FAQs
How long does Ronseal Garden Paint in Moroccan Red take to dry?

Do I need a primer before using this paint?
No, Ronseal Garden Paint is formulated to be self-priming on most suitable surfaces. Just ensure the surface is clean, dry, and properly prepared as outlined in the 'Setup' section.
Can I use this paint indoors?
No, this paint is specifically designed and formulated for exterior use only. It is not recommended for indoor applications.
What types of surfaces can I paint with Moroccan Red?
Ronseal Garden Paint in Moroccan Red is suitable for exterior wood (e.g., fences, garden furniture, planters), sheds, and metal surfaces (e.g., gates, railings), provided they are properly prepared.
How much area does one can of Ronseal Garden Paint typically cover?
Info needed: Exact coverage rate per litre. Typically, garden paints cover approximately 10-12 square meters per litre per coat, but always refer to the product label for precise coverage information for this specific size.
Is this paint weather-resistant?
Yes, Ronseal Garden Paint provides a durable and protective finish that is designed to be resistant to various outdoor elements, including rain, sunlight, and general weathering, helping to protect your garden surfaces.
Can I paint over existing paint with Moroccan Red?
Yes, you can paint over most existing outdoor paints. However, ensure the surface is clean, dry, and any loose or flaking paint is thoroughly removed. Lightly sanding the old painted surface will help improve adhesion for the new coat.
How many coats of paint are recommended for best results?
For optimal color depth, vibrancy, and protective qualities, two coats are generally recommended. On very porous surfaces or when making a significant color change from dark to light, a third coat might be beneficial to achieve an even and rich finish.
Troubleshooting
Paint is peeling or flaking after application
This usually indicates insufficient surface preparation. Ensure the surface is completely clean, dry, and free of all loose material (e.g., old paint, dirt, grease) before painting. Lightly sand smooth or glossy surfaces to create a better bond for the paint.
Uneven color or streaky finish
Thoroughly stir the paint before and during application to ensure pigments are evenly distributed. Apply paint in even, consistent strokes, avoiding overspreading. Allow sufficient drying time between coats. On very porous surfaces or when significantly changing color, a third coat may be necessary for a uniform finish.
Paint isn't drying properly or remains tacky
Paint drying can be significantly slowed by high humidity, low temperatures (below 10°C), or poor ventilation. Ensure you are painting in dry, mild conditions. Also, avoid applying excessively thick coats, as this can trap moisture and prolong drying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Preparation is Key: For the best and most durable finish, ensure the surface is thoroughly clean, dry, and free from any loose dirt, flaking paint, moss, or mildew. If painting over previously coated or varnished surfaces, lightly sand them to create a 'key' for better paint adhesion. For bare wood, ensure it is completely dry and clean. For metal surfaces, remove any loose rust and clean thoroughly.
- Stir Well: Before you begin painting and periodically during use, stir the paint thoroughly. This ensures that the color pigments are evenly dispersed and the consistency is uniform throughout the can.
- Apply Evenly: Use a good quality paintbrush or roller to apply the paint. For optimal color depth and protection, apply two even coats. Always allow adequate drying time between coats as specified on the product label.

- Wood: Ideal for fences, wooden sheds, garden furniture (benches, tables), and planters.
- Sheds: Perfectly formulated for all types of wooden sheds.
- Metal: Suitable for garden gates, railings, and metal furniture, provided any loose rust has been removed and the surface is clean.
Care
- Cleaning Tools: Clean brushes and rollers immediately after use with warm, soapy water to prevent the paint from drying on them.
- Storage: Store the paint in its original container, ensuring it is tightly sealed. Keep it in a dry place, protected from both frost and extreme temperatures to maintain its quality.
- Maintenance: To prolong the vibrancy and protective qualities of the paint, periodically inspect painted surfaces for any signs of wear, fading, or damage. Reapply a fresh coat as needed, typically every few years, depending on the level of exposure to weather.
