FAQs

How much paint will I need?

Coverage depends on the surface and application method. Check the product label for the estimated coverage per litre. It is always a good idea to buy a bit extra to account for any wastage.

Can I use this paint on interior walls?

No, this paint is specifically formulated for exterior masonry surfaces.

How long does it take for the paint to dry?

Drying times will vary depending on the weather conditions. Refer to the product label for specific drying times. Generally, allow several hours between coats.

What is the best way to apply the paint?

You can use a brush or a roller designed for masonry paint. The choice depends on the size of the area and your personal preference.

Can I apply this paint over existing paint?

Yes, but ensure the existing paint is sound and properly prepared. Lightly sand the surface, clean and prime if needed.

How do I clean the paint brushes and rollers?

Wash tools immediately after use with water.

What colours are available?

The ultra smooth range is available in grey, and other colours. Check the product listings for all available colours.

How long will the paint last?

The paint is designed to provide a long-lasting finish. The exact lifespan will depend on environmental factors and how the paint is applied. In the correct conditions, it can last for many years.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering properly.

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from loose material. Use a primer if necessary and apply the paint in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.

Colour is uneven or patchy.

Ensure thorough stirring of the paint before application. Apply two coats, allowing adequate drying time between coats. Use a consistent application technique.

Paint is blistering or cracking.

This may be due to applying the paint in direct sunlight or on a very hot surface. Avoid painting in these conditions. Ensure the surface is completely dry before application.

The paint is not waterproof.

Ensure the paint has fully cured. Check for any damage to the paint film. Reapply if necessary. Ensure the correct product is being used and it is applied according to instructions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Surface Preparation: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from loose or flaking paint, algae, and moss. Remove any existing loose material with a scraper or wire brush. Wash the surface with a fungicidal wash to kill any remaining organic growth and allow to dry.
  2. Priming: If necessary, apply a suitable primer designed for masonry surfaces before applying the Sandtex paint. This is particularly important for porous surfaces or when changing to a significantly different colour.
  3. Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply two coats of Sandtex Ultra Smooth Masonry Paint, allowing sufficient drying time between coats (as per the manufacturer's instructions). Use a brush or roller designed for masonry paint.
  4. Compatibility: This paint is compatible with most common masonry surfaces, including brick, render, concrete, and previously painted surfaces. Always test a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure compatibility.
  5. Care: Wash tools immediately after use with water. Clean any spills or splatters promptly. Once the paint is fully dry, the surface can be washed gently with water and a mild detergent to remove dirt and grime.
