FAQs

What is Coo-Var Ebony Black?

This is a specialist black paint designed to give a classic black finish with a low sheen finish for decorative and protective application

How does Coo-Var Ebony Black work?

It is formulated to give that deep black, slightly shiny “ebony” look while also protecting the surface underneath

How many coats of Coo-Var Ebony Black do I need?

We would advise on two coats for an effective system, but a third coat can be applied to achieve an extra rich surface

Do I need to prime the surface before applying Coo-Var Ebony Black?

This is, of course, subjective to the substrate being painted:

- Wood: Direct to well-prepared surface

- Concrete: Direct to well-prepared surface

- Masonry: Direct to well-prepared surface

- Metal: Coo-Var Zinc Phosphate Primer

Is Coo-Var Ebony Black ​safe to use?

Yes — it is safe to use, but only if you follow proper safety precautions typical for solvent-based paints. It’s not hazardous in normal decorative use, but it does contain solvents
that can pose health and safety risks if directly inhaled or handled incorrectly

Can Coo-Var Ebony Black go over previously painted surfaces?

Yes, but the surface must be well prepared. This generally involves removing any loose/flaking previous coatings, lightly abrading the remaining sound/stable previous paint and ensuring the surface is clean and free from any dust or debris.

Depending on the type of substrate, only bare areas (as a result of loose/flaking previous coating being removed) should be spot-primed before applying our Ebony Black

Can I repaint over Coo-Var Ebony Black?

Yes. Both solvent-based and water-based paints can go over this, but its surface will need to be cleaned, have any loose/flaking paint removed, and sound/stable coatings will need to be lightly abraded first.

Does Coo-Var Ebony Black come in different colours?

No, this product is specifically designed in black only

What maintenance is required?

You should periodically wipe it clean with a soft cloth or mild soapy water and inspect for cracks, chips, or peeling. Minor damage can be touched up with another thin coat
