FAQs
How much paint do I need?
A 750ml tin provides excellent coverage. The amount needed depends on the size of the cupboards and the number of coats required.
Do I need to prime before painting?
No, Rust-Oleum Kitchen Cupboard Paint is designed to be applied directly to the surface without a primer.
How long does it take for the paint to dry?
Allow sufficient drying time between coats as indicated on the tin. Check the specific product instructions for details.
Can I use this paint on other surfaces?
While it is designed for kitchen cupboards, it's best to test on a small, inconspicuous area first and to verify compatibility with the specific surface.
How do I clean the painted surface?
Wipe the surface with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
What if I want to spray the paint?
If spraying, dilute the paint with 10-20% water, as required. Ensure proper ventilation during application.
Troubleshooting
Paint is not adhering properly.
Ensure the surface is properly cleaned, degreased, and lightly sanded before application. Allow adequate drying time between coats.
Uneven finish or brush marks visible.
Apply paint evenly using a good quality brush or roller. Avoid over-brushing. If spraying, ensure proper dilution and technique.
