Preparation Guidance

To ensure the best performance of Ronseal Garden Paint, preparation is essential and varies slightly depending on the surface being painted:

- New Wood: Allow new wood to weather for six weeks to remove any initial coatings. Once weathered, lightly sand the surface to eliminate splinters and excess fibres, and wipe with a damp lint-free cloth soaked in methylated spirit.

- Old Garden Wood: For previously painted or weathered wood, sand down to remove loose paint and create a smooth surface. Use white spirit to clean any dirt or grease, while ensuring that any mould or algae is eliminated and any rotten wood is removed or treated. Sheds and fences can be prepped with a stiff wire brush.

- Brick or Stone: Brush away any dust and debris before painting to ensure a clean surface.

- Terracotta: Sand down the surface thoroughly to remove any existing glaze. Test with water to ensure that it does not bead, continuing to sand as necessary.

- Metal: Ensure metal surfaces are primed before application; choose a grey primer for darker colours and a white primer for lighter shades.

Application Process

Before starting, give the tin a good stir to mix the colour pigments thoroughly. Test the chosen colour on a small, inconspicuous area to confirm satisfaction before applying the first coat. When painting wood, it's essential to brush in the direction of the grain. Allow the first coat to dry for four hours before applying additional coats; for optimal coverage, three coats are recommended. Smooth surfaces should be lightly sanded between the second and third coats to enhance adhesion.

Aftercare and Maintenance

To prolong the life of your painted surfaces, regular cleaning is recommended—simply wipe down furniture to prevent dirt build-up. Brushes used for application can be cleaned easily in warm, soapy water. If the finish begins to wear over time, a fresh coat can be applied to maintain the vibrant colour and protective qualities of the paint.

With Ronseal Garden Paint, you can enjoy a beautifully colourful and protected garden for years to come. Its quick-drying, low-sheen finish ensures a professional look while providing excellent durability against all weather conditions.
