FAQs
Can this paint be used on wood windows?
This paint is specifically formulated for UPVC. While it might adhere to primed wood, it is not the optimal product for wood surfaces. Paintnuts offers specific wood paints.

The paint is ultra-fast drying, typically touch-dry within 15-30 minutes. However, full curing can take several days.
Can I use this paint on uPVC gutters or downpipes?
Yes, this paint is suitable for UPVC gutters and downpipes as it is weatherproof and UV resistant.
How should I clean the painted surface?
Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Mild, non-abrasive soap can be used if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
What finishes are available?
This paint is available in matt, satin, and gloss finishes.
Is thinning required for brush or roller application?
Thinning is generally not required for brush or roller application, but always refer to the specific product instructions for best results.
Troubleshooting
Paint not adhering well
Ensure the UPVC surface was thoroughly cleaned and degreased before application. Reapply after proper surface preparation.
Uneven finish from spray can
Shake the can more frequently during use. Ensure consistent distance and speed while spraying. Check for blockages in the nozzle.
Runs or drips on vertical surfaces
Apply paint in thin, even coats. Allow each coat to become touch-dry before applying the next. Reduce the amount of paint applied per coat.
Colour does not match expected RAL shade
Verify the RAL code on the product packaging and ensure it matches the desired shade. Note that lighting conditions and the underlying surface colour can affect the final appearance.
Paint is drying too slowly
Ensure application is within the recommended temperature range (typically 10-25°C) and humidity levels are not excessively high.
