FAQs

What types of surfaces can I use this paint on?

This paint is specifically designed for exterior wood and metal surfaces, such as doors, window frames, garden furniture, and railings.

How much area does one 750ml tin cover?

A 750ml tin typically covers up to 18 m² on average, though actual coverage may vary depending on surface porosity, texture, and application technique.

How many coats are recommended, and how long should I wait between coats?

For the best finish and full 10-year weather protection, two coats are recommended. You can recoat after just 6 hours, thanks to its quick-drying formula.

Is this paint safe for the environment or for use around pets/children?

Yes, this paint is water-based and has minimal VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds), making it a safer and more environmentally conscious choice for use around your home.

How do I ensure the 10-year weather protection guarantee?

The 10-year guarantee applies provided the surfaces are in good condition before application. Proper surface preparation, including cleaning, drying, and repairing any damage, is crucial for optimal adhesion and durability.

Can I apply this paint with a roller or spray gun?

The product description specifies application with a brush for optimal results. While other methods might be technically possible, a brush is recommended to achieve the intended finish and performance.

How do I clean my brushes after using this paint?

Since it's a water-based paint, you can clean your brushes immediately after use with clean water.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not drying within 6 hours for recoat.

Ensure adequate ventilation and suitable ambient temperature (typically above 10°C). High humidity or low temperatures can significantly extend drying times. Apply thin, even coats to prevent delayed drying.

Poor finish or uneven color after two coats.

Confirm that the surface was properly prepared (clean, dry, smooth). Ensure the paint was thoroughly stirred before and during application. Apply coats evenly, avoiding over-brushing. Very porous surfaces might require a suitable primer or an additional thin coat to achieve an even finish.

Mould reappearing on painted surface despite product being mould resistant.

While the paint is mould resistant, extreme environmental conditions or pre-existing mould spores deeply embedded in the substrate before painting can still lead to mould growth. Thoroughly clean the surface with a fungicidal wash and allow it to dry completely before any repainting to address underlying issues.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Guaranteed 10-year weather protection for exterior wood and metal
  • Mould-resistant to minimize staining and maintain appearance
  • Flexible paint film resists cracking for longer-lasting finish
  • Quick-drying formula allows recoating in just 6 hours
  • Water-based with minimal VOCs, making it a safer choice
  • Attractive satinwood (mid-sheen) finish

Cons

  • Requires two coats for optimal finish and protection
  • 10-year protection is contingent on surfaces being in good condition prior to application
  • Thorough surface preparation is essential for optimal adhesion and durability

Setup: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose material, flaking paint, dirt, and grease. If surfaces are not in good condition (e.g., unsound wood, rusty metal), prepare them accordingly (e.g., sanding, filling, priming) to ensure optimal adhesion and the promised 10-year protection. Stir the paint thoroughly before use.

Compatibility: This paint is specifically formulated for exterior wood and metal surfaces. Do not use on interior surfaces. Always check product labels for specific surface compatibility.

Application: Apply with a brush. For the best finish and protection, two coats are recommended. Apply thin, even coats.

Care: Clean brushes immediately after use with water. Once applied and fully cured, the painted surface is designed for minimal maintenance thanks to its mould and crack resistance. Clean painted surfaces gently with mild soap and water if needed, avoiding abrasive cleaners.
