FAQs
How much paint do I need?
Coverage depends on the surface and application method. A 750ml tin typically covers a significant area. Refer to the product label for specific coverage details.
Can I use this paint on other surfaces?
While designed for uPVC, it's not recommended for other surfaces without proper priming and testing.
How long does the paint take to dry?
Touch-dry in approximately 1 hour. Allow sufficient time between coats, as specified on the product label.
Is the paint weather-resistant?
Yes, it is weather and mould resistant, suitable for both interior and exterior use.
Do I need a primer?

How do I clean my painting tools?
Clean brushes and rollers with water immediately after use.
Can I use a different brand of cleaner to prep the surface?
It is best to use a cleaner specifically designed for uPVC. Ensure the cleaner is compatible with the paint.
Troubleshooting
Paint is peeling or flaking.
Ensure proper surface preparation. Clean the surface thoroughly and remove any loose paint or debris before reapplying. Lightly sand the surface for better adhesion.
Paint is not adhering properly.
Make sure the surface is completely clean and dry before painting. Ensure the paint is compatible with the uPVC material.
Colour is not as expected.
Test the colour on a small, inconspicuous area first. Ensure the paint has been properly mixed and that the correct colour has been applied.
Paint is running or dripping.
Apply thinner coats and avoid overloading the brush or roller. If using a sprayer, adjust the settings to avoid excessive paint application.
