FAQs
Can I use this paint indoors?
While the paint is non-toxic and water-based, it is specifically formulated for exterior use and weather resistance. For indoor projects, a different product may be more suitable.
What is the best way to apply this paint?
The paint is designed for versatility and can be sprayed, rolled, or brushed. Choose the method that best suits your project and desired finish. Stir well before use, regardless of the application method.
How long does the paint last outdoors?
The paint is designed to be weather-resistant and durable. With proper application and care, it should provide long-lasting protection and finish for several years, resisting water, mould, and fungus.
Can I paint over existing dark paint with this white paint?
This product is described as 'dark black matt finish'. If you are referring to a different colour, please consult the product details. For the black variant, it is designed to cover existing finishes in one coat, but if painting over a very dark or absorbent surface, a second coat might be beneficial for optimal opacity and uniformity.
What are the ideal conditions for painting?
The best conditions for application and curing are dry weather with temperatures between 10°C and 20°C. Avoid painting in rain, high humidity, or temperatures below 10°C.
Is this paint suitable for metal surfaces?
This paint is specifically designed for timber structures. It may not adhere properly or provide the intended protection on metal surfaces. Please refer to specific metal primers and coatings for such applications.
Troubleshooting
Paint not adhering well
Ensure the surface was properly cleaned and dry before application. Remove any dust, dirt, or grease. Check for excessively smooth or non-porous surfaces that may need light abrasion.
Uneven finish or brush marks visible
Apply the paint evenly with consistent brush strokes or roller passes. Ensure the paint is well-stirred. For spray application, maintain a consistent distance and speed. Consider a second thin coat if necessary for a perfectly uniform appearance.
Slow drying time
Drying times are dependent on temperature, humidity, and airflow. Ensure application occurs within the recommended temperature range (10°C-20°C) and in dry conditions. Increase ventilation if possible. Avoid applying in very humid or cold weather.
Paint appears lighter than expected
Ensure the paint was thoroughly stirred, as the heavy pigmentation can settle. If applied very thinly or over a dark, absorbent surface, a second coat might be needed for full opacity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the surface to be painted is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or loose material. For previously painted surfaces, ensure they are sound. The paint is ready to use – no thinning is required. Stir thoroughly before application.
Compatibility: This paint is designed for exterior use, particularly on wood. It is suitable for barn doors, sheds, fences, and other exterior timber structures. Avoid use on surfaces not intended for exterior painting.
Care: Clean application tools immediately after use with water. For spills or drips on non-target surfaces, wipe away while wet. Once fully cured, the painted surface can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and frost.
