FAQs
What type of brush should I use for this paint?
For oil-based paints like this, a good quality natural bristle brush is recommended for best results and smooth application.
How long does it take for the paint to dry?
Drying times can vary based on conditions, but typically it is touch-dry in 4-6 hours and ready for a second coat after 16-24 hours. Always check the product tin for specific drying recommendations.
Can I use this paint on shed wood?
Yes, this paint is suitable for both sheds and fences, offering protection and an attractive finish to wooden structures.
How do I clean up spills or brushes?
Clean brushes and equipment immediately after use with a suitable solvent, such as white spirit. Dried paint will require more intensive cleaning methods.
What is the coverage rate of the 2.5L tin?
Coverage rates can vary depending on the surface porosity and application method, but a general guideline is approximately 8-10 square meters per liter per coat.
Is this paint suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, this is specifically designed as an outdoor shed and fence paint, offering protection against weathering.
Troubleshooting
Paint not adhering well
Ensure the surface was properly prepared, clean, and dry before application. If applied over a glossy or unsuitable finish, adhesion may be compromised. Consider sanding the surface or using a primer.
Uneven finish or brush marks visible
Stir paint thoroughly. Apply paint evenly with smooth, long strokes. Avoid overworking the paint. Ensure you are using the correct application tools and adequate lighting.
Paint taking too long to dry
Ensure application occurred within the recommended temperature range (10-25°C) and humidity levels. Avoid applying too thickly. Oil-based paints naturally have longer drying times than water-based alternatives.
Color looks different after drying
Color may appear slightly different when wet versus dry. Allow the paint to dry completely for the final color to be observed. Ensure the paint was mixed thoroughly to distribute pigment evenly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Preparation is Key: Ensure the fence surface is clean, dry, and free from dirt, dust, grease, and any loose or flaking paint. For best results on bare wood, a suitable primer may be beneficial. Ensure any moss or algae is treated and removed before painting.
Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before and during use. Apply evenly with a good quality brush. For best results, apply in dry conditions, ideally between 10-25°C, and when rain is not expected for at least 24 hours. Avoid painting in direct, strong sunlight, which can cause the paint to dry too quickly. Two coats are usually recommended for optimal protection and finish.
Compatibility: This oil-based paint is suitable for a wide range of wooden fence types. It is generally compatible with previously painted or treated surfaces, provided they are in good condition and properly prepared. Test on an inconspicuous area if unsure.
Care & Cleanup: Clean brushes and equipment immediately after use with a suitable solvent (like white spirit). Dried paint can be more difficult to remove. Store paint in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and frost. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed.
