Is Bradite One Can eggshell suitable for cast iron without a primer? I am looking to paint an old cast iron lamp post.

Assuming the cast iron is clean, dry, sound and prepared as detailed in the technical datasheet, this product could be applied direct to this surface, with a 2-3 coat application recommended. It is classified as a Primer/Finish product.

Can this paint be used on an external varnished door?

Assuming the door is a varnished timber door, that is clean, dry and sound, we'd recommend sanding the existing coating with 120 grit sandpaper to remove as much varnish as possible, followed by 3 full coats of Bradite One Can Eggshell in your choice of many RAL, BS or NCS Colours to finish.

Hi, could this be used on windows to stop light coming in?

Assuming the glass is thoroughly cleaned and degreased to ensure the removal of all surface contaminants, grease and oils, this product can be applied direct to glass, however when painting glass brush strokes can be visible from the other side of the glass. It is recommended to apply 3 full coats to achieve the intended outcome, as it is a 3-in-1 product it will prime, seal and stain block the glass for the intended finish. This is a non-removable product once the glass has been coated, assuming you would like the option of a removable product, you could consider Coo-Var White Glass Shading.

How long is the guarantee on a front door before it would need re-painting? Also why would it keep flaking in some parts despite sanding and re-coating, particularly around beading?

If flaking is occuring there could be a few possible causes, please can you provide more information and pictures of the areas to technical@rawlinspaints.com.

can you use this product Bradite One eggshell for painting modern kitchen cupboards, that are made of mdf with a coating on top

Assuming you check for compatibility and adhesion prior to full application, the substrate is clean, dry, sound and prepared as detailed in the technical data sheet then yes. If you are looking for a scuff resistant and scrubbable option assuming you check for compatibility and adhesion prior to full application we can recommend Zinsser Bulls Eye 1-2-3 followed by Zinsser Perma-White Interior .

The decorator is wanting to put a primer on my old wood internal staircase so he can see where it needs filling and any imperfections, is it ok to use your ok to use your Bradite One Can on top of normal primer, also which would you suggest best for internal old wood staircase, (you have so many) ie quick drying. Thank you

Bradite One Can is suitable for both application to bare or previously painted timber and would be classed as a primer/finish. We would not recommend this product be used on any areas that would be walked on.

How do I clean the PVC door before applying the paint

Assuming the door is UPVC we would recommend using Bradite Industrial Degreaser .

Hello, I see that this can be used for a vinyl wardrobe, can it also be used on vinyl flooring? I have a very small area at the bottom of my stairs that I’d like to paint. Many thanks,

We would recommend you test for compatibility and adhesion prior to application as it does not list vinyl as a substrate. This is not suitable for use on a floor, assuming the vinyl floor is clean, dry, sound, prepared as detailed in the technical data sheet, you also test for compatibility and adhesion prior to application we can recommend Smartkote Protectakote UVR Smooth . This is available in black, white or clear.

Hi, can this be used on exterior aluminium. If yes, what prep does it need before. Many thanks

Assuming the aluminium is clean, dry, degreased and abraded prior to application Bradite One can can be used on External Aluminium.

I have fitted wardrobe which has a vinyl surface finish. Does the vinyl need any prep to ensure adhesion. Thanks

Bradite One Can would be suitable for painting over vinyl coated wardrobes, clean and degrease using Bradite Industrial Degreaser diluted with 9 parts warm water and scrubbing, rinse with clean water and allow to dry. Apply three coats allowing not less than 1 hour between coats, in the colour of choice.

Is it possible to get your one can paint in clear? We have some very old interior wood cladding that the client wants to have a colour wash finish,so we don't want to obliterate the grain with a primer,but do want to block the knots and seal rusty nails.thanks Alistair

Bradite One Can is not available in clear. Zinsser SealCoat would be a good product to try. It will seal the knots and rust stains. It may pay to put a couple of coats on where there are rust stains. You can then apply a colour wash coat over the SealCoat. You may need to do some tests with the colour wash over the Sealcoat.

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]

Description

Bradite One Can Eggshell

Bradite One Can Eggshell is a dual-purpose primer and finish solution designed for both professional and DIY use. Its quick-drying nature means that surfaces can be ready for re-coating in just one hour under normal conditions. The low odour and water-based formula make it easily applicable in a wide range of areas compared to solvent-based alternatives. It is especially effective at promoting adhesion to various substrates, including ferrous and non-ferrous metals, plastics, ceramics, and wood.

Applications

Whether you're coating exterior cladding, metal surfaces, or plastics such as uPVC, this product offers reliable performance. It is ideal for use on surfaces previously coated with materials like coil, plastisol, and powder coatings, requiring minimal preparation. Additionally, it locks in stains such as watermarks, nicotine, and even hard wood resin, providing a clean base for further coats.

Preparation and Application

Proper surface preparation is crucial for achieving the best results. All surfaces must be free from dust, grease, and moisture before application. For metals, it's recommended to degrease and lightly abrade the surface. Plastics and uPVC surfaces should be treated with methylated spirits before application. For the best finish, apply at least two coats, with up to three coats needed for high stain-blocking or anticorrosive performance.

Limitations and Restrictions

This product is not recommended for lime or natural plasters. Additionally, it should not be used on damp surfaces or on green oak that has not been weathered for at least six months. Over-application may result in prolonged drying times, and applying to poorly prepared surfaces can compromise adhesion.

Recommended Products

For additional protection on heavily rusted surfaces, consider using Bradite Rust Converter RC46 before applying this product. For cleaning and degreasing, Bradite TD39 Industrial Degreaser is recommended. Always refer to the downloadable datasheets for detailed product specifications and application guidance.

Health and Safety

UN Number: 3082

This product is classified as hazardous to aquatic life with long-lasting effects. It contains zinc oxide and trizinc bis(orthophosphate). Always wear gloves and protective eyewear when handling. Refer to the product's MSDS for full safety guidelines.
