FAQs

What surfaces can I use this paint on?

This paint is suitable for all exterior woodwork, including fences, sheds, doors, and window frames.

Does this paint require a separate primer?

No, this is a 2-in-1 product that acts as both a primer and a topcoat, simplifying the application process.

How long does the protection last?

The paint is designed to offer up to 10 years of weatherproof protection, provided the surface is correctly prepared and the paint is applied according to instructions.

Can I use this paint in cold weather?

It is best to apply the paint in dry conditions when the temperature is between 10°C and 25°C. Avoid application in frost or freezing temperatures.

What is the best way to clean my brushes after use?

Clean brushes and equipment immediately after use with water.

Is this paint suitable for decking?

Yes, it can be used on exterior decking to provide protection and a colour finish. Ensure the decking is clean and dry before application.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering well

Ensure the surface was properly prepared, cleaned, and dry before application. Lightly sand glossy surfaces. Avoid painting in damp or humid conditions.

Uneven finish or streaking

Stir the paint thoroughly before and during use. Apply paint evenly with consistent brush strokes. Ensure adequate lighting to see coverage. Consider a third coat if necessary.

Paint is too thick to apply

Stir the paint well. If necessary, a small amount of water (max 10%) can be added for easier application, but this may slightly affect the finish or durability. Ensure paint has not been stored in extreme temperatures.

Poor coverage after two coats

Ensure the surface was not overly porous or absorbent. For very absorbent wood, a dedicated primer might be beneficial, or a third coat may be required for full opacity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation: Ensure the exterior wood surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and any loose or flaking paint. Lightly sand glossy or previously painted surfaces to ensure good adhesion. For bare or porous wood, ensure it is sound and free from rot.

Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply one coat of the 2 in 1 paint as a primer, and then apply a second coat as a topcoat. For best results on bare wood or in high-wear areas, two full coats are recommended. Apply in dry conditions, avoiding direct sunlight or rain. The temperature should ideally be between 10°C and 25°C.

Compatibility: Suitable for all exterior woodwork. Not recommended for use on surfaces that will be in direct contact with food or drinking water.

Care: Clean brushes and equipment immediately after use with water. For ongoing maintenance, clean surfaces gently with a damp cloth and mild detergent if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
