Product Description
Sandtex Classic Stone Gloss is a water based smooth gloss paint for use on masonry and architectural features, available in colours such as grey and cream. It is designed to be used on surfaces that may traditionally have been painted with a solvent based gloss, but a water based paint is desired.
This paint is ideal for highlighting features such as stone sill, lintels and columns. It features good colour retention and durability, and is water vapour permeable.
In addition to the colours shown here, we can custom tint a wide range of colours. Please contact us for more details on this service.
We also have other Sandtex masonry paints available, including X-Treme X-posure and High Cover.

Please note: If you have purchased your required colour previously from an alternative Sandtex / Crown stockist or are looking to touch up existing painted surface please do not purchase this item, unless you are overcoating the whole area and accept there may be a possible colour differential.
We cannot guarantee an exact match on the colour due to differences in production batches and methods from various Crown / Sandtex stockists

Preparation:
To ensure a durable and effective bilge paint application, it’s crucial to properly prepare the surface. Start by cleaning the substrate thoroughly to remove any dirt, grease, or oil. You can use a degreaser or mineral spirits for this step. Next, inspect the surface for any rust or old paint. If present, remove the rust using a wire brush, sandpaper, grinder or suitable rust remover / treatment. For old paint, use a paint stripper or sand it down until you reach the bare metal. Once the surface is clean and free of rust and old paint, sand it with fine-grit sandpaper to create a smooth and slightly roughened surface for better paint adhesion. Finally, wipe down the steel with a clean cloth to remove any dust or debris before applying our rust-inhibitive marine primer. After the primer has dried, you can proceed with applying our high build marine undercoat and then one but preferably two coats of the bilge paint.
Application:
Best results are obtained in warm (minimum 10°C), dry conditions.
Mix thoroughly for approximately 2 minutes using a drill stirrer. A wooden batten at least 25mm wide is also ideal.
Apply an even coat using a brush, short to medium pile roller on smooth surfaces.
For spray application by either airless or conventional spray a dilution ration of no more than 10% is recommended with Palatine White Spirit by volume.
A second coat can be applied at full strength. This will prolong the life and performance of the coating.
For application onto wooden surfaces, a minimum of two coats is recommended.
