Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this paint suitable for indoor use?

While it is designed for outdoor use and has reduced solvents, it is best used in a well-ventilated area. For indoor projects, consider paints specifically formulated for interior applications.

How many coats should I apply?

For best results, apply 2-3 thin, even coats, allowing adequate drying time between each coat. The number of coats may vary depending on the surface and desired opacity.

Can I paint over existing paint?

Yes, provided the existing paint is clean, dry, and well-adhered. Lightly sanding glossy surfaces may improve adhesion. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

What is the drying time?

The paint is touch dry in approximately 15-20 minutes and ready for recoating in about 1 hour. Full cure time may take longer depending on environmental conditions.

How much area does one can cover?

A 400ml can typically covers approximately 2 square meters (22 sq ft) with a single coat, but this can vary based on application technique and surface porosity.

Can this paint be used on metal garden furniture?

Yes, it can be used on metal garden furniture. Ensure any rust is removed and the surface is properly prepared and primed for best adhesion and durability.

Is this paint durable against rain and sun?

Yes, PlastiKote Garden Colours is formulated for outdoor use and offers good durability against typical weather conditions. However, extreme exposure or harsh cleaning may affect longevity.

Troubleshooting

Uneven spray or splattering

Shake the can more vigorously. Ensure the nozzle is clean and held at an even distance from the surface. Try spraying in shorter bursts.

Paint is not adhering well

Ensure the surface was properly cleaned and dried before application. Lightly sand glossy surfaces. Apply a second coat if the first was too thin.

Color appears lighter than expected

Apply additional thin coats. Ensure the can was shaken sufficiently before and during use. Check lighting conditions during application.

Nozzle is clogged

Remove the nozzle and soak it in water or a suitable solvent (check product recommendations). Clean the nozzle opening with a fine pin. Re-attach and test spray.
