Preparation

Ensure all surfaces are sound, clean, dry and free from dirt, grease and other contamination.

  • For most surfaces it is recommended to use a dilute Sugar Soap solution following the manufacturer's instructions. We do not recommend using solvent-based cleaning products or strong alkaline solutions as these can impact adhesion.
  • After cleaning, wipe the surface with a damp cloth and allow to dry.
  • When opening a new tin of paint, don't allow any dust or debris to fall from the lid into the continents. If you are reusing a tin of paint, it is recommended to strain it.
  • Ferrous Metal & Non Ferrous Preparation:

    • Thoroughly clean and degrease new and previously painted metal surfaces.
    • Remove any weak paint and rust back to bare metal.
    • Apply two coats of Farrow & Ball Metal Primer & Undercoat, in the correct colour tone for your top coat, and allow a minimum of 4 hours drying time between coats.
    • Apply two coats of your chosen Farrow & Ball finish, allowing the correct drying time between coats.
    Cast Iron: We recommend that a specialist primer is applied to Cast Iron surfaces prior to painting as water-based primers may lead to flash rusting.

    Galvanised Metal Preparation:

    • Treat all surfaces with an Etch Primer or Mordant Solution, ensuring any excess product is removed before you begin painting.
    • Apply two coats of Farrow & Ball Metal Primer & Undercoat, in the correct colour tone for your top coat, and allow a minimum of 4 hours drying time.
    • Apply two coats of your chosen Farrow & Ball finish, allowing the correct drying time between coats.

    Radiator Preparation:

    • This product is suitable for painting conventional hot water filled radiators where the surface temperature does not exceed 60° C. We do not recommend using this product to paint steam filled radiators which operate at a much higher temperature.
    • Ensure the radiator is turned off and has cooled before you begin painting it.
    • Thoroughly clean and degrease new or previously painted radiator surfaces.
    • Remove any weak paint and rust back to the original surface.
    • Apply two coats of Farrow & Ball Metal Primer & Undercoat, in the correct colour tone for your top coat and allowing a minimum of 4 hours drying time between coats.
    • Apply two coats of your chosen Farrow & Ball finish, allowing the correct drying time between coats.
    Cast Iron Radiators: We recommend that a specialist primer is applied to Cast Iron surfaces prior to painting as water-based primers may lead to flash rusting

    Find out more information about the preparation of various surfaces on the "Product Advice Sheet" in the "Datasheet" section.

    Application

    Always test a small area of the surface to be painted to ensure compatibility

    Don't over dilute the Primer & Undercoat or mist coat. This will reduce their opacity, causing an uneven finish and incomplete colour development. Before applying the top coat, consider if a second, undiluted coat of Primer & Undercoat is needed to achieve full opacity.

    • Stir thoroughly before use.
    • Ensure all surfaces are sound, clean, dry and free from dirt, grease and other contamination. Please note that flaking or peeling may occur if you paint over weak paint layers - to avoid this sand back any previous weak paint layers before you start painting.
    • For most applications, a quality fine-tipped synthetic bristled paint brush or medium pile woven polyester roller is recommended.

    Find out more information about the Application on the "Product Advice Sheet" in the "Datasheet" section.

    Always follow manufacturer's instructions found on the tin

    For the very best results, Farrow & Ball always recommend using a Farrow & Ball Primer & Undercoat.
