FAQs
What kind of surfaces can Johnstone's Garage Floor Paint be used on?
It is suitable for use on all concrete floors, as well as properly prepared tiles, brickwork, wood, cement, and stone surfaces.
How long does the paint take to dry?
Drying times can vary based on temperature and humidity. Generally, it requires a few hours for recoating and several days for full cure. Always check the product's specific instructions for drying times.
Is this paint suitable for a driveway?
This product is specifically designed for garage floors. For driveways, which experience heavier traffic and more extreme weather, a more robust, specialized product may be necessary.
How do I clean up spills on the painted floor?
Wipe up spills immediately with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild detergent and water. Avoid harsh or abrasive cleaning agents.
Do I need a primer?
Proper preparation is key. While the paint can be applied directly to concrete, priming may be recommended for highly porous surfaces or previously painted/sealed surfaces to ensure optimal adhesion and a uniform finish. Consult the product's technical data sheet for specific advice.
What is the finish of this paint?
Johnstone's Garage Floor Paint provides a semi-gloss finish.
Can I use this paint on walls?
This product is formulated for floors and is not recommended for use on walls, as wall paints have different requirements for adhesion, durability, and finish.
Troubleshooting
Paint is not adhering well
Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned, dry, and properly prepared before application. Remove any contaminants like oil, grease, or dust. Re-prep and reapply.
Uneven finish or brush marks visible
Ensure paint was thoroughly stirred. Apply in thin, even coats using a high-quality roller or brush. Avoid overworking the paint. Allow sufficient drying time between coats.
Paint seems too thick or difficult to apply
Check the ambient temperature; painting in very cold or hot conditions can affect application. Stirring thoroughly may help. Refer to product specifications for any thinning recommendations if applicable and permitted.
Surface is still porous after painting
This may indicate insufficient coats or that the surface was highly porous. Ensure at least two full coats were applied and consider a third coat if necessary.
