FAQs

Do I need to sand before painting?

Sanding is recommended for bare wood to improve adhesion. For most other surfaces, sanding is not required.

How many coats of paint are needed?

Two coats are recommended for optimal coverage and durability.

Can I use this paint on metal?

Yes, but the surface must be suitably primed first.

Is this paint safe for use on children's furniture?

Yes, Rust-Oleum Satin Furniture Paint is Toy Safe certified.

How do I clean my paintbrushes and rollers?

Clean with warm, soapy water immediately after use.

Can I use a sprayer to apply this paint?

Yes, but you should dilute the paint with 10-20% water for optimal results.

What is the coverage per can?

Coverage depends on the surface and application method. One 750ml tin should cover a reasonable area.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering properly.

Ensure the surface is clean and free from contaminants. Lightly sand glossy surfaces to improve adhesion.

Uneven finish or brush marks are visible.

Apply the paint in thin, even coats. Use a high-quality brush or roller. If spraying, ensure proper dilution and technique.

Paint takes a long time to dry.

Ensure adequate ventilation and avoid painting in humid conditions. Make sure the paint is not applied too thick.

Colour is not what was expected.

Always test the colour in an inconspicuous area before applying to the entire piece. Consider using a tester sachet to confirm the colour.
