Rustins Brick & Tile Matt Red Paint is a quick-drying paint that bonds exceptionally well to brick and tile, producing a durable and weather-resistant matt finish.
The paint can be used for a range of masonry applications such as walls, cement, stone, tiles and bricks - both interior and exterior. It is pigmented with micronised red oxide to give good opacity and exterior durability.
During preparation, the bricks should be free from dust and contaminants. Brush the bricks with a wire brush to remove any existing finish, which may be flaking and to remove any loose particles and mortar.
A coat of alkali-resisting primer must then be applied and allowed to dry before applying Rustins Quick Dry Brick & Tile Paint. No primer is required if fresh mortar has been applied to the pointing and if painting new brickwork.
Use a large brush and apply evenly. Apply paint liberally, making sure the surface is covered completely.
A single coat is usually sufficient, but a second may be applied if required.
Drying time is approximately 30 minutes, depending on temperature and humidity. Re-coating time is approximately four hours. Ideal application temperature is 15-25°C. Do not apply if rain imminent.
Coverage is 14 sq.metres per litre per coat.
Rustins Brick & Tile Matt Red Paint is sold in 2.5L and 5L containers.
