FAQs

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

It is suitable for exterior cement rendering, rough cast, brick, and concrete surfaces.

How long does the paint last?

The paint offers a life expectancy of up to 15 years, providing long-term protection.

How do I clean the paint after application?

The paint has self-cleaning properties that work with rain to wash away dirt. For stubborn marks, use a damp cloth with mild detergent and rinse.

What is the drying time for this paint?

It is touch dry in 1-2 hours and can be recoated after 12 hours.

Can I thin this paint?

Thinning is generally not recommended. If necessary for very porous surfaces, thin the first coat with up to 5% water.

What finish does this paint provide?

It provides a mid-sheen finish.

How much area does one litre of paint cover?

One litre covers approximately 10 square metres, depending on the surface's nature and porosity.

Troubleshooting

Paint not adhering well to the surface.

Ensure the surface was properly prepared, cleaned, and dry before application. Powdery or chalky surfaces may require a stabilising primer.

Uneven finish or brush marks visible.

Ensure paint is applied evenly with consistent pressure. Avoid overworking the paint. Ensure correct application technique for brush or roller. Check for surface irregularities that may affect lay-off.

Paint appears 'milky' or cloudy after drying.

This can sometimes occur in damp conditions. Ensure adequate ventilation during drying. The finish should typically mature over a few days.

Dirt is still adhering to the surface despite self-cleaning claims.

Heavy environmental pollution or specific types of grime may require manual cleaning. The self-cleaning property is most effective against general atmospheric dirt and washes away with rain.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation:

  1. Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and flaking paint. Remove any loose material with a stiff brush or scraper.
  2. Treat any areas affected by algae, mould, or lichen with a suitable fungicidal wash and rinse thoroughly.
  3. For powdery or chalky surfaces, apply a coat of Johnstone's Trade Masonry Cream or a suitable stabilising primer.
  4. Mask off any adjacent areas, such as windows, doors, and trim, using painter's tape.

Application:

  • Surfaces: Suitable for exterior cement rendering, rough cast, brick, and concrete.
  • Application Methods: Can be applied by brush or roller.
  • Thinning: Generally not recommended, but if necessary, thin with a small amount of water (up to 5% for the first coat on porous surfaces).
  • Coats: Apply one or two coats as required, ensuring adequate drying time between coats.
  • Drying Time: Touch dry in 1-2 hours. Recoatable after 12 hours.

Care:

  • Clean application tools with water immediately after use.
  • The self-cleaning properties mean the surface will largely maintain itself. For stubborn marks, gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild detergent, then rinse with clean water.
