FAQs

How much area does the tester pot cover?

The 150ml tester pot is designed for small areas. Coverage will vary depending on the surface texture and how thickly the paint is applied. It's ideal for testing the colour, rather than painting a whole wall.

Can I use this paint on interior walls?

This paint is specifically designed for exterior masonry surfaces, such as brick, concrete, and render. It may not be suitable for interior walls.

How long does it take for the paint to dry?

Drying times can vary depending on the environmental conditions. Always refer to the product label for the recommended drying time. Typically, it should be touch-dry in a few hours.

How should I prepare the surface before painting?

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from any loose or flaking material, dirt, or mildew before painting. A light sanding might be necessary for particularly uneven surfaces.

Can I apply this paint over existing paint?

Yes, but ensure the existing paint is sound and well-adhered. Clean and lightly sand the existing surface before applying the Sandtex paint.

What tools do I need to apply the paint?

You will need a brush or roller, a paint tray, and appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) like gloves.

How do I dispose of the leftover paint?

Dispose of any remaining paint responsibly, following local regulations for paint disposal. Allow the paint to dry completely and dispose of it as household waste.

Troubleshooting

Paint appears patchy after drying.

Ensure even application, and consider applying a second coat, allowing the first coat to dry completely before doing so.

Colour looks different after drying.

The final colour may vary depending on the surface and lighting conditions. Test on a small area first to see how it looks.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Allows for testing the colour before committing to a larger purchase.
  • Provides a dirt-resistant and waterproof finish.
  • Offers an ultra smooth look and feel.
  • Breathable formula helps prevent moisture build-up.

Cons

  • Limited quantity in the tester pot, only enough for small areas.
  • May require multiple coats for full coverage, depending on the surface.
  • Testing on a small area may not fully represent the finish on a larger surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before you start, ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from any loose material. Stir the paint well before application. Apply the paint evenly using a brush or roller. Allow the paint to dry completely. This paint is designed for use on masonry surfaces, such as brick, concrete, and render. Once dry, the painted surface can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
