FAQs
What surfaces can I use Rust-Oleum Garden Paint on?
The paint is suitable for wood, brick, stone, plaster, and suitably primed rigid surfaces such as metal or plastic.
Do I need to prime the surface before painting?
No, the paint is designed to be applied directly to the surface without the need for a primer, provided the surface is suitably prepared.
How long does the paint last?
The paint is designed to last for up to 6 years before first maintenance.
How many coats of paint are needed?
Generally, one coat is sufficient, but for optimal coverage or if painting over a darker colour, a second coat may be necessary.
Can I use this paint on plastic?
Yes, but ensure the plastic surface is suitably primed first.
How do I clean the paint brushes and rollers?
Clean brushes and rollers with water immediately after use.
Is the paint environmentally friendly?
Yes, it comes in an infinitely recyclable tin, and the cardboard packaging is partially made from recycled materials.
Troubleshooting
Paint is not adhering properly.
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and properly prepared. Lightly sand the surface if needed. Ensure you are using the correct application method.
Uneven finish or coverage.
Apply an even coat of paint and avoid applying too much paint at once. Multiple thin coats usually give better results than one thick coat.
Paint is taking too long to dry.
Make sure the ambient temperature and humidity are within the recommended range. Check the manufacturer's instructions for ideal conditions. Ensure proper ventilation.
Mould growth appearing on painted surface.
Ensure the surface is properly cleaned before applying the paint. If mould appears, clean the surface with a mould removing solution before repainting.
