Troubleshooting

Paint not adhering well

Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned and completely dry before application. Remove any wax or oil contaminants. The surface may have required priming or sanding if it was a particularly glossy or problematic material not covered by the 'direct application' guidelines.

Uneven or streaky finish

Stir the paint thoroughly for at least 2 minutes before and periodically during use. Ensure an even application with a brush or roller, avoiding overworking the paint. Apply in consistent strokes.

Slow drying time

Drying times can be affected by high humidity, low temperatures, or thick application. Ensure application occurs within optimal temperature and humidity conditions. Apply thinner coats if necessary.

Poor coverage

Ensure the paint is stirred adequately and applied at the recommended coverage rate. For significantly darker or uneven surfaces, a second coat may be necessary after the first has dried.

Cons

  • May require multiple coats for full opacity, depending on the existing surface colour.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Before application, ensure the surface is free from wax, oil, dirt, and is completely dry. Stir the paint thoroughly with a spatula for at least 2 minutes to ensure an even consistency.

Compatibility: This paint is suitable for direct application to most exterior metal and masonry surfaces without prior sanding or priming. It can also be applied directly over existing paint and varnish, provided the surface is properly prepared (clean and dry, free from wax/oil).

Care: Use a brush or roller for application. Clean brushes, rollers, and any spills immediately after use with water. This paint is specifically designed for exterior use and should not be used indoors; use Hemway Interior Paint for internal projects.
