Product Information

Full details

This Thorndown Bergamot Grey Wood Paint is for DIY enthusiasts and homeowners looking for a durable, versatile, and eco-friendly finish for timber, metal, and plastic surfaces. Its key benefit is providing a rich, deep charcoal grey colour with an opaque satin finish that protects against the weather while allowing wood grain to show through. A caveat is that achieving a fully water-repellent finish after dilution requires an additional coat of UV Clear.

FAQs

Do I need to prime the surface before using Thorndown Bergamot Grey Wood Paint?

No, primer and undercoat are not required. The paint is designed to adhere directly to most surfaces.

Can I use this paint on metal surfaces?

Yes, this paint can be used on metal surfaces. Ensure the metal is clean and any loose rust is removed before application.

How do I achieve a wood stain effect?

You can dilute the paint with water to achieve a wood stain effect. For a water-repellent finish after dilution, apply a couple of coats of Thorndown UV Clear.

What is the drying time for this paint?

Under good weather conditions, the paint typically dries in one to two hours.

Is this paint safe for indoor use?

Yes, it is an environmentally friendly, water-based, and odour-free paint with minimal VOCs, making it suitable for indoor projects.

How should I clean my brushes after using this paint?

Clean brushes and equipment immediately after use with water.

Will the colour fade in direct sunlight?

No, Thorndown paints contain high-quality exterior-grade colourants that provide deep colour that lasts for years without UV fading in the sun.

Can I mix Thorndown Bergamot Grey with other Thorndown colours?

Yes, you can mix Thorndown colours to create custom shades. Ensure you mix enough for the entire project to maintain colour consistency.

Troubleshooting

Paint not adhering well

Ensure the surface was properly cleaned and dried before application. Remove any dust, grease, or old flaking paint.

Uneven colour or finish

Ensure the paint was stirred thoroughly before and during application. Apply in thin, even coats. If diluted, ensure consistent dilution ratios.

Paint remains tacky after drying

This can occur in very humid or cold conditions. Ensure application is within recommended temperature and humidity ranges. Allow longer drying time in adverse conditions.

Blocked nozzle or dried paint in tin

Ensure the lid is sealed tightly after each use. If minor blockages occur, clear with a damp cloth. For dried paint, carefully remove any hardened pieces before re-stirring.
