Product Information

Full details

151 Non-Drip White Gloss Paint is ideal for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking for a reliable, easy-to-apply solution for interior and exterior surfaces like wood, metal, and concrete. The primary benefit is its user-friendly, non-drip formula that ensures a clean, professional-looking high-gloss finish without the mess typically associated with thinner paints; however, users should be prepared for a longer drying period, as it requires 8-10 hours to dry and 24 hours between coats.

FAQs

Can I use this paint on concrete floors?

Yes, it is formulated for wood, metal, and concrete, making it suitable for concrete surfaces.

Is this paint water-based or oil-based?

This is an oil-based paint, which typically offers superior durability and a harder finish compared to water-based alternatives.

Do I need a primer before applying?

While the paint adheres well to most prepared surfaces, using a suitable primer on raw wood or bare metal will yield the best, most even results.

How do I clean the brush included in the set?

Since this is an oil-based paint, you must use a solvent like white spirit or a professional brush cleaner to remove the paint from the bristles.

How long should I wait before painting a second coat?

It is recommended to wait at least 24 hours between coats to ensure the first layer has properly cured.

Is this paint suitable for high-heat areas like radiators?

This paint is designed for general household surfaces. It is not rated as heat-resistant, so it should not be used on active radiators or heaters.

Troubleshooting

Paint is taking longer than 10 hours to dry

High humidity or cold temperatures can significantly increase drying times. Ensure the room is well-ventilated and kept at a moderate temperature.

Brush strokes are visible in the finish

Try using a higher-quality synthetic brush or thinning the paint slightly according to solvent manufacturer guidelines. Apply in long, consistent strokes rather than overworking the wet paint.

Paint is peeling after drying

This often occurs due to poor surface preparation. Ensure all dust, oil, and loose debris are removed from the surface before the next application.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before applying the 151 Non-Drip White Gloss, ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from grease or loose flakes of old paint. For metal surfaces, ensure any rust has been treated or sanded away first.

Prepare the surface by sanding lightly to ensure adhesion.
Open the tin carefully and stir the paint thoroughly to ensure the pigments are properly mixed.
Use the included 1-inch brush to apply the paint.
Store the tin in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly sealed to prevent the oil-based contents from skinning over.
Clean your brush after use with an appropriate brush cleaner or solvent (such as white spirit), as water will not effectively remove oil-based paint.
