FAQs

What surfaces can I use this floor paint on?

This paint is designed for concrete, cement screed, stone, and previously painted floors. It's ideal for garages, workshops, basements, and patios.

How many coats of paint should I apply?

Two coats are generally recommended for optimal durability and protection. Ensure adequate drying time between coats.

What is the best way to apply this paint?

You can apply the paint using a roller or a brush. For best results and a smooth finish, maintain a wet edge during application.

How long does it take for the paint to dry?

Drying times vary based on temperature and humidity. As an oil-based product, it will take longer to dry than water-based paints. Refer to the product's technical data sheet for specific drying and curing times.

How do I clean up application tools?

Tools should be cleaned immediately after use with a suitable solvent, such as white spirit or mineral turpentine.

Is this paint suitable for high-traffic areas?

Yes, this paint is engineered for high traffic and garage floor protection, offering durability and abrasion resistance.

What is the finish of this paint?

The paint provides a semi-gloss finish, which is smooth, hard-wearing, and easy to clean.

Troubleshooting

Paint not adhering well

Ensure the surface was properly cleaned, degreased, and dry before application. Consider using a suitable primer for better adhesion.

Uneven finish or brush marks

Apply thinner coats and maintain a wet edge. Use a high-quality roller designed for oil-based paints. Ensure consistent application technique.

Slow drying time

Ensure proper ventilation and a consistent temperature. Avoid applying too thickly. Oil-based paints inherently have longer drying times than water-based alternatives.

Strong odor persists

Ensure the area is thoroughly ventilated. The odor should dissipate as the paint fully cures, which can take several days to weeks depending on conditions. Avoid prolonged exposure in poorly ventilated spaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from grease, oil, and loose debris. For best results on bare concrete, a primer is recommended. Ensure the floor is well-ventilated before application.

Application: Apply using a good quality brush or roller. Work in sections, maintaining a wet edge to avoid lap marks. Two coats are recommended for optimal protection. Allow adequate drying time between coats, referring to product specifications for exact times. Ensure good ventilation during application and drying.

Compatibility: Suitable for concrete, cement screed, stone, and previously painted floors. Not recommended for use on asphalt or previously coated epoxy floors without testing.

Care: Clean spills immediately. For routine cleaning, use a damp mop with a mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
