FAQs

Can this paint be used on radiators?

Yes, it can be used on metal surfaces like radiators, provided they are properly primed and prepared. Ensure adequate ventilation during application and drying.

What is the coverage rate?

Johnstone's Trade Professional Gloss offers approximately 17 m² per litre coverage.

How long does it take to dry?

Drying times vary depending on conditions. Typically, it is touch-dry in 4-6 hours and recoatable after 16-24 hours. Always ensure adequate ventilation.

How do I clean up spills or tools?

Clean brushes, rollers, and spills immediately after use with white spirit or a suitable solvent-based cleaner.

Will this paint yellow over time?

No, this paint features an anti-yellowing formula, ensuring the black finish remains true and does not degrade.

Can I use this on exterior metalwork?

Yes, it is suitable for exterior wood and metal surfaces, providing a durable, high-gloss finish.

Do I need to use an undercoat?

For best results, especially on bare wood or surfaces previously painted with a different finish, applying a Johnstone's Trade Undercoat is recommended for optimal adhesion and finish.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering well.

Ensure the surface was properly prepared, clean, and dry. A suitable undercoat may be necessary for optimal adhesion.

Uneven finish or brush marks visible.

Stir paint thoroughly. Apply in thin, even coats using a quality brush or roller. Avoid overworking the paint.

Paint is too thick to apply smoothly.

Ensure paint is thoroughly stirred. If necessary, a very small amount of white spirit can be added, but consult the product's technical data sheet for recommended thinners.

Surface remains tacky after application.

Ensure adequate ventilation and appropriate drying conditions (temperature and humidity). Avoid applying in very cold or damp environments. Check that the correct amount of solvent was used, if any.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a long-lasting, vibrant high gloss finish.
  • Resistant to yellowing, maintaining color integrity.
  • Good coverage reduces the number of coats required.
  • Suitable for a wide range of interior and exterior surfaces.
  • Easy to apply with standard painting tools.

Cons

  • Solvent-based formulation requires good ventilation.
  • May require a specific undercoat for optimal adhesion on certain surfaces.
  • Drying times can be longer compared to water-based paints.
  • Clean-up requires solvent-based thinners.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and flaking paint. For bare wood, apply a suitable Johnstone's Trade Undercoat. For previously painted surfaces, lightly sand to create a key and remove any gloss before applying an undercoat if necessary.

Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply using a good quality brush for cutting in or a short-pile roller for larger areas. Work in a well-ventilated area. Apply a second coat if a deeper finish is desired, allowing adequate drying time between coats.

Compatibility: Suitable for interior and exterior wood and metal surfaces. Not recommended for direct application on damp or unsuitable substrates.

Care: Clean brushes and rollers immediately after use with white spirit or appropriate solvent. Dried paint can be difficult to remove. Store tins in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
