Frequently Asked Questions About This Product
What roller should I use?
When painting with VP Platinum Project, we recommend using the VP stain roller. This roller ensures a streak-free finish, which can sometimes be difficult to achieve with a brush. Additionally, this roller does not shed, so you won’t have to deal with removing fluff from your paintwork.
What brush should I use?
Using the right brush is crucial when painting with VP Platinum Project. The correct brush ensures an even application of the paint onto the surface. We recommend the VP Gold Mix Brush and the VP Platinum Stain Brush for this paint. These brushes are made with a combination of natural and synthetic fibres that deeply absorb the paint and evenly distribute it.
What is this product used for?
VP Platinum Project is the ideal paint for painting outdoor wooden surfaces. It is mainly used for wooden garden objects such as fences, garden sheds, or outdoor furniture. However, it can also be used on any other outdoor wood. VP Platinum Project is a one-pot system, meaning the paint acts as both a primer and a topcoat. You can apply it directly onto bare wood. For untreated wood, two coats of VP Platinum Project are typically needed.
What is the coverage per square metre of VP Platinum Project?
The theoretical coverage of VP Platinum Project is 10 to 12 m² per litre. However, keep in mind that actual coverage can vary depending on external factors such as temperature and surface condition. The theoretical coverage assumes a temperature of 18 to 20 degrees Celsius and normal humidity. We always recommend ordering a bit more paint than you think you’ll need to ensure you don’t run out during your project.
What colours can this product be mixed in?
VP Platinum Project can be mixed in any colour at De Verfmenger. Use our handy colour selector to easily choose your desired shade. VP Platinum Project is mixed to your selected colour using official mixing machines and corresponding pigments, guaranteeing a true-to-colour and radiant finish.
Step-by-step guide for painting with VP Platinum Project
We have created the following step-by-step guide for painting with VP Platinum Project:
- Step 1: Degrease the surface.
This preparation step is crucial for ensuring optimal adhesion between the surface and the product.
- Step 2: Lightly sand the old paint layer or the wood.
This step enhances adhesion and helps prevent any imperfections from showing in the final result.
- Step 3: Make the surface dust-free.
Removing dust ensures that no debris contaminates the paint, maintaining a smooth surface and a beautiful glossy finish.
- Step 4: Apply the first coat of paint to the prepared surface.
This will give your wood a neat and beautiful finish. If the wood is already primed, a second coat may not be necessary.
- Step 5: Apply a second coat after one day (if needed).
This step is required only if the wood has not been primed. For primed wood, one coat of VP Platinum Project is sufficient. Applying a second coat on untreated wood ensures optimal coverage and a smooth finish.
