What types of surfaces can this paint be applied to?

Is this paint safe to use around my home?
Yes, it is a water-based paint with minimal VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) and low odour, making it a safer choice for use around your home.
How do I clean my painting tools after use?
As it's a water-based paint, you can clean your brushes and other tools with water immediately after use.
Does this paint protect against mould?
Yes, the weatherproof paint film is mould resistant, helping to minimise staining and keep your paintwork looking cleaner for longer.
What does the '10-year weather protection' guarantee mean?
It means the paintwork is guaranteed to last for 10 years against various weather elements, provided the surfaces were in good condition and prepared correctly before application.
Troubleshooting
Paint not adhering or peeling
Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned, dried, and properly prepared (sanding if needed) before application. Loose or flaking old paint must be removed.
Uneven finish or brush marks
Apply thin, even coats, ensuring adequate drying time (6 hours) between applications. Use a good quality brush or roller appropriate for satinwood paint.
Mould appearing on painted surface
While the paint is mould-resistant, existing mould must be completely removed and the surface treated before painting. The paint prevents new mould growth but doesn't eliminate existing spores.
Paint feels tacky or not drying after 6 hours
Check ambient conditions; very high humidity or low temperatures can extend drying times. Ensure coats are not applied too thickly, as this will also prolong drying.
Not achieving 10-year weather protection
Confirm that two coats were applied, and the original surface was in good, sound condition before painting. Damage or poor preparation can compromise long-term performance.
