FAQs
Is this paint suitable for radiators?
Yes, Bedec Aqua Advanced Gloss Paint is suitable for radiators due to its quick-drying and non-yellowing properties, which are ideal for heat-generating surfaces.
How many coats do I need?
Typically, one or two coats are sufficient, depending on the surface color and porosity. Always allow the first coat to dry completely before applying the second.
Can I use this paint on metal garden furniture?
Yes, provided the metal is clean, dry, and rust-free. For best results and adhesion, especially on bare or rusty metal, a suitable metal primer is recommended before applying the paint.
What is the coverage rate?
The coverage is approximately 13-15 square meters per litre per coat, depending on the surface texture and porosity.
How long does it take to dry?
It is quick drying. Drying times can vary, but it's typically touch dry within 1-2 hours and recoatable within 4 hours under normal conditions. Always check the product can for specific details.
Can I thin this paint?
This paint is designed for use direct from the can. Thinning is generally not recommended as it can affect the finish and performance. If absolutely necessary for application on certain surfaces, use only a minimal amount of water.
How do I clean my brushes after use?
Clean brushes and equipment immediately after use with warm water and a little detergent. Rinse thoroughly.
Troubleshooting
Paint is not adhering well or peeling.
Ensure the surface was properly prepared, clean, and dry before application. Old or incompatible finishes may require specific primers. Ensure the surface was lightly sanded if it was previously glossy.
Uneven or streaky finish.
Stir paint thoroughly. Use a high-quality brush or roller suitable for water-based gloss paints. Apply paint evenly and avoid overworking it. Ensure consistent application technique.
Paint is drying too quickly, causing brush marks.
Work in smaller sections. Use a moisture spray on the surface (if appropriate for the material) or a paint conditioner additive for water-based paints. Ensure ambient temperature and humidity are within recommended levels.
Yellowing of the finish over time.
This paint is designed to be non-yellowing. If yellowing occurs, it may be due to environmental factors or contamination. Ensure good ventilation and avoid exposure to certain chemicals.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from grease, wax, or loose material. Sand lightly if necessary, especially on glossy or previously painted surfaces, and wipe away dust. For bare wood or metal, or problematic surfaces, a suitable primer is recommended.
Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply evenly with a good quality brush or roller designed for water-based paints. Apply one or two coats as required, allowing adequate drying time between coats.
Compatibility: Suitable for wood, metal, plaster, masonry, and previously painted surfaces. Always test on an inconspicuous area first if unsure about surface compatibility.
Care: Clean brushes, rollers, and equipment immediately after use with warm water and detergent. Dried paint can be difficult to remove. Store paint in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and frost. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed to maintain freshness.
