might vary depending on extreme weather conditions or specific substrate types.
  • Requires specific application tools and techniques suitable for water-based paints.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and flaking paint. For previously painted surfaces, lightly abrade if necessary. For bare, porous surfaces like unpainted wood or masonry, a single coat of Sandtex 10 Year Exterior Multi-Surface Paint can act as primer and undercoat. For non-ferrous metals like aluminium, a specific primer might be recommended by the manufacturer before applying this paint.

Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply with a good quality brush or roller suitable for water-based paints. Apply evenly, avoiding over-brushing. Two coats are recommended for best results and maximum durability. Allow adequate drying time between coats.

Coverage: Approximately 10-12 square meters per litre, depending on the surface.

Drying Time: Touch dry in 1-2 hours. Recoatable after 4 hours.

Compatibility: Suitable for exterior masonry, primed wood, and metal (including aluminium and non-ferrous metals with appropriate preparation).

Care: Clean application tools immediately after use with water. For cleaning the painted surface, use a damp cloth and mild detergent if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
