This paint is engineered for the rigors of exterior environments. Its 10-year weather protection makes it ideal for elements constantly exposed to sun, rain, and temperature fluctuations. The quick-drying nature allows you to complete projects faster, minimizing exposure to dust or unexpected weather changes between coats. The flexible paint film is a key benefit, adapting to the natural movement of wood and metal, preventing premature cracking or flaking. Its water-based composition makes it easier to work with and clean up.
Use it on outdoor features such as wooden window frames, exterior doors, garden gates, metal railings, and even properly prepared outdoor furniture to achieve a durable, attractive Almond White mid-sheen finish. This product ensures your exterior surfaces not only look great but are also well-protected against the elements for years.
Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose material, dirt, grease, or flaking paint.
Sand glossy or previously painted surfaces to provide a key for adhesion.
Fill any cracks or imperfections with a suitable exterior filler, then sand smooth.
For bare wood or metal, apply an appropriate primer/undercoat. For example, use a suitable wood primer for bare wood or a metal primer for bare metal to enhance adhesion and durability.
Stir the paint thoroughly before and during use to ensure consistent color and finish.
Apply with a good quality synthetic brush or roller.
Apply evenly in thin coats. Avoid overloading your brush or roller.
