FAQs
Can I use this paint on outdoor furniture?
No, GoodHome Liberty Gloss Multi-Surface Paint is designed for interior use only and is not formulated to withstand exterior weather conditions.
How many coats of paint do I need?
Typically, two coats are recommended for best coverage and durability. However, this can vary depending on the surface colour and condition. Allow adequate drying time between coats.
What is the drying time for this paint?
Drying times can vary based on temperature and humidity. To touch, it usually dries within 1-2 hours, but recoating should be done after 4-6 hours. Full cure can take several days.
Can I paint over existing gloss paint?
Yes, but it's recommended to lightly sand the existing gloss surface to create a key for better adhesion. Ensure the surface is clean and dry before applying the new paint.
Is this paint suitable for high-moisture areas like bathrooms?
Yes, it can be used on tiles and panelling in bathrooms, and its stain-resistant properties make it easy to clean. Ensure good ventilation during application and drying.
What surfaces should I avoid using this paint on?
Avoid using it on exterior surfaces, direct contact with food, or on plastics that have not been specifically prepared for painting. Always check compatibility for unusual materials.
How do I clean my brushes after use?
As this is a gloss paint, it is likely solvent-based. Clean brushes and equipment immediately after use with a suitable brush cleaner or white spirit.
Troubleshooting
Paint not adhering well
Ensure the surface was properly cleaned, dry, and free from grease. Lightly sand glossy or smooth surfaces to create a better grip for the paint. Check for excessive thinning if solvent-based cleaners were used during prep.
Uneven or streaky finish
Apply paint in thin, even coats, avoiding overloading the brush or roller. Ensure you are working the paint evenly across the surface. Allow adequate drying time between coats as per product instructions.
Scratches appearing soon after painting
Ensure the paint has fully cured, which can take several days to a week depending on conditions, even if dry to the touch sooner. Avoid heavy use or cleaning during the curing period. Ensure proper application of sufficient coats.
Paint chipping on edges
Pay extra attention to preparing and coating edges and corners. Apply a slightly thicker, or an additional, coat to these high-wear areas. Ensure no old, flaking paint was present before application.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation is key for the best results. Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from grease, dust, and flaking paint. For previously painted surfaces, a light sanding may be required to create a key for the new paint. For very smooth or glossy surfaces, consider using a suitable primer if recommended for the specific material.
Compatibility: This paint is designed for interior use on wood, metal, melamine, and previously painted surfaces including radiators, tiles, panelling, and floors. It is not recommended for exterior use or for direct application on plastics that have not been specifically prepared.
Care: To maintain the finish, clean the painted surfaces using a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains or spills, mild household cleaning products can be used. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh scrubbing, which could damage the gloss finish.
