FAQs
Can I use this paint on exterior masonry?
Yes, this paint is designed for both interior and exterior surfaces, provided the masonry is properly cleaned and primed.
Does this red paint require a primer?
While it has excellent coverage, we strongly recommend a high-quality primer, ideally tinted, to achieve the most vibrant and uniform finish.
How many coats should I apply?
For deep colors like red, two to three coats are typically required to reach full color depth and opacity.
How do I clean my brushes after use?
Clean your tools immediately using warm, soapy water or the appropriate solvent specified on the paint label.
Is this paint matte or gloss?
Craig & Rose offers a premium finish; please check the specific label on your container for the exact sheen level, as it can vary by product batch.
Troubleshooting
Streaking or patchy finish
Apply an additional coat and ensure the roller is not being 'stretched' too thin; maintain a wet edge while painting.
Paint not sticking well
Ensure the surface was properly cleaned and primed; if the surface is too smooth, lightly sand it to create a better profile.
Color variation between cans
Box your paint by pouring all cans into a large bucket and mixing them together before starting your project.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure success, begin by sanding any glossy surfaces and cleaning the area with sugar soap. Always apply a suitable primer, preferably one tinted in a mid-grey or red base, to improve the opacity of the topcoat. Stir the paint thoroughly before use to ensure the pigment is evenly distributed. Store the paint in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly sealed to prevent the product from skinning over. Clean brushes and rollers immediately after use with water or the manufacturer-recommended solvent to extend the life of your painting tools.
