Coverage & Application
1
Craftmaster Narrowboat Coach Enamel typically covers approximately 10–12 square metres per litre, depending on the surface condition and method of application.

For best results, apply to clean, dry, and properly prepared surfaces. Any rust, grease, or old paint should be removed or sanded back to ensure good adhesion.
3
Apply using a high-quality brush or roller in thin, even coats to achieve a smooth, professional finish. Multiple thin coats are recommended rather than one thick coat, as this improves durability, coverage, and overall appearance.
4
Allow adequate drying time between coats and avoid painting in cold or damp conditions, as this can affect drying and final finish quality.
