Troubleshooting

Uneven finish or brush marks visible

Ensure the surface is properly prepared, clean, and smooth. Apply paint with even strokes and avoid overworking the paint. Do not apply too thickly, and allow adequate drying time between coats.

Paint not drying properly or remaining tacky

Check ambient temperature and humidity; paint needs good ventilation and consistent temperatures (above 10°C is ideal). Ensure coats are applied thinly and allow the full 16 hours of drying time before recoating. Avoid painting in very humid conditions.

Poor coverage after one coat

This paint is designed for two coats to achieve optimal opacity and protection. Ensure the surface was adequately primed (especially if bare) and that the paint was thoroughly stirred before use. Apply the second coat after the recommended 16-hour drying period.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

1. Surface Preparation (Setup):

For optimal adhesion and finish, proper surface preparation is crucial:

  • Clean: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dirt, grease, loose paint, and other contaminants.
  • Sand: Lightly sand previously painted gloss surfaces to provide a key for the new paint. For bare wood or metal, ensure it is smooth and dust-free.
  • Prime: For bare wood or metal, a suitable primer (e.g., Dulux Trade Wood Primer or Metal Primer) is recommended to enhance adhesion and durability.
  • Stir: Thoroughly stir the paint before and during use to ensure consistent color and finish.

2. Application:

  • Method: Apply using a good quality brush. Ensure even strokes for a smooth finish.
  • Coats: Two coats are recommended for the best appearance and protection.
  • Recoat Time: Allow a minimum of 16 hours drying time between coats. Do not rush this step, as it can affect the final finish and durability.

3. Compatibility:

  • This paint is specifically designed for exterior metal and wood surfaces. Do not use it for interior applications or on surfaces other than metal or wood.

4. Care & Maintenance:

  • Cleaning: Once dry, the painted surface can be cleaned with a mild detergent and water if needed.
  • Brush Cleaning: Clean brushes immediately after use with a suitable solvent cleaner or white spirit. Do not allow paint to dry on brushes.
  • Storage: Store the can in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and frost. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed to prevent the paint from drying out.
  • Safety: Ensure good ventilation during application. Keep out of reach of children. Refer to the product's safety data sheet for detailed health and safety information.
