FAQs

Can this paint be used on radiators?

Yes, it is suitable for metal surfaces, including radiators, provided they are properly primed and prepared.

How long does it take to dry?

It is quick drying. Touch dry in approximately 1-2 hours and recoatable after 4 hours, depending on conditions.

What is the best way to clean application tools?

Clean all brushes, rollers, and equipment with water immediately after use. If paint has dried, solvents may be required.

Is this paint suitable for high-moisture areas like bathrooms?

While it is durable, for very high moisture areas or direct water contact, a specialist bathroom paint might be more appropriate. However, it can be used in bathrooms with good ventilation.

Can I paint over existing oil-based gloss paint?

Yes, provided the surface is cleaned, lightly abraded (sanded) to provide a key, and free from contaminants. A primer might also be beneficial.

Does the 'Brilliant White' color stay bright over time?

The paint is formulated to be non-yellowing, meaning it should retain its brilliant white appearance over time and resist discoloration.

What is the coverage rate?

Coverage is approximately 10-12 square meters per litre, but this can vary depending on the surface porosity and application method.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering well

Ensure the surface was properly cleaned, dried, and prepared. Re-prime or sand the surface if necessary. Check for incompatible existing finishes.

Brush marks or roller stipple are visible

Use a higher quality brush or roller. Apply thinner coats and maintain a wet edge. Avoid overworking the paint. Ensure paint is stirred adequately.

Paint is drying too quickly, causing lap marks

Work in smaller sections. Maintain a wet edge between applications. Consider using an additive designed to extend drying time if working in very warm conditions.

Uneven color or coverage

Stir the paint thoroughly. Apply a second coat if the first was too thin. Ensure uniform application technique across the entire surface.

Satin finish appears patchy

Ensure consistent application. Avoid touching up areas after the paint has started to dry. Re-coat the affected area ensuring an even finish.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile for both interior and exterior applications.
  • Suitable for multiple substrates including wood and metal.
  • Offers good coverage, reducing paint consumption.
  • Dries quickly, facilitating efficient project timelines.
  • Low odour enhances user comfort during application.
  • Resistant to yellowing, maintaining a bright white finish.

Cons

  • Satin finish may highlight surface imperfections more than a matte paint.
  • Requires proper surface preparation for optimal adhesion.
  • May not be suitable for high-traffic areas requiring maximum washability (compared to specialist finishes).
  • Specific compatibility with all primer types should be verified.
  • Can be more expensive than standard emulsion paints.
  • Requires appropriate application tools for a smooth finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation:

Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and flaking paint. For bare wood, use a suitable primer. For metal, apply a rust-inhibiting primer if necessary. Lightly sand glossy surfaces to improve adhesion.

Application:

Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply using a good quality brush or roller designed for water-based paints. For best results, apply in a well-ventilated area. Two coats are recommended for optimal coverage and finish. Avoid applying in temperatures below 10°C or when humidity is high.

Compatibility:

Suitable for use over existing oil-based gloss paints (after appropriate preparation) and water-based primers. Not recommended for direct application on chalky or powdery surfaces without proper priming. Always test on an inconspicuous area if unsure.

Care & Cleaning:

Clean brushes, rollers, and spills with water immediately after use. For cleaning the painted surface, use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, as they may damage the satin finish.
