FAQs

Do I need to prime before painting?

No, priming is not necessary on most surfaces. However, for best results on bare wood, sanding is recommended, and priming is suggested if stain bleed may be an issue.

How many coats of paint are needed?

Two coats are recommended for optimal coverage and a consistent finish.

Can I use this paint on metal?

Yes, but ensure the metal surface is suitably primed before applying the paint.

Is this paint safe for children's furniture?

Yes, Rust-Oleum Gloss Furniture Paint is certified Toy Safe, making it suitable for use in nurseries and playrooms.

How do I clean the painted surface?

Wipe the surface with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners.

Can I use this paint outdoors?

While it can be used on outdoor furniture, ensure it's protected from direct weather exposure, and consider a suitable topcoat for added protection.

What is the coverage of a 750ml tin?

Coverage depends on the surface and application method. Typically, a 750ml tin will cover a reasonable area, but the exact coverage is dependent on surface porosity and application thickness.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering properly.

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of wax or oil. Lightly sand the surface before painting. For certain surfaces, priming may be needed.

Paint is not drying quickly.

Ensure adequate ventilation. Check the temperature and humidity levels, as these can affect drying time. Make sure you haven't applied the paint too thickly.

Brush strokes are visible.

Use a high-quality brush or roller. Apply thin, even coats, and avoid overbrushing. Using a sprayer can also minimize brush strokes.

Color is not as expected.

Always test the color with a tester sachet. The final color may vary based on the surface and the number of coats applied.
