Product Information

Full details

This Johnstone's Trade Stormshield Black Satin Paint 2.5L is ideal for homeowners and trade professionals seeking durable, long-lasting protection for exterior wood and concrete surfaces. Its key benefit is superior resistance to cracking and flaking due to its microporous, solvent-based formula, offering a more robust finish than standard satin paints. A caveat to note is its requirement for a specific primer undercoat for optimal performance.

FAQs

What surfaces can Johnstone's Trade Stormshield Black Satin Paint be used on?

This paint is designed for exterior wood and concrete surfaces. It's important to prepare the surface correctly for optimal adhesion and durability.

Do I need to use a primer with this paint?

Yes, for best results and maximum durability, it is recommended to use Johnstone's Trade Stormshield Flexible Primer Undercoat before applying the satin topcoat.

What is the coverage rate of this paint?

The paint covers approximately 15 to 18 square meters per litre, depending on the surface's porosity and condition.

Can I use this paint indoors?

While designed for exterior use, it can technically be used indoors if adequate ventilation is provided due to its solvent-based nature. However, its primary benefits are geared towards exterior protection.

How should I clean my tools after using this paint?

Tools should be cleaned immediately after use with a suitable solvent, such as white spirit.

What is the best temperature for applying this paint?

It's best applied in dry conditions between 10°C and 25°C. Avoid direct sunlight or when rain is imminent.

How many coats of this paint should I apply?

It is generally recommended to apply 1-2 top coats of the Flexible Satin after the primer undercoat has been applied.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering well to the surface.

Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned, dried, and properly prepared. Check if the recommended primer was used and applied correctly. Lightly abrading the surface before priming can also improve adhesion.

Uneven finish or brush/roller marks are visible.

Apply paint with consistent pressure and direction. Avoid overworking the paint. Ensure adequate lighting during application. Apply a thinner second coat if the first coat was too heavy.

Paint is peeling or flaking shortly after application.

This usually indicates poor surface preparation or application in adverse conditions. Ensure the surface was completely dry and that primer was used. Re-prepare the surface and reapply following all guidelines.

The satin finish appears too glossy or too matte.

Ensure the can was thoroughly stirred before and during application. Variations in finish can sometimes occur if the paint is not mixed properly or if applied too thinly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Care:
