Preparation for Ronseal One Coat Everywhere Quick Dry Matt Paint - 5L
Make sure the room is above 10°C. Open your doors and windows and cover any areas you don't want to get paint on.
Previously painted walls:
Sand off any loose or flaking paint. Then give the walls a wipe with a damp cloth to get rid of any dust or dirt. If you're trying to cover a contrasting colour use a basecoat first. It'll mean using up less paint and getting the job done with less coats
Bare plaster:
If you've had your walls and ceilings re-plastered, let it dry for 7 days before painting. You'll then need to seal the plaster.
Bare & previously painted wood:
Give the wood a light sand with 120 grit sandpaper, then wipe away the dust with a damp cloth. Fill any holes and cracks and treat any knots. Our Knot Block Primer will do this for you
Bare and painted metal:
Sand off any loose and flaking paint, then wipe away the dust with a damp cloth. If painting bare ferrous metals such as cast iron or steel, you will need to use a specialist primer first.
Application
Give your paint a really good stir. If you've got more than one tin of the same colour, mix them together. This will ensure the colour is consistent.
Get lots of paint on your roller or brush. Always work from dry to wet areas. Don't spread the paint too thin. Extra coats may be needed when trying to cover bold or contrasting colours.
It'll be touch dry in 1 hour. If a second coat is needed wait 2-4 hours. Do not thin this paint.
