FAQs
Can this paint be used on outdoor surfaces?
Yes, this paint is suitable for both interior and exterior use, including wood, metal, and concrete.
How long do I need to wait before applying a second coat?
You must wait a full 24 hours for the paint to achieve a full hard dry before recoating.
Does this paint require a primer?
While it can be applied directly to clean surfaces, using a suitable primer is recommended for bare metal or wood to ensure the best longevity and adhesion.
Can I thin this paint?
This is a non-drip high-build formula; thinning it is generally not recommended as it will alter the consistency and performance.
How should I dispose of the brush cleaner?
Dispose of white spirit and cleaning rags according to your local council's hazardous waste regulations.
Troubleshooting
Paint is not drying after 10 hours
High humidity or low temperatures can significantly extend drying times. Ensure the area is well-ventilated and within standard room temperature ranges.
Brush hardened after use
If the brush was not cleaned immediately with white spirit, it is likely permanently damaged. For future use, ensure immediate cleaning in a well-ventilated area.
Finish appears uneven or streaky
Avoid over-brushing the paint. Apply a smooth, consistent layer and allow the non-drip formula to level itself out as it dries.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before you begin, ensure the target surface is entirely clean, dry, and free of contaminants like dust, grease, or rust. Sanding surfaces slightly beforehand can improve adhesion, particularly on metal or previously painted wood. Apply the paint using the provided 1-inch brush with long, even strokes. Once finished, it is crucial to clean the brush immediately using white spirit or a dedicated brush cleaner, as the solvent-based nature of the paint will permanently harden bristles if left to dry. Store the tin in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly sealed to prevent the contents from drying out between uses.
