Product Information

Full details

Johnstone's Hardwearing Exterior Gloss is for homeowners and professionals seeking a durable, high-sheen finish for exterior surfaces like wood and metal. Its key benefit is exceptional weather resistance and long-lasting color, ensuring surfaces look vibrant for years. A caveat to consider is its oil-based formulation, which requires specific thinner for cleanup and has longer drying times than water-based alternatives. This premium exterior gloss provides a durable, high-sheen finish that lasts, revitalizing weathered woodwork and adding a splash of color to metal surfaces with unmatched quality and performance.

FAQs

What surfaces can I use Johnstone's Hardwearing Exterior Gloss on?

This gloss paint is suitable for exterior wood, metal, and prepared masonry surfaces such as window frames, doors, garden furniture, and fences.

How long does the paint last?

When applied correctly and used with Johnstone's 6 Year Exterior Undercoat, the finish is designed to provide protection and appearance for up to 6 years, with excellent resistance to cracking, peeling, and blistering.

How do I clean my brushes after use?

Clean brushes and application tools immediately after use with Johnstone's White Spirit or another suitable mineral spirit. For dried paint, mechanical removal may be necessary.

What is the coverage rate?

The coverage rate is approximately 15 square meters per liter, though this can vary depending on the surface porosity and application method.

Can I use this paint on uPVC or plastic?

While suitable for metal and wood, it's best to use a specialized primer for plastics or uPVC before applying this gloss paint to ensure proper adhesion and durability.

What is the drying time?

The paint is touch dry in 4-6 hours. However, a full 16-24 hours is recommended before applying a second coat to ensure optimal adhesion and performance.

Are there specific geographical restrictions for delivery?

Yes, due to logistical reasons, Johnstone's is unable to deliver to the Isle of Wight, Isle of Man, and Ireland.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering well or peeling

Ensure the surface was properly prepared and cleaned. Apply a suitable primer if painting bare wood or metal. Check for signs of moisture on the surface before application.

Brush marks or uneven finish

Apply in thinner coats and use a good quality brush. Ensure the paint is stirred thoroughly. Allow adequate drying time between coats. The self-leveling properties may require a smoother application technique.

Paint is too thick to apply

Stir the paint thoroughly. If the paint is still too thick in cold conditions, a small amount of Johnstone's White Spirit can be added, but use sparingly as excessive thinning can affect durability and finish.

Color does not match expectation

Ensure you are using the correct color ('Sherwood' in this case). Colors can appear different on screen or under different lighting conditions. Always test a small area first if color matching is critical.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Surface Preparation: Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and loose material. For previously painted surfaces, lightly sand and remove any flaking paint. For bare wood, apply one coat of Johnstone's Exterior Wood Primer and Undercoat. For bare metal, apply a suitable metal primer. Prepared masonry surfaces should also be primed.

Compatibility: This gloss is ideal for exterior wood, metal, and prepared masonry. For optimal 6-year durability, use in conjunction with Johnstone's 6 Year Exterior Undercoat. Do not apply to surfaces that are damp or likely to remain wet.

Application: Stir thoroughly before use. Apply with a good quality brush or roller. Two coats are recommended for best results. Allow a minimum of 4-6 hours for the paint to become touch dry, and wait for 16-24 hours before applying a second coat. For optimal performance and the 6-year durability claim, adhere strictly to the recommended drying times and undercoat usage.

Care & Cleanup: Clean brushes and equipment immediately after use with Johnstone's White Spirit or a suitable mineral spirit. Dried paint may require scraping or burning off. Store paint in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and ensure the lid is tightly sealed.
