Using NOVEX PRANO Paving Paint – FAQ and Best Results
If you’re looking to refresh your paths, steps, decks, or verandas, NOVEX PRANO Paving Paint is a great choice. It’s a tough, water-based acrylic enamel that protects walk-on surfaces and dries to a durable satin finish. Whether it’s inside or outside, PRANO gives long-lasting colour and UV protection, making it perfect for everyday foot traffic areas.
What is PRANO Paving Paint ideal for?
PRANO is designed for concrete or timber surfaces that see light to moderate foot traffic. Typical uses include:
Outdoor paths and steps
Decks and verandas
Residential workshop floors
Laundry or bathroom floors
It’s not recommended for driveways, garage floors, or areas exposed to heavy machinery or chemicals.
Do I need to prime?
For most surfaces, PRANO works as a primer, undercoat, and finish in one. But for new or porous concrete or timber, a thin 10% water-thinned coat is recommended first. This helps seal the surface and gives the full colour and durability you want.
What about non-slip surfaces?
Safety is important, especially on wet or sloping areas. You can mix NOVEX Non-Slip Additive into your PRANO paint to give a decorative, slip-resistant finish that meets New Zealand Building Code standards. It’s easy to use and won’t affect the colour much, while giving peace of mind on paths, steps, and decks.
Tips for best results:
Clean the surface thoroughly and remove any mould, moss, or lichen using NOVEX TREAT-IT Fungicidal Treatment & Cleaner. Let it die off and remove it before painting.
Apply on a fine day when temperatures are above 5°C and there’s no rain expected.
Use a good-quality brush or roller and apply evenly in slow, steady strokes. Two full coats are recommended.
Allow overnight drying before walking on the surface.
With the right preparation and care, PRANO Paving Paint will give your surfaces a fresh, durable finish that lasts. It’s a simple, reliable solution for both DIY beginners and experienced painters.
