Ronseal Garden Paint - Cherry Blossom - 250ml

While primarily designed for wood, metal, and masonry, this paint can sometimes adhere to certain types of rigid outdoor plastics. However, for best results and longevity on plastic, it is recommended to use a dedicated plastic primer first.

Typically, 2 to 3 coats are recommended to achieve optimal colour depth, coverage, and durability. Lighter colours or very absorbent surfaces may require an additional coat.

The paint is quick-drying, often touch-dry within 1-2 hours depending on temperature and humidity. You can usually apply a second coat within 4 hours. Always check if the previous coat is dry to the touch before applying another.

Yes, once fully dry, Ronseal Garden Paint is considered safe for children and pets. Always ensure the area is well-ventilated during application and drying, and keep pets and children away until the paint is completely dry.

Clean all painting tools immediately after use with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly until all paint residue is removed, then allow them to air dry.

Yes, you can paint over existing paint, provided the old paint is in good condition (not flaking or peeling), clean, dry, and sound. Lightly sand glossy existing paint to provide a key for the new paint to adhere to.

Ronseal Garden Paint is formulated with weather-resistant pigments designed for long-lasting colour. While all outdoor colours may experience some minor natural fading over many years due to extreme sun exposure, this paint is designed to resist significant fading.

Ensure the application area has good ventilation and that the ambient temperature is within the recommended range (10°C - 30°C). Avoid applying in high humidity or cold conditions. Make sure coats are applied thinly and evenly, allowing full drying time between applications.

Ensure the paint was thoroughly stirred before and periodically during application. Apply an additional, even coat, making sure not to overload the brush or roller. Inconsistent surface preparation can also lead to patchiness; ensure the surface is clean and smooth.

This usually indicates poor surface preparation. Ensure surfaces are thoroughly cleaned, dried, and free from loose material, grease, or dirt before painting. Lightly sanding glossy surfaces can also improve adhesion. Remove flaking paint, re-prepare the surface, and reapply.

Use a good quality brush and avoid overworking the paint. Apply the paint smoothly and consistently. Applying in very hot conditions can cause the paint to dry too quickly, leaving brush marks; try to paint during cooler parts of the day if possible.
