Please Note: Protek have recently made the decision to change the pigments used in the manufacture of the Royal range. Every tin with the new pigment will have the prefix NEW on the label. The wet state colour does look a little different in some colours, but have matched to the dried finish product and there is little or no change in its appearance.

Ensure that wood to be painted is clean, dry and free from traces of dust, dirt or any other surface contaminants.

• Exterior wood should be thoroughly cleaned with warm water, detergent and a stiff brush
