FAQs

What is the main benefit of using Farrow & Ball Exterior Masonry paint?

It offers exceptional durability and protection for exterior masonry surfaces, combined with Farrow & Ball's signature rich, deep colours that enhance the aesthetic of any building.

Can I use Rangwali on interior walls?

This specific product, 'Exterior Masonry', is formulated for outdoor use. For interior walls, Farrow & Ball offers different finishes like Estate Emulsion or Modern Emulsion which are more suitable.

Why is Rangwali an 'Archive' colour and what does that mean for my order?

Archive colours are historically significant shades from Farrow & Ball's past collections. They are made to order, ensuring you receive a fresh batch, but this also means they are non-returnable.

How many coats of Rangwali should I apply?

It is generally recommended to apply two coats of Farrow & Ball Exterior Masonry paint for optimal colour depth, finish, and durability. Always follow with a second coat after the first has dried.

What is the drying time for this paint?

The paint typically dries to the touch within 4-6 hours, but recoating times are also around 4-6 hours. Full curing can take several days, during which the paint should be protected from heavy wear and moisture.

Is this paint suitable for lime render?

Yes, Farrow & Ball Exterior Masonry paint is suitable for lime render, provided the render is sound and has been prepared correctly. Always use the appropriate primer.

How should I prepare a previously painted masonry surface?

Previously painted surfaces should be washed, lightly abraded to improve adhesion, and rinsed thoroughly. Ensure all dirt, grease, and chalking residue is removed before painting. Prime if necessary.

Troubleshooting

Paint not adhering well

Ensure the surface was properly prepared, clean, dry, and free of contaminants. Use the recommended Farrow & Ball Masonry & Brick Prime Plus primer on bare or porous surfaces.

Uneven colour finish

Ensure the paint was thoroughly stirred before and during application. Apply paint evenly and avoid over-brushing. Ensure consistent application thickness and allow proper drying time between coats.

Surface shows signs of weathering quickly

Verify that the correct exterior masonry primer was used and that two full coats of Rangwali were applied. Ensure the surface was dry during application and has had sufficient time to cure.

Difficulty cleaning

Use only mild detergent and water with a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning tools that can damage the paint finish.
