FAQs

How long does it take for the paint to be rainproof?

The paint becomes rainproof in approximately 20 minutes after application.

Can I use this paint on wood or metal?

This paint is specifically designed for masonry surfaces such as cement, rendering, rough cast, brick, and concrete. It is not recommended for wood or metal.

What is the best way to prepare a porous surface?

For optimal performance and adhesion on porous surfaces like concrete or brick, we recommend applying Pliocem Concrete Sealer first and allowing it to dry completely before applying the masonry paint.

What temperature range is suitable for application?

The paint performs best when applied in temperatures between 5°C and 25°C.

Can I paint over existing masonry paint?

Yes, this paint is suitable for use on previously painted masonry surfaces, provided the existing paint is sound and well-adhered.

How do I clean my brushes after use?

Clean all application tools with water immediately after use before the paint dries.

What is the coverage rate?

Coverage varies depending on the surface porosity and texture. Please refer to the product tin for specific coverage details, typically around 10-12 square meters per litre.

Troubleshooting

Paint not adhering well

Ensure the surface was properly prepared, clean, and dry. For porous surfaces, check if Pliocem Concrete Sealer was applied and allowed to dry before painting.

Poor finish or streaks

Ensure paint was stirred thoroughly. Apply in consistent, even coats, avoiding over-brushing. Check for extreme temperature or humidity during application.

Paint wash-off during rain

Ensure the paint has had at least 20 minutes to become rainproof. Application in conditions below 5°C or above 25°C may affect drying and rain resistance.

Difficulty covering surface

Apply a thinner, even coat. If covering a very dark or stained surface, a second coat may be necessary after the first has dried.

Pros

  • Quick drying and rainproof within 20 minutes.
  • Excellent weather and moisture resistance.

  • Good adhesion for a lasting finish.
  • Can be applied in cooler, damper conditions than many paints.

Cons

  • Application in extreme cold may still be limited.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation:

  1. Ensure the masonry surface is clean, dry, and free from loose debris, mould, or flaking paint.
  2. For new or very porous surfaces, it is recommended to apply a coat of Pliocem Concrete Sealer and allow it to dry completely.
  3. Previously painted surfaces should be sound and lightly abraded if necessary.

Application:

  • Stir the paint thoroughly before use.
  • Apply using a brush or roller suitable for masonry paints.
  • Apply in temperatures between 5°C and 25°C for optimal performance.
  • Avoid application if frost is expected or if rain is imminent within 20 minutes of the final coat.

Compatibility:

  • Suitable for cement, rendering, rough cast, brick, and concrete.
  • Can be used on new and previously painted masonry.

Care:

  • Clean brushes and rollers with water immediately after use.
  • Store paint in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and frost.
