Ronseal Garden Paint in Charcoal Grey is engineered for practical application and lasting performance in outdoor environments. Its formulation provides a consistent, rich colour that integrates beautifully into any garden design, from modern minimalist to rustic charm.
For optimal performance, apply the paint in thin, even coats. The quick-drying nature of this paint means you can often apply a second coat relatively quickly, speeding up your project. This paint is particularly effective for:
Wooden Fences and Sheds: Transform weathered wood into a contemporary feature. The durable finish helps protect against the elements.
Metal Garden Furniture and Planters: Gives a fresh lease of life to metal items, providing both colour and a protective layer against rust and wear.
Plastic Garden Accents: Safely updates plastic pots, chairs, or decorative items, creating a unified look with other painted garden elements.
The tough, durable finish means your painted items will withstand daily wear and tear, as well as the impact of varying weather conditions, resisting chips and scratches that can detract from your garden's appearance. Observe the paint's consistency; if it feels too thick, stir thoroughly. Avoid painting in direct hot sun or very cold/damp conditions to ensure proper drying and adhesion.
Proper preparation and care will maximize the life and appearance of your painted surfaces.
Surface Preparation: Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dirt, grease, and loose or flaking material. For previously painted or very smooth surfaces, a light sanding may be beneficial to create a key for the paint to adhere to. Wipe down surfaces with a damp cloth and allow to dry completely.
Stirring: Thoroughly stir the paint before and periodically during use to ensure the colour and consistency are uniform.
Application: Apply with a brush, roller, or sprayer. For best results, apply two thin, even coats. Allow sufficient drying time between coats (refer to product label for specific times, typically a few hours due to its quick-drying nature).
Ronseal Garden Paint is specifically designed for wood, metal, and plastic surfaces in an outdoor setting. It's suitable for items such as:
Garden sheds and fences
Wooden benches and tables
Metal gates and railings
Plastic planters and garden ornaments
Cleaning Painted Surfaces: To maintain the finish, gently clean painted surfaces with a soft cloth and mild soapy water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbing pads that could damage the paint film.
Storage: Store any leftover paint in its original container, sealed tightly, in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and frost. Ensure the lid is properly sealed to prevent the paint from drying out.
Touch-ups: Small chips or scratches can be carefully touched up with leftover paint if stored correctly.
