Ronseal Garden Paint in Slate is an excellent choice for revitalizing and protecting various elements throughout your outdoor space. Its multi-surface compatibility means you can use it to update an old wooden fence, add a consistent color to terracotta pots, refresh a brick planter, or even paint a stone bird bath. For example, applying it to weathered garden furniture not only adds a stylish 'Slate' finish but also forms a protective, waterproof barrier, helping to extend its lifespan against rain and damp conditions. The high film build ensures good coverage and durable protection, reducing the need for frequent reapplication. Its ability to be rainproof in an hour is particularly beneficial for unpredictable weather, allowing you to complete projects faster without worrying about a sudden downpour ruining your work. This paint consistently performs by adhering well and resisting common issues like cracking and peeling, ensuring your garden features look great for longer.
For best results, surfaces should be clean, dry, and free from loose paint, dirt, or debris. Use a stiff brush or sandpaper to remove any flaking material. For wood, ensure it's sound and clean. For metal, clean thoroughly and always apply a suitable metal primer before painting to ensure proper adhesion and durability. Terracotta, brick, and stone should also be clean and dry.
Stir Well: Before and during use, stir the paint thoroughly to ensure an even color and consistency.
Apply Thin Coats: Use a brush or roller to apply thin, even coats. Avoid applying too thickly to prevent drips and ensure proper drying.
Multiple Coats: Apply at least two coats for optimal color depth and protection. Allow sufficient drying time between coats.
This paint is compatible with:
Wood: Fences, sheds, garden furniture.
Terracotta: Pots, ornaments.
Brick: Walls, planters.
Stone: Statues, pathways (ensure it's not a high-traffic area).
Metal: Gates, railings (requires a suitable metal primer first).
Cleaning: Clean brushes and rollers immediately after use with warm, soapy water.
Maintenance: Regularly inspect painted surfaces for any signs of wear. Reapply as needed to maintain protection and appearance.
Storage: Store the paint in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and frost. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed.
