FAQs

How much area does the tester pot cover?

Coverage will vary depending on the surface and application method. The tester pot is designed for testing the color and finish, not for full coverage of a large area.

Can I use this paint on interior surfaces?

This paint is specifically designed for exterior use and may not be suitable for interior applications. Always check the product label for specific recommendations.

How many coats of paint are needed?

Two coats are generally recommended for optimal color depth and durability.

What should I do if it rains shortly after painting?

Allow sufficient drying time (at least 2-8 hours) before exposure to rain. If rain occurs before the paint is dry, the application may be affected.

How long will the paint last?

Cuprinol Garden Shades provides 6-year weather protection on wood surfaces.

Can I apply the paint directly over existing paint?

It is recommended to lightly sand the existing paint to ensure a better bond for the new coat.

How do I dispose of leftover paint?

Dispose of leftover paint responsibly according to local regulations. Check with your local waste management facility for guidelines.

Troubleshooting

Paint color appears different after drying.

Ensure the surface was properly prepared. Apply a second coat to achieve the desired color depth. Consider the lighting conditions when assessing the final color.

Paint does not adhere properly.

Make sure the surface is clean, dry, and free of any previous coatings or loose paint before application.
