Ronseal Garden Paint - Lime Zest - 750ml

This paint is specifically formulated for outdoor garden substrates and is not recommended for indoor use. Its properties are optimized for exterior weather conditions.

Thanks to its high solid content and durable formulation, Ronseal Garden Paint is designed for long-lasting protection and colour. Proper surface preparation and application will help maximize its longevity, often for several years, resisting cracking and peeling.

It's compatible with a wide range of garden materials including wood, metal, terracotta, brick, and stone. However, it is not recommended for decking or surfaces that experience heavy foot traffic.

Typically, two coats are recommended to achieve optimal colour depth and protection. More coats might be necessary for very porous surfaces or if you are painting over a significantly different original colour to ensure full opacity and vibrancy.

You can clean brushes and rollers immediately after use with warm, soapy water. Ensure all paint residue is removed to keep your tools in good condition.

Once fully dry, the paint is generally considered safe for garden environments. However, it's always best to avoid direct contact with plants and keep pets away from wet painted surfaces until the paint has completely cured.

Yes, you can, provided the existing paint is sound, clean, and not flaking or peeling. Any loose paint should be removed, and the surface prepared as usual for best adhesion.

Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned, dry, and free from loose material, dust, or old flaking paint before application. Sanding wooden surfaces can improve adhesion. If painting over existing paint, ensure the old paint is sound and not flaking.

Stir the paint thoroughly before and during application to ensure pigments are evenly distributed. Apply paint in thin, even coats, allowing adequate drying time between each coat. Ensure you are using a good quality brush or roller suitable for outdoor paint.

High humidity, low temperatures, or applying paint too thickly can extend drying times. Ensure good ventilation. For best results, apply when temperatures are above 10°C and humidity is low. Although rainproof in 1 hour, full cure time may be longer.

The final colour can be affected by the original surface colour and porosity. Always perform a patch test on an inconspicuous area first. Multiple coats may be needed to achieve the desired intensity, especially on darker or highly porous surfaces.
