White Knight Paints

Do not buy this paint if you are not going to use immediately. Today I threw out an almost full (small) can of White Knight Gloss White Paint, that I purchased about 18 months ago. Tried using & it was not good. Very disappointed - will not buy this brand again.

Defective cans and poor quality paint! – Approx 20% of the spray can nozzles drip, destroying your final product. Also agree that paint itself is poor quality, soft and poor adherance. Made a real mistake in selecting this product to paint my aluminium doors. Stay clear!!

Tub and Basin Paint for bathtub reno – I previously used White Knight Tile and Tub paints with success in kitchen and bathroom. This time purchased the new Tub and Basin paint for the bath. Repainting a bath can work out well but relies on knowledge of product, good prep, and good painting technique. I watched the youtube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=718ZnrEmn38 and… Read more ·  1

followed all instructions. Some important tips - wait the allotted time after painting to allow proper curing. Make sure no water from taps or shower drip onto work during the period, and only use (very important) the White Knight Rust Guard Solvent for all clean ups. I tried Acetone and Mineral Turps (as recommended in some videos) and ruined all brushes and rollers so had to repurchase. Use a brush around the top of the bath and corners, then small micro roller for the bath interior surface for a professional finish. Watch for any running paint drips on your work and brush or roller over asap. If the paint hardens on the roller during coats, use a new roller. Our new bath looks great. We stand in our bath to use the shower so I will be interested to see if the standing foot traffic lowers the wearability. In the past we've used suction bath mats for a non-slip surface but this has contributed to the paint lifting over time in the areas kept wet under the mat. Giving a 'Good' rating as can only base my response on the paint not the wearability yet.

Combustion heater panels as good as new – I used the product as directed on the panels of a Kent combustion heater after 20 years of use. I am totally satisfied with the finish in both appearance and hardness/durability. I took extra effort in the proper preparation - removal of rust and careful sanding - and was rewarded with an 'as-new' appearance. Show details

Impressed – I was a little skeptical using tile paint paint my bath wall tiles. I went ahead with it and never look back. Sure! Hard work, patience and following the instructions to a tee made tge tiles look as ifthey are realtiles. I recommend the White Night tile paint Show details

Peeling paint – I have cleaned and painted my small concrete courtyard for 6 years now with White Knights Ultra Pave Heavy Duty paint and it's always peeled, but for the past two years it has split and peeled after two days - I'm more than disappointed as preparation takes ages.

Grout paint pens are garbage – Purchased 2 x grout paint pens. $24 each. For a few measly drips of paint. Neither pens worked properly. One didn’t work at all. The paint would not flow no matter what. The second pen flowed intermittently. Tossed both in the garbage and purchased a different brand that worked perfectly. Show details

Never again – Be warned before using. You will likely need 3 coats and instructions say recoat can be applied within 36. This means you will have to apply exactly within the 12 hour range. Very difficult to apply, i used a roller and left small bits of material. The brush leaves streaks. This product has basically ruined my bath and wasted my money. Never again nor would i recommend this product. I would like a refund for this product Show details

Rust guard white knight water base pain is rubbish – Used water based rust guard white knight on new steel followed instructions applied 2 coats and it is rubbish. Within a month rust starts to come through, sanded back and applied another coat again within a few weeks rust came through This paint should not be sold Show details

RUBBISH PAINT – Used on galvanized piping, followed instructions to the letter. Useless, paint won't grab, and you flake with your finger nail. I do not know why Bunnings sells it. anything for a dollar.

Not happy – When your packaging says you can clean your brush with mineral turps then that should be accurate. I have had to throw out my expensive brush that I had just bought after the first cover. I went back to Bunnings and told them and they inform me this happens to lots of people using the tub & basin paint. I’ve rung the number to talk to tech and… Read more

just get to no one. Have emailed them as my paint brush should be refunded. It was $31. Then I read all these reviews from people saying the same has happened to them. This is not ok.

White Knight Bench Top Protective Coating – Don't get caught using their Tile and Laminate Paints as I did. If you opt for their Semi Gloss or Gloss paint for a Kitchen Bench Top you will loose the benefit of both the minute you use the Bench Top Protective Coating as it is a MAT finish not even a Low sheen as they discribe. To Get a truely Gloss finish the only product to buy is Rust-Oleum… Read more

Counter Top Paint. Also don't try to use another Gloss Hardening product to remedy the problem it won't work. The only remedy is to strip back the White Knight product and start again using Rust-Oleum, a brilliant product. White Knight needs to add a Gloss & Semi Gloss Protective Coating to complement their Gloss and Semi Gloss paints for Bench Tops, or only promote Mat Benchtop paint as that is all you will ultimately end up with.

