FAQs

Do I need to sand before using this paint?

No, priming and sanding are generally not required on most surfaces. However, for very glossy surfaces, a light sanding may improve adhesion.

Can I use this paint on outdoor furniture?

This paint is primarily designed for interior use. For outdoor furniture, consider a paint specifically formulated for outdoor conditions.

How many coats of paint will I need?

In most cases, one coat will provide good coverage. However, depending on the colour and the surface, a second coat may be necessary.

How do I achieve a distressed look?

Apply two coats of paint in different colours, letting the first coat dry completely. Then, lightly sand the edges and areas where wear would naturally occur to reveal the underlying colour.

Can I apply a topcoat?

Yes, you can apply Rust-Oleum Furniture Finishing Wax or Lacquer for added protection and to enhance the finish.

What kind of brush should I use?

A good quality synthetic bristle brush or a foam roller is recommended for a smooth finish.

How long does it take for the paint to dry?

Drying times can vary depending on temperature and humidity, but generally, allow at least 1-2 hours between coats. Refer to the product label for specific drying times.

How much paint will I need?

Coverage depends on the surface and application method. A 750ml tin will usually cover a reasonable amount of furniture. Please check the product label for coverage information.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering properly.

Ensure the surface is clean and free of wax or other contaminants. Lightly sand glossy surfaces before painting. Allow paint to dry completely.

Uneven finish.

Apply the paint evenly, avoiding excessive build-up. Use a good quality brush or roller. Multiple thin coats are better than one thick coat.

Colour not as expected.

Ensure that you have stirred the paint thoroughly before application. Apply a second coat if needed. Consider the existing colour of the furniture, which may affect the final appearance.
