For a more textured finish, try Sandtex Microseal Textured Masonry Paint.

Please Note: This product is not suitable for common or fletton type bricks.

This product has just had a name change from Sandtex Ultra Smooth Masonry Paint, however the formula is still the same.

All surfaces must be sound, clean, dry and free from anything that will interfere with the adhesion of Sandtex paint.

• New surfaces usually require little preparation, but must be completely dried out before painting
• Treat any organic growth with a suitable mould and mildew cleaner, before brushing down the masonry surfaces to avoid spreading live spores - re-apply after brushing if necessary
• Remove all loose and flaking material by scraping or brushing with a stiff bristle brush (not wire)
• Chalking, weathered, powdery and porous surfaces should be brushed down and treated with a suitable stabilising solution

Always do a test area before starting any project to check product suitability and final finish. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the container at all times. Do not apply if there is a risk of rain or frost or if the temperature will fall below 8°C (46°F) during drying.

1. Stir the paint thoroughly before and periodically during use.
2. Apply Sandtex Smooth Masonry Paint with a masonry brush or exterior roller
3. For best results, 2 coats are recommended
4. Leave 3-4 hours drying time between coats
5. When over-painting darker colours an extra coat may be required

Yes, we recommend application by either a good quality masonry brush, exterior roller, or airless spray.

Monocouche can be painted to change its colour or refresh its appearance. Sandtex do not list monocouche specifically as a commonly used substrate so we would advise a test area before use.

It is not designed for this kind of substrate. Instead, consider Sandtex 10 Year Exterior Gloss Paint or Sandtex 10 Year Exterior Satin Paint as dedicated finishes for exterior timber.

If the bricks are sound and dry then yes, this is a great option.

The retail version is slightly thicker than the trade paint to make it easier to apply for the less experienced user.

We wouldn't advise this paint on this type of surface as it isn't durable enough under foot.

Sandtex Smooth Masonry Paint is suitable for use on an internal garage breeze block wall, as it provides a durable, smooth finish designed to withstand various conditions, which is beneficial in spaces like garages.
