This Thorndown Paint in Launcherley Blue is for DIY enthusiasts and homeowners looking to protect and beautify timber, metal, or PVC surfaces with a durable, satin-finish paint. Its key benefit is a quick-drying, no-primer-needed application that offers a water-repellent and UV-resistant coating for both interior and exterior use. A potential caveat is that for fully waterproof finishes after dilution, an additional coat of UV Clear may be required.

No, Thorndown Paint is designed as an all-in-one solution and does not require a primer or undercoat.
Yes, Thorndown Paint is suitable for use on metal surfaces, providing a protective and decorative finish.
A 750ml tin covers approximately 9 square meters.
Yes, it is suitable for both interior and exterior use, offering UV resistance and water repellency.
You can achieve a wood stain effect by diluting the paint with water. For a water-repellent finish after dilution, apply a coat of Thorndown UV Clear.
This paint has a minimal VOC content of 0.28%.
Under good weather conditions, the paint dries in one to two hours.
It is recommended to only mix Thorndown Paint with Thorndown Clear or water as specified. Mixing with other brands or solvents may compromise the finish and performance.
Stir the paint thoroughly. If needed, thin slightly with water for easier application, but remember to apply Thorndown UV Clear afterward for water repellency if the paint was diluted.
Ensure the paint was stirred well. Apply paint with consistent brush strokes. Avoid overworking the paint, and ensure even coverage. A second coat may resolve minor streaking.
Ensure application is in conditions above 10°C (50°F) and with adequate ventilation. Avoid applying in humid or damp conditions. Check that no inappropriate thinning agents were used.
Color can appear slightly different when wet versus dry. This is normal. The final color should match the expected hue once fully cured. If significant deviation occurs, ensure the correct product was used and check batch consistency if multiple tins were used.
Preparation: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and loose material. For previously painted surfaces, ensure they are sound and stable. Light sanding may be beneficial on very glossy surfaces to improve adhesion.
Compatibility: This paint is designed for timber, metal, and plastic surfaces, including PVC. It can be applied directly without primer or undercoat. For a more transparent finish, mix with Thorndown Clear. For a wood stain effect, dilute with water; if water repellency is then needed, apply Thorndown UV Clear.
Application: Apply with a brush, roller, or sprayer. Stir the paint thoroughly before and during use. Apply evenly and avoid overworking the paint. Two thin coats are generally recommended for best results.
Drying Time: Dries in 1-2 hours in good weather. Allow adequate drying time between coats.
Care: Clean tools and spills immediately with water. For ongoing maintenance, surfaces coated with Thorndown Paint can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
