FAQs
Is this paint suitable for decking?
This paint is specifically formulated for sheds and fences. For decking, a product designed for horizontal timber surfaces and high foot traffic would be more appropriate.
How many coats of paint should I apply?
For optimal protection and coverage, two coats are generally recommended. Ensure the first coat is dry before applying the second.
Can I apply this paint over existing treatments?
If the existing treatment is a paint or varnish, ensure it is sound, clean, and lightly abraded for adhesion. If it's an oil or a different type of finish, it might be necessary to remove it or use a specific primer.
What is the best way to clean my brushes after use?
Clean brushes immediately after use with a suitable white spirit or turpentine substitute. Rinse thoroughly with clean solvent until no paint remains.
How long does the paint take to dry?
Drying times can vary depending on temperature and humidity. Typically, recoating may be possible after 16-24 hours, but refer to the specific instructions on the product tin for precise drying times.
Can I use this paint indoors?
This paint is designed for exterior use only due to its formulation and VOC content. It is not recommended for interior application.
Does this paint come in other colours or sizes?
Yes, the Palatine Professional Shed & Fence range is available in various colours (such as Brown and Grey) and sizes (including 2.5Lt and 5Lt tins), as indicated by the product's sibling information.
Troubleshooting
Paint is not adhering well
Ensure the surface was properly prepared (clean, dry, free from contaminants) and sanded if necessary. Check if a suitable primer was used on bare wood.
Uneven finish or brush marks visible
Stir the paint thoroughly before and during application. Use a high-quality brush and apply in smooth, even strokes. Avoid overworking the paint.
Paint is too thick to apply easily
Stir the paint well. If necessary, a small amount of white spirit can be added as a thinning agent, but follow manufacturer guidelines to avoid compromising the finish.
Long drying time
Oil-based paints naturally have longer drying times than water-based alternatives. Ensure application occurs in dry conditions with good ventilation and appropriate temperatures, as per product instructions.
