What kind of protection does this paint offer?

How do I clean my paint brushes after using this product?

Since this is a solvent-based paint, clean your brushes immediately after use with white spirit or a dedicated brush cleaner.

Troubleshooting

Paint is taking longer than 16 hours to dry or recoat.

Ensure good ventilation in the area, check ambient temperature (ideally between 10°C and 30°C), and humidity levels. Applying paint too thickly can also extend drying times; apply thin, even coats.

The finish appears uneven or shows brush marks.

Ensure you are using a good quality brush and applying the paint evenly. Avoid overworking the paint once applied. If the surface was uneven to begin with, proper sanding and preparation are crucial. Apply thin coats for a smoother finish.

Paint is peeling or flaking prematurely.

This often indicates poor surface preparation. Ensure surfaces are thoroughly cleaned, dry, and free from loose material before painting. For metal, rust should be treated and primed. For wood, any loose wood fibres should be removed and the surface sanded.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Surface Preparation

Proper preparation is key to the longevity and appearance of your paintwork. Ensure all surfaces are:

  1. Clean: Remove all dirt, grease, and loose material. Use a suitable degreaser if necessary.
  2. Dry: Allow surfaces to dry completely before painting.
  3. Sound: Scrape off any flaking or peeling paint. Sand smooth any rough areas or previous paint finishes. For bare metal, an appropriate rust-inhibiting primer may be beneficial.

Compatibility

This paint is specifically formulated for exterior metal and wood surfaces. It is not intended for interior use. Its solvent-based nature means it will adhere well to properly prepared surfaces of these material types.

Application Instructions

  1. Stir Thoroughly: Before and during use, stir the paint well to ensure an even consistency and colour.
  2. Apply with Brush: Use a good quality brush for application. Apply in thin, even coats, following the grain of the wood where applicable.
  3. Drying & Recoat: Allow 16 hours for the paint to dry before applying a second coat, if needed. Drying times can vary based on temperature and humidity.

Care & Maintenance

  • Cleaning Tools: As this is a solvent-based paint, clean brushes immediately after use with white spirit or a proprietary brush cleaner.
  • Surface Cleaning: To maintain the gloss finish and protective qualities, gently clean painted surfaces with a mild detergent and water when necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Storage: Store the paint in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and frost, with the lid tightly sealed.
