Is Coo-Var Matt Black safe to use?

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

Yes, provided the surface is prepared accordingly for the best adhesion results possible:

- Remove all loose/flaking material & ensure the surface is clean

Can I repaint over Coo-Var Matt Black?

Yes you can, provided its surface has cured properly, its been given a light sanding and has been cleaned first.

This product only comes available in black

What maintenance is required?

Regular maintenance is generally advised to ensure it is regularly clean

- Light cleaning only – Use a soft cloth or sponge with a mild detergent and water

- Avoid scrubbing – it’s a matt finish, so heavy rubbing can burnish (go shiny) or mark the surface

- Dry wipe first – for dust or light marks, a dry or slightly damp cloth is usually enough
