FAQs

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

This paint is suitable for exterior wood, metal, and plastic surfaces. Ensure surfaces are properly prepared and primed if necessary.

How many coats of paint are recommended?

Two coats are generally recommended for optimal durability and a uniform finish. Allow sufficient drying time between coats.

Can I use this paint in damp conditions?

No, it is best to apply this paint in dry conditions. Avoid painting when rain is expected or if the surface is damp.

How do I clean my brushes after use?

Clean brushes and equipment immediately after use with white spirit.

What is the best way to prepare the surface before painting?

Surfaces should be clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and flaking paint. Bare wood and metal will require appropriate priming.

Does this paint offer UV protection?

The paint provides a durable, weather-resistant coating that protects against the elements, which includes protection from UV degradation, helping to maintain color and finish.

Can this paint be applied over existing paint?

Yes, provided the existing paint is sound and well-adhered. Lightly abrade glossy surfaces before application.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering well

Ensure the surface was properly prepared, clean, dry, and free from contaminants. Re-prime if necessary.

Uneven finish or brush marks

Stir the paint thoroughly. Apply thin, even coats. Avoid over-brushing. Ensure application conditions are suitable (not too hot, cold, or humid).

Drying time is excessive

Check environmental conditions. Lower temperatures and high humidity can significantly slow drying. Ensure adequate ventilation.

Paint is too thick to apply

Stir well. If necessary, thin slightly with a maximum of 10% white spirit for brush application, following manufacturer guidelines.
