It is designed for exterior wood and metal surfaces, including front doors, fences, pergolas, planters, and metal railings.
The paint is formulated to resist flaking, peeling, and fading for up to six years under normal conditions.
While it offers excellent durability, it is specifically formulated for exterior use. For interior wood and metal, Farrow & Ball offers Modern Emulsion or Modern Eggshell finishes.
The surface must be clean, dry, and free from grease and contaminants. Bare surfaces should be primed, and previously painted surfaces should be lightly sanded.
It is best to apply the paint in dry conditions, typically between 10°C and 25°C, and avoid high humidity or frost.
Clean application tools with water immediately after use. For the painted surface, gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild detergent if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
The paint is quick-drying. Typically, it can be recoated after 4-6 hours, but this can vary depending on temperature and humidity.
Ensure the surface was properly prepared, clean, dry, and primed if necessary. Reapply adhering to preparation guidelines.
Stir paint thoroughly before and during use. Apply in consistent, even coats. Ensure adequate drying time between coats and consider an additional coat if needed.
This can be caused by painting on a damp surface or in direct sunlight. Ensure the surface is dry and apply in moderate conditions. If blistering has occurred, remove loose paint, sand smooth, and reapply.
Paint colours can shift slightly as they dry. It is always recommended to test a small area first to confirm the desired outcome.
Preparation: For optimal performance, surfaces must be clean, dry, and free from dirt, grease, and any loose material. Previously painted surfaces should be lightly sanded. Bare wood or metal should be primed with an appropriate Farrow & Ball primer (e.g., Metal Primer, Wood Primer & Undercoat).
Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before and during use. Apply evenly using a good quality brush. Two coats are generally recommended for best results. Avoid applying in very humid conditions or direct strong sunlight. Ensure adequate drying time between coats.
Compatibility: Suitable for exterior wood and metal surfaces. Not recommended for use on floors or high-traffic areas.
Care: Clean application tools with water immediately after use. For maintaining the painted surface, gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild detergent if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
