Good to know

• Can I paint outside in cold or damp weather? Water-based paint dries slowly and can wash off if rain or frost hits it before it has dried, so pick a dry, mild day and start early.
• Which metals can it go on? Ferrous metals such as steel and iron, rusty or not, and non-ferrous metals such as aluminium, with no primer needed first; wire-brush off any loose rust.
• How do I clean the brushes? Brushes used for water-based paint can be washed out in water, so there are no solvent cleaners to buy or dispose of afterwards.

Which one?
