Ronseal Garden Paint is engineered for practicality and long-term performance in outdoor environments. Its robust formulation means you can use it to revitalize a wide range of garden items. For instance, a tired wooden fence or shed can be transformed with a fresh coat of Rainforest Green, benefiting from the 10-year color protection that ensures it looks great for years, even under harsh weather conditions. The paint's ability to resist fading and cracking is crucial for maintaining aesthetic appeal.
Beyond wood, consider giving old terracotta pots a new lease on life, turning them into vibrant accents. Brickwork or stone garden features can also be painted to introduce a cohesive color scheme. For metal garden furniture or ornaments, applying this paint (after using a suitable metal primer if necessary) will not only add color but also a protective layer against rust and wear. The rainproof in 1 hour feature is particularly beneficial, allowing you to paint even when the weather forecast is unpredictable, giving you confidence that your hard work won't be washed away.
Its high solid content contributes to a good film build, meaning less coats might be needed for full opacity and protection, offering efficiency in application.
Proper preparation is key to achieving the best results and ensuring the longevity of your painted surfaces.
Clean Surfaces: Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dirt, dust, grease, and any loose or flaking material. A stiff brush or power washer (allowing ample drying time) can be effective.
Remove Loose Paint: If painting over previously painted surfaces, scrape off any loose or peeling paint to create a smooth, sound base.
Primer for Metal: When painting metal, it is highly recommended to use a suitable metal primer first. This will ensure optimal adhesion and long-term durability.
Stir Thoroughly: Before and periodically during use, stir the paint well to ensure an even consistency and color.
Apply Ronseal Garden Paint using a good quality brush or roller. Ensure even application for a consistent finish.
Apply in suitable weather conditions, avoiding extreme heat, cold, or high humidity.
Allow the recommended drying time between coats if multiple coats are desired for a deeper color or added protection. While rainproof in 1 hour, recoat times might be longer.
This paint is highly versatile and compatible with:
Wood: Fences, sheds, garden furniture, planters.
Brick: Walls, raised beds, decorative features.
Terracotta: Pots, ornaments.
Stone: Garden statues, rockery elements.
Metal: Garden gates, furniture, ornaments (primer recommended).
Tool Cleaning: Clean brushes and rollers immediately after use with warm water.
Surface Cleaning: For painted surfaces, a gentle clean with mild soap and water can help maintain their appearance.
Reapplication: While offering 10-year protection on wood, environmental factors can vary. Inspect surfaces periodically and reapply as needed to maintain protection and vibrancy, especially on high-traffic or exposed areas.
