Product Information

Full details

The Caprican Colour It Multi Surface Paint is an ideal solution for DIYers and professionals looking for a robust, technical-grade protective finish for metal, wood, furniture, and radiators. It excels at providing an ultra-durable acrylic polymer shield that resists rust, moisture, and physical impact, ensuring long-lasting protection for both indoor and outdoor projects. While it delivers a professional-grade aesthetic, users should note that optimal results depend on meticulous surface preparation, as the high-opacity formula requires a clean and dry base to adhere correctly.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can this paint be used on outdoor metal?

Yes, it is designed for both interior and exterior use, providing a weather-stable shield against rust and moisture.

Do I need a primer before using this paint?

While the paint has high opacity, we recommend priming bare metal or porous wood surfaces to ensure the best possible adhesion.

Is it safe for use on radiators?

Yes, the formula is heat-resistant, making it ideal for standard residential radiators.

How many coats should I apply?

Two coats are generally recommended for full opacity and maximum protective durability.

Can I use a spray gun with this paint?

This product is formulated as a brush-on liquid. Using a spray gun may require thinning, which could affect the protective properties.

What should I use to clean my brushes?

Check the product packaging for specific solvent recommendations, usually mineral spirits or a specialized paint thinner.

Troubleshooting

Paint is bubbling or peeling shortly after application

This usually indicates the surface was not clean or contained residual moisture. Sand the affected area and reapply to a completely dry, degreased surface.

Brush strokes are visible

Use a high-quality synthetic brush and avoid over-working the paint once it begins to set. Apply thin, even layers.

Paint feels sticky long after application

The application layer may be too thick or the environment has high humidity. Ensure thin coats and proper ventilation while drying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure maximum longevity of the finish, proper preparation is essential.

  1. Surface Preparation: Remove all loose paint, rust, or debris using a wire brush or sandpaper. Ensure the surface is free of oil, wax, and dust by wiping it down with a suitable degreaser.
  2. Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply using a high-quality synthetic brush or a foam roller to ensure an even coat.
  3. Drying: While the formula is quick-drying, allow sufficient time between coats (at least 2-4 hours depending on humidity) to prevent trapping moisture.
  4. Care: Keep the container tightly sealed in a cool, dry area when not in use. Clean brushes immediately after application using recommended solvents as directed by the manufacturer.