Way below par – Hands down, the worst paint I have ever used. It had the consistency of water. Thankfully I only purchased a small can; would never contemplate using this paint again, disappointing. Show details

Clear Crystal Acrylic gloss spray rendered matt with shiny spots my previous fine glossy surface – I had my kitchen bench finished in gloss. Since I had a small spot which lost its shine after usage, I used the Clear Crystal Clear Acrylic gloss from Bunnings to spray over. On the can the manufacturer states that the product is suitable for application over "most solvent or water based paints". I shook the can well before and during the… Read more

application following the instructions. The result was though a shiny spot surrounded by a much larger matt zone. I sprayed then a larger surface hoping to cover the new surrounding matt zone but the final outcome was a matt surface with islands of shiny stains and drops of spray over what was before an nearly perfect glossy surface. Somehow the Clear Crystal gloss spray succeeded to remove the gloss of the finish below. While before the application we had just a glossy surface with a small matt spot, we have now an entire matt surface with random glossy zones. Now we have to have the whole surface cleaned, sanded... and repainted, perhaps professionally.

White Knight product required for clean up – I used the White Knight Tub & Basin to repaint the shower. Clean up states Mineral Turps can be used to clean brushes etc. This was not the case as it made it tacky making the brush, roller and tray unusable for the next step. To proceed with using the second half of the product I had to purchase a new brush, roller and tray. One pack would not… Read more

cover the shower so I was required to purchase another box of the two part product for which I will have to purchase a new brush, roller and tray for each coat which is now cheaper to purchase than purchasing the Rust Guard Solvent. It seems the only product to clean up is to purchase the Rust Guard Solvent, this should be stated on the product and packaging not advising Mineral Turps can also be used.

Terrible! – Despite going above and beyond with the prep work as detailed on the pack, the finish lasted less than 12 months before it started to peel. The shower base is peeling off in huge chunks and the bath is bubbling and peeling. Think I would have been better off just using a regular oil based enamel than this difficult to use 2 pack mix. It did look great when first done. Show details

Painting bare aluminium outdoor SLS primer + epoxy paint DON'T go there – I have been painting an aluminium glasshouse (cleaned with soap, thoroughly sanded) with a white knight SLS base (etch primer) and epoxy enamel at the top advised by bunnings. Paint didn't harden properly, scrapes off easily with a fingernail. After weeks of drying still feels soft. Water also penetrates the paint and goes bubbly on the aluminium when two surfaces touch. All was painted indoors and moved outdoors after drying.  Show details

Rust Guard quick dry true bite – Product stayed soft and failed to adhere to clean steel. Had to remove all paint and use another product. Will never use again Show details

Absolutely crap – Bought from Bunnings. For my drive way. We let it dry for 7 days. It became an ice skating ring when it rained. Absolutely crap product. Going take legal action for my injuries be aware.....

White Knight Stain Stop Sealer !Rubbish – Followed Instructions ,Cleaned water stain Gyprock ceiling with bleach , dried lightly sanded & applied this Rubbish .Coated the ceiling when dried and low & behold the stain bled through.3 applications later I can still see the stain hoping the 4th coat will cover the stain. Save your money do not purchase this product!!!!!!

Bath paint- awful product/ revolting finish – The first time when we bought our first home and renovated, I used white knight bath paint to freshen up the existing bath. It was fine. Fast forward 3 years and I repainted to again freshen up. Once more I followed the multi stage process and the finish is horrible. I will post photos. It is bubbling, ‘crusty’ and lumpy. The whole thing will now… Read more

need stripping and redoing by a professional. I can’t believe that the cost of this does not mean quality. You need a deft touch to get it on and not repeatedly go over where you be painted did it is extremely sticky and tacky. On our bath, despite much care, and experience , the second coat in revolting and embarrassing. Would not recommend this product unfortunately

Rubbish paint. Don't buy it. Sunshine yellow enamel – I purchased a small tin of sunshine yellow enamel paint. It says on the back of the tin to use two applications. What a lie! I have applied five applications and you can still see through the paint. It is like runny honey with a dash of pigment. Used to be made in Australia, now made in china, what utter rubbish it is. Will never buy White Knight products again. Lift your game or your company will fold up due to bad publicity... Show details

Trash paint – I bought the aerosol version of this White Knight rust guard epoxy enamel paint in black satin finish. Absolutely trash, it doesn't even flash I've primed and painted an automotive part and it's been 2 weeks, it's still sticky to the touch. And it's really expensive paint too, don't be fooled by the word epoxy, save your money and buy another brand. PPG should be ashamed wearing it's name on this. Show details

White Knight Paints 'Splashes' range – This paint is poor quality. It has the worst coverage of a previous coat -of any paint I have used. I've been painting for 35 years. It is very 'see-through' Please dont buy it Show details
