Key Features

- Superior Weather Protection: Ronseal Garden Paint is engineered to waterproof and protect surfaces effectively. It is rainproof within just one hour of application, ensuring your freshly painted items withstand sudden showers.

- Durability: This paint features a formulation that resists fading, cracking, and peeling. With up to five years of colour protection on wooden surfaces, your garden will remain vibrant longer.

Preparation Guidelines

Before applying Ronseal Garden Paint, it’s essential to prepare the surfaces properly:

- New Wood: New wood should be weathered for a minimum of six weeks to eliminate any unwanted coatings. After this period, lightly sand the surface to remove splinters and fibres. Then, wipe it with a lint-free cloth slightly dampened with methylated spirits.

- Old Wood: For previously painted or weathered wood, lightly sand the surface to remove loose paint, dirt, and grease. Clean any mould or algae, and replace or treat any rotten wood. For larger structures like sheds and fences, a stiff wire brush is recommended.

- Brick or Stone: Ensure the surface is free from dust and debris before applying the paint.

- Terracotta: Sand down the surface until any existing glaze is removed. If water beads on the surface, continue sanding until it no longer does.

- Metal: Prime the metal surface before application, using a grey primer for dark colours and a white primer for lighter shades.

Application Process

To achieve optimal results, follow these steps:

1. Stir the paint well to ensure colour pigments are evenly mixed.

2. Test the colour on a small, hidden area to ensure satisfaction.

3. Apply the first coat using a brush. For wooden surfaces, always brush in the direction of the grain. Allow the first coat to dry for four hours.

4. For best coverage and protection, apply a total of three coats, lightly sanding between the second and third coats if painting a smooth surface.

After the final coat, rest assured knowing that your painted surfaces will be rainproof within an hour.

Aftercare and Maintenance

To extend the life of your paint job, regularly clean painted furniture and surfaces. Brushes can be cleaned using warm soapy water. If the finish begins to show wear over time, simply apply a fresh coat to revitalize colour and protection.

Ronseal Garden Paint promises beautiful, long-lasting results, allowing you to transform your outdoor spaces effortlessly. Available in a variety of colours, including the classic and elegant Black Bird, this paint is the ideal choice for any gardener looking to enhance their outdoor aesthetics.
