Ronseal Garden Paint in Slate is formulated to deliver both aesthetic enhancement and robust protection across a variety of garden substrates. Its high solid content ensures a good film build, translating to superior durability compared to standard paints. For best results, surfaces should be clean, dry, and free from loose material before application. On wood, apply directly with a brush, ensuring even coverage. For terracotta, brick, and stone, the paint penetrates to offer a vibrant, waterproof layer. When working with metal, it is crucial to apply a suitable metal primer first to prevent corrosion and ensure strong adhesion of the garden paint. The paint is rainproof within an hour, making it suitable for quick outdoor projects, though full curing takes longer. Its ability to resist cracking and peeling means your garden features will maintain their freshly painted look for an extended period, even when exposed to varying weather conditions. For example, revitalise an old wooden fence, add a modern touch to terracotta pots, or protect stone ornaments with a consistent, durable colour.
Before applying Ronseal Garden Paint, ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dirt, dust, and loose particles. For wood, lightly sand any rough areas. For metal, remove any rust and apply a suitable metal primer before painting. On terracotta, brick, and stone, brush off any loose debris. Stir the paint thoroughly before and during use to ensure consistent colour and performance. No special setup tools are required beyond a brush or roller, and a stirring stick.
This paint is highly compatible with a range of common garden materials:
Wood: Fences, sheds, garden furniture.
Terracotta: Plant pots, decorative items.
Brick: Walls, garden features.
Stone: Ornaments, paving (non-traffic areas).
Metal: Gates, railings, furniture (requires a primer).
To maintain painted surfaces, regularly clean them with a soft brush or damp cloth to remove dirt build-up. Avoid using harsh abrasive cleaners as these can damage the paint finish. Store any leftover paint in its original container, tightly sealed, in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and frost. Clean brushes and rollers immediately after use with warm, soapy water. Ensure the lid is securely replaced on the tin after each use to prevent the paint from drying out.
