Product Description Ronseal Garden Paint adds colour to just about anything in the garden. It can be applied to wood, brick, terracotta and metal and it will stay protected from the weather. It dries quickly so it's rainproof in just an hour. Directions Make sure it's a warm dry day. This paint isn’t suitable for decking. To prepare new wood, let it weather for six weeks to ensure all coatings have washed away. After six weeks, lightly sand the surface. Wipe the wood with a lint-free cloth that’s slightly damp with methylated spirit. To prepare old garden wood that’s already been painted or has been left outside for a while should be quickly sanded down. Wipe down the surface with white spirit to remove dirt or grease. Any mould or algae should be cleaned away and rotten wood should either be cut away or hardened. Sheds and fences can be prepared with a stiff wire brush. To prepare brick or stone, brush away any dust or debris and wipe clear before painting. To prepare terracotta sand down the surface until any glaze is properly removed. Apply water to the terracotta and if it beads, you will need to keep sanding to remove the glaze. Repeat step two until the water no longer beads. To prepare metal surfaces, they should be primed before applying the Garden Paint. Grey primer should be used for darker colours and a white primer used for lighter colours. Give the tin a good stir to make sure the colour pigments are mixed together. Test the colour on a small, hidden patch to make sure you’re happy with it. If you are, apply the first coat. When painting wood brush in the direction of the wood grain, wait four hours for the first coat to dry. For the best coverage and protection, you need to apply three coats. If you are painting a smooth surface, lightly sand the surface between the second and third coat.
