Product Information

Full details

This Thorndown Tor Stone Wood Paint is designed for DIY enthusiasts and homeowners looking to protect and beautify timber, metal, or PVC surfaces both indoors and outdoors. Its key benefit is offering a durable, water-repellent, satin finish with minimal VOCs and no primer or undercoat needed, saving time and effort. A potential caveat is that achieving a fully water-repellent finish after dilution for a stain effect may require an additional topcoat of UV Clear.

FAQs

Do I need to prime the surface before using Thorndown Tor Stone Wood Paint?

No, a significant benefit of this paint is that no primer or undercoat is required, making application quicker and more economical.

Can I use this paint on metal or plastic?

Yes, this paint is exceptionally versatile and can be used on timber, metal, and plastic surfaces, including PVC window frames.

How do I achieve a wood stain effect?

To achieve a wood stain effect, dilute the paint with water. For optimal water repellency after dilution, apply a couple of coats of Thorndown UV Clear.

What is the coverage rate of the 2.5-litre tin?

A 2.5-litre tin of Thorndown Tor Stone Wood Paint covers approximately 30 square meters.

Is this paint safe to use indoors?

Yes, the paint is water-based, odour-free, and has minimal VOCs (0.28%), making it suitable and safer for interior use.

How long does the paint take to dry?

Under good weather conditions, the paint dries to the touch in one to two hours. Drying times can vary depending on temperature and humidity.

Can I mix Thorndown Tor Stone with other Thorndown paint colours?

Yes, you can mix Thorndown paints with other colours to create custom shades, or mix with Thorndown 'Clear' for a more transparent finish.

Troubleshooting

Paint is too thick or difficult to apply.

Stir the paint thoroughly. If necessary, dilute slightly with water (maximum 10%) for easier application, especially for a stain effect. Note that excessive dilution may affect water repellency.

Uneven colour or finish.

Ensure the surface was clean and dry before application. Apply paint evenly with consistent brush strokes. If applying a diluted coat, ensure even distribution of the thinned paint. Consider a second coat for better opacity.

Colour fading over time.

Thorndown uses high-quality exterior-grade colourants for UV resistance. Ensure correct application and consider an additional UV Clear topcoat for maximum protection, especially on exterior surfaces exposed to harsh sunlight.

Paint is not drying.

Check ambient temperature and humidity. Drying times are estimates and can be extended in cold or damp conditions. Ensure adequate ventilation. Do not apply in temperatures below 10°C or in very humid conditions.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Quick and economical due to no primer needed.
  • Suitable for a broad range of materials and locations (interior/exterior).
  • Environmentally conscious with low VOCs and water-based formula.
  • Durable and long-lasting colours thanks to high-quality pigments.
  • Easy to apply, whether straight from the tin, mixed, or diluted.

Cons

  • Achieving a water-repellent finish after dilution may require an extra clear coat.
  • The satin finish might not be suitable for all aesthetic preferences.
  • Drying times are dependent on weather conditions.
  • Larger quantities (2.5L) might be more than needed for small projects.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Surface Preparation: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from grease, dust, or flaking paint. For most applications, no primer or undercoat is necessary.

Compatibility: This paint is suitable for timber (new or previously coated), metal, and plastic including PVC.

Application: Apply directly from the tin using a brush or roller. For a more transparent finish, mix with Thorndown 'Clear'. For a wood stain effect, dilute with water. Stir thoroughly before use.

Drying Time: Dries in one to two hours in good weather conditions. Allow adequate drying time between coats if applying multiple layers.

Coverage: A 2.5-litre tin covers approximately 30 square meters. Coverage may vary based on surface porosity and application method.

Care: Clean brushes and equipment with water immediately after use. Store paint in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and frost. For a water-repellent finish on diluted applications, apply 1-2 coats of Thorndown UV Clear.

Maintenance: Surfaces coated with Thorndown paint can be cleaned using a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
