FAQs

Do I need to prime surfaces before using this paint?

No, a primer is not required for most substrates including wood, metal, brick, terracotta, and stone.

How long does it take for the paint to dry?

The paint is quick-drying. Recoating is possible within a few hours, but allow adequate time for full curing before heavy use.

Can I use this paint on plastic garden furniture?

This paint is designed for wood, metal, brick, terracotta, and stone. While it might adhere to some plastics, preparation or a specific plastic primer may be necessary for optimal results. Test in an inconspicuous area first.

How do I clean my brushes after using this paint?

Clean your brushes and equipment immediately after use with water.

What is the best way to clean painted surfaces?

Clean painted surfaces with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners.

Is this paint suitable for interior use?

This paint is formulated for exterior use. While it can be used indoors, its primary benefits are weather resistance and outdoor protection. Ensure good ventilation if used indoors.

Does the 'Silver Mound' colour have a sheen?

The paint typically dries to a matte finish. The 'contains wax' feature provides a subtle, protective quality rather than a high gloss.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering well

Ensure the surface was clean, dry, and free from grease before application. Lightly abrade very glossy surfaces. Ensure adequate drying time between coats.

Uneven finish or brush marks visible

Stir the paint thoroughly before and during application. Apply thin, even coats. Avoid overworking the paint. Ensure consistent brush strokes.

Paint seems too thick

Stir the paint well. If necessary, add a very small amount of water (less than 5%) for easier application, but avoid over-thinning.

Paint chipping after drying

Ensure the surface was properly prepared and free of contaminants. For very porous surfaces, consider applying an additional wax finish after the paint is fully cured.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Preparation:

Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and loose material. For best adhesion, lightly abrade glossy surfaces. No primer is required for most substrates including metal, wood, brick, terracotta, and stone.

Application:

Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply with a brush or roller. Apply two coats for best results, allowing adequate drying time between coats. If painting porous surfaces like unglazed terracotta or stone, an additional wax finish can be applied after the paint is fully dry for enhanced protection.

Compatibility:

Compatible with wood, metal, brick, terracotta, and stone. Not recommended for direct application onto plastics unless specifically prepared.

Care:

Clean brushes and equipment immediately after use with water. To clean painted surfaces, use a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
