Make sure you use a mixer on a slow running drill, pallet knife or a broom stick that reaches the bottom of the can and mixing should take place for 3-5 mins to ensure all the content is properly mixed together to avoid colour and or drying problems.

Thinners required are White Spirit T0001. If thinning is required when applying by a brush or roller start by gradually adding 5% but do not thin more an 10% as the paint won’t cover
As our coatings are heavily pigmented separation can easily occur and you can have colour float, for example a green paint can seem blue before mixing, this is one of the reasons mixing your paint before use is essential.
If you are painting bare wood you will find that it will be porous we recommend that on your first coat thin 20% to ensure this impregnates the substrate. Then after 13.20-24 hours apply the second coat un thinned.
Application - Painting over existing paint
Step 1 - Check suitability of the product to the existing paint. We recommend you try a sample area first.
Step 2 Clean and Abrade -
- Make sure the existing paint is in good condition prior to painting, then lightly abrade to provide a key for good intercoat adhesion.
- If there is flaking paint this must be removed prior to painting.
- Ensure substrate is clean of any dirt, oil, or grease
Step 3 Prime – This step is down to personal preference, depending on the condition of the existing paint or if you are changing a dark colour to a light you may want to add one coat of primer.
Step 4 Topcoat- Once you have completed the following steps you can apply your top coat.
Application - Painting a bare wood
Step 1 Clean - Ensure substrate is clean of any dirt, oil, or grease.
Step 2 Prime – You can use either our wood primer or you can thin the first coat (top coat) by 20% white spirit thinners which will act as the primer/sealer this is to ensure it impregnates the wood.
Step 3 Topcoat – 12-24 hours after applying the primer/thinned down coat you can add your first coat of topcoat. Wait another 12-24 hours and then apply the second coat.
