Overview
A professional quality, water-based masonry paint designed to offer long-lasting weatherproof protection to most exterior masonry surfaces.

Preparation
Always ensure the surface is clean, dry and free from anything that may affect adhesion.
- For porous surfaces, apply 1 coat of Sandtex Trade Fine Textured Matt diluted with up to 40% clean water as a primer coat.
- Previously painted gloss surfaces will need to be abraded to provide a key.
- Losse or flaking material will need to be removed by scraping or brushing with a stiff bristled brush.
- Remove any organic growth by applying in accordance with the manufacturers instructions.
- Any surfaces that are porous or chalking should be treated with prior to the application of Sandtex Trade Fine Textured Matt Paint.
Application
We always recommend performing a test patch to the surface to be decorated to ensure you are happy with the finished results.
- Stir well, always intermix packs in a larger container for colour consistency.
- Apply using a 4-inch masonry brush or exterior roller, this product is not suitable for spraying due to the added aggregate.
- For maximum durability apply two coats of Sandtex Trade Fine Textured Matt paint, allowing 4-6 hours between each coat.
- Do not apply when there is risk of rain, frost or if the temperature will fall below 8°C during the application and drying period.
Always follow the manufacturer's instructions found on the tin.
