Hi please advise what I can use to remove hundreds of specks of dried oil based paint from our bathtub? Tried scrubbing with bathroom cleaners but not shifting. Thank you

This product is designed to help remove dried on water-based paint coatings only. As an alternative, you could consider Thermoguard Thermostrip PRO , this product has been developed for application of all types of water and solvent-based coatings. We would recommend applying to a small test area firstly to check for compatibility.

What is the best way to apply this to ceilings to remove nicotine stains and smell before painting?

For this application, we'd recommend applying directly to the surface and allow to briefly penetrate before wiping clean with a cloth or towel. If using prior to painting, ensure any residue is fully rinsed away. If the stains are proving difficult to remove, apply a generous amount of cleaner and allow to stand for 5-10 minutes before wiping dry. To ensure any nicotine stains are covered and sealed, apply a finishing coat of Zinsser B-I-N in your choice of 1500+ RAL, BS & NCS Colours.

Will this product remove rust ( caused by hanging basket brackets ) from exterior walls that have been painted with Wetherprufe Heavy Duty Protective Coating ?

ColourPicker Explained

In general we sort colours for products into 2 main groups - ‘Ready Mixed’ and ‘Tinted’.
Tinted colours will always be more expensive than Ready Mixed colours as they need to be produced at the time of order using a tinting machine dispensing colourant into a base*.
During busy periods, this means that tinted colours could take longer, for example – a ready mixed colour ordered on a 3-5 day delivery might arrive within 3 days, however a tinted colour might take the full 5 days to arrive.

To find Ready Mixed colours, search "ready mixed" or select the Ready Mixed 'colour chart'. To see Tinted colours select a colour chart such as RAL, BS, NCS, etc. or search for a colour/hue to see available or related options.

To ensure fair pricing, we split colours into ‘Price Bands’ to group together similar priced colours. If you wish to search for the cheapest tinted colours, always select Price Band 1.

We make every effort to list all available colours, however we also offer a colour match service which can be accessed by contacting our Technical Team on 0113 245 5450 (option 2) or emailing [email protected]

*Colours are sold in the nearest tin size but actual paint volume per tin may vary up to 10% depending on colour

Colour reproduction of the Products on the Site is limited by the technology used to deliver web pages and by the colour representation of Customer’s own monitor and computer set-up.
