Troubleshooting

Paint not sticking to the surface

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of flaking material. If the surface was previously painted, lightly sand it to improve adhesion.

Overspray getting on unwanted areas

Clean any wet overspray immediately using water and a mild household detergent. Always cover nearby plants or paths when using a spray tool.

Color variation after application

The final color depends on the underlying wood tone and the number of coats applied. Always test a small area first to ensure you are happy with the finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation is key to a long-lasting finish. Ensure your wood has been pre-treated with a wood preserver to prevent decay before applying Garden Shades. All surfaces must be clean and free of moisture. Apply only when the weather is dry and temperatures remain above 5 degrees Celsius. If you are painting over previously coated surfaces, perform a test patch to check for adhesion; if the surface is too glossy, a light sanding is recommended. Store the product in a cool, dry place protected from frost and extreme temperatures.
