Application Guide

Preparation: Make sure all surfaces are sound, clean and dry. For best results, sand surfaces and use a wood preservative and/or knotting solution if required. Thorndown Wood Paint is self-priming but if you’re applying to an oily hardwood, metal or uPVC a primer is recommended. To avoid possible resin bleed or tannin stains from discolouring the coating apply the ‘Stain-blocking primer’ prior to painting.

Dilution: If you want a wash or wood stain effect (instead of paint), dilute with water up to 1:1 (50%). For full protection, you can then use an undiluted top coat of ‘UV Clear’ Wood Paint.

Application: Mix paint thoroughly before and during – best Shaken & Stirred! Use a brush, roller, or sprayer. ‘Avoid the rain, and apply with the grain’, as they say, and leave to dry. When coating large areas, paint up to still-wet paint, as applying over dry paint can make things look uneven and patchy.

Coverage: On average, 1 litre will cover 6-12m² per coat. Rough sawn surfaces will take a lot more paint than a smooth surface, and second coats take less than the first. So each paint can will do approximately:

150ml: 0.9m² – 1.8m²
750ml: 4.5m² – 9.0m²
2.5L: 15m² – 30m²

One coat can do the trick, but additional coats will offer greater protection and enhance colour. We always recommend at least two coats for protecting timber from water, the weather or regular use such as floors & decks.

Drying Time: In fine weather, a single coat dries easily in under an hour or two at 20°C with low humidity, however it will take longer in cold or damp. To slow down the drying process, add a little water.

Cleaning Up: Use hot or cold water, with or without detergent, on paint-wet equipment. Be very careful not to allow sprayer nozzles to dry out – this will make cleaning them almost impossible!

Disposal: Please don’t throw away unused or dried paint or preserver into drains or watercourses. Most local authorities have free facilities for disposing of paint.

Returns: We are happy for you to return any unused paint/preservative if surplus to requirements (within 14 days of delivery), although we are unable to refund your return carriage costs. Please contact us prior to returning your paint as we cannot accept unauthorised returns. A re-stocking charge of £3.99 per tin will apply on standard colours, and will be deducted from your refund. Please note that we cannot accept returns for specially mixed (RAL colours) under any circumstances, therefore please ensure that you order the correct colour/quantity for your needs.

Note

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and so is colour. We all see and interpret colour slightly differently to each other, as do our VDU screens, software and printers that we use. The colour swatches you see on screen and on a printed colour chart are designed as a guide.

The exact and final colour you paint up at home will look slightly different depending on the material you paint it onto and the lighting. For example a colour painted onto new softwood will look slightly different if painted on old hardwood. If you paint up a wooden planter the colour will look different depending on the lighting and where you put it in the garden.

We always recommend trying a small tin of Thorndown Wood Paint at home, where it’s going to end up. Our colours are made precisely using a technically engineered colour system ensuring continuity of colour throughout batches.

Ian Skinner – 07/05/2022

We ordered this paint after searching for some genuine Antracite Grey colour with RAL 7016 number. We wanted something to exactly match our recently install roller shutter garage door The reason for choosing Thorndowns was the exact colour match and their green ethos in their manufacturing process. The paint arrived the day after ordering which was excellent service The paint itself was a smooth consistency and had very little smell which we expected from its low VOC rating. It brushed on very easily with a nice finish. Touch dry within an hour and 2 coats have given a perfect finish Very pleased. Would consider other products from this company. Ian

I am so glad I found your product. Initially, I thought it sounded expensive at £15 for a smallish can. Money well spent! It did two coats on my shed and bench. Looks great! I then ordered a sample size for my newish front door which had been damaged by my twin grandchildrens double buggy. I just finished two coats today from a £5 sample pot. No sign of scratches whatsoever. I am ddelighted! Thank you so much.!

Super quick delivery and lovely paint to work with. Easy on, good coverage and low smells. At first i thought it definitely looked lighter than the colour on the colour chart card i had, closer to the cathedral green, but i see that in different light that it is indeed closer to sedge as ordered. In any case its a cheery green that goes particularly well with my newly resanded and oiled reddish brown doorstep. Thanks for the quick service

I just wanted to drop a line and say thank you for helping me to achieve the right colour for the interior of my greenhouse. The hazel colour of the table in the photo on your website was achieved by mixing it with the Orange you sent and am very pleased with the results now. The jet black on the outside is perfect with the rich colour on the inside. Kind regards

Have just received from you a 2.5litre can of the above, to paint my Anthracite Composite door surround/Inset between my Kitchen/Garage which was 12mm Hardwood Ply in Beech before your super Paint was applied. I am so pleased with the result; perfect match and finish. Paint Quality was superb and it applies so easily with no brush marks and dries very quickly. I would definitely recommend your company to all my friends etc. Keep up the good work. Many Thanks

Naomi Slade – 07/05/2022

I found it really nice to use – it goes on well and spreads evenly, giving good coverage which is not being too thin or thick. And it was also really forgiving when working on wood that is rough or thirsty like parts of my fence. It dries fast which is great when working outside, but not so fast that you have to dilute the bottom of the tin (!). So all in all I got the impression of a quality product, and I approve of the sustainable ethos, too.

Thorndown Paints are now our preferred Paint Suppliers…. we as a company offer our customers a unique ‘in-house’ painting service for garden sheds and summerhouses. To achieve the quality of finish that is acceptable we now use and recommend Thorndown Paints. The range of colours is extensive from subtle pastel shades to bright vibrant colours. Coverage is superb and the finish on planed timber is second to none, the finished surfaces have a very pleasing semi-gloss texture which gives a highly professional finish on the products painted (Spray or Brush application). We have no hesitation in recommending Thorndown Paint Products.
