Overview

Rustins Quick Dry Masonry Paint is a high-performance, water-based paint that transforms masonry surfaces with a smooth, durable matt finish. Perfect for both interior and exterior use, it delivers excellent coverage and reliable weather resistance, making it ideal for walls, bricks, cement, stone, and tiles.

Its fast-drying formula means your projects can be completed quickly, while the tough, breathable finish protects surfaces from the elements and everyday wear, keeping them looking fresh for longer.

• Excellent adhesion with strong weather resistance
• Water-based - low odour and simple clean-up

Preparation

Surfaces must be solid, clean, dry, and free from dust, dirt, grease, or other contaminants that could affect paint adhesion.

• Remove any existing flaking paint, loose particles, or damaged mortar. Fill cracks and repair any damaged pointing.
• If the surface shows signs of efflorescence (white crystalline deposits), brush it off thoroughly and apply a coat of Alkali-Resisting Primer, allowing it to dry completely before painting.
• No primer is required if fresh mortar has been used in pointing or when painting new brickwork.
• For previously painted surfaces, apply the paint to a small test area to ensure compatibility. Incompatible surfaces may result in flaking.
• Do not apply to surfaces with persistent dampness. All sources of moisture must be resolved before painting.

Application

• Use a large brush to apply the paint evenly. Apply liberally to ensure complete coverage of the surface.
• Ideal application temperature: 15-25°C.
• Do not apply below 10°C, in high humidity, or when rain is imminent.
• 1 coat is usually sufficient. Apply a second coat only if necessary.
• Touch dry in approximately 30 minutes, depending on temperature and humidity.
• Recoat after approximately 4 hours, depending on ambient conditions.
• Approximately 14 m² per litre per coat, depending on surface absorbency.
• Once fully dry, the surface can be washed with a mild detergent to keep it clean.
