Preparation Steps

To achieve the best results, proper preparation of the surfaces is crucial.

# Preparing New Wood

New wood should be allowed to weather for six weeks to ensure any residual coatings are washed away. After this period, lightly sand the surface to remove any excess fibres and splinters. Wipe the wood down with a lint-free cloth that is slightly dampened with methylated spirits.

# Preparing Old Garden Wood

Old wooden surfaces that have been previously painted or left outdoors for an extended period should be quickly sanded to remove loose paint. This process helps to create a smooth surface for painting. Wipe down with white spirit to remove dirt or grease, and ensure any mould or algae is cleaned away. Any rotten wood should be cut away or treated. For larger structures like sheds and fences, a stiff wire brush can be effective.

- Brick or Stone: Brush away any dust and debris before applying paint.

- Terracotta: Sand the surface until the glaze is completely removed. Test by applying water; if it beads, continue sanding until it doesn't bead.

- Metal: Prime the surface before applying the Garden Paint, using grey primer for darker colours and white primer for lighter shades.

Application Process

Before applying the paint, stir the tin thoroughly to ensure the colour pigments are evenly mixed. It’s advisable to test the colour on a small, hidden patch first. When you're satisfied with the colour, apply the first coat, brushing in the direction of the wood grain for wood surfaces. Allow the first coat to dry for four hours before applying a second, and ideally, a third coat for optimal durability and protection. For smooth surfaces, lightly sand between the second and third coat.

Aftercare and Maintenance

To prolong the lifespan of your paint, it’s important to regularly clean painted surfaces. Wipe furniture clean to maintain its appearance, and clean brushes in warm, soapy water. If the finish begins to look worn over time, a fresh coat can easily be applied to restore its vibrant colour and protective properties.

Ronseal Garden Paint combines functionality with an attractive finish, allowing you to refresh and protect your outdoor spaces with ease.
