Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I apply this paint over old masonry paint?
A: Yes, as long as the old paint is sound, clean, and dry. Any flaking or loose material should be removed prior to application, and the surface should be primed if necessary.

Q: Does this paint require a primer?
A: Most exterior masonry surfaces do not require a separate primer when using this product. However, porous or chalky surfaces may benefit from a masonry stabilising solution.

Q: How many coats are recommended?
A: Two coats are typically recommended for optimal durability and colour depth. Highly textured or porous surfaces may require additional coverage.

Q: What is the best method of application?
A: Use a masonry brush, roller, or airless spray system for even application. Avoid applying during rainy or extremely cold weather conditions.

Q: Is this paint suitable for coastal properties?
A: Yes, its weather-resistant formulation performs well in coastal environments. Ensure proper surface preparation and follow drying guidelines for best results.

Q: Can this paint be tinted to other colours?
A: This range is available in select ready-mixed colours. For custom tints, check with a local Johnstone’s stockist offering colour mixing services.

Q: How should I clean up after application?
