Johnstone's Woodcare Garden Colours Paint - Steel Smoke

This paint is suitable for most types of exterior wood, including those found on garden furniture, sheds, fences, arbours, summer houses, and trellis.

Yes, but only after properly preparing the surface. Remove any loose or flaking paint and lightly sand the surface to ensure good adhesion.

Apply the paint evenly with a brush or roller, working in the direction of the wood grain. Avoid applying excessively thick coats, as this can lead to a less smooth finish and prolonged drying times.

The paint is formulated to be fade-resisting and long-lasting, designed to withstand harsh garden weather and maintain its vibrancy for an extended period.

Clean your brushes and tools immediately after use with water. This will prevent the paint from drying on them.

Ensure the surface was properly cleaned and prepared. Remove any loose paint, dirt, or grease. Lightly sand the surface before application.

Stir the paint thoroughly before and during use. Ensure consistent application technique and avoid over-brushing. Apply a second coat if necessary.
