I ordered this paint for the roof of my caravan. The caravan specialist gave me this review of the paint: "I have got one coat on the roof and it really stinks, which tells me it is chemical based, but it is like water, previously it was gloopy like old fashioned gloss paint. When I put it on with the roller there are micro air bubbles everywhere, you can roll it up and down 20 times and they won’t go. So a mixture of brush and roller, it looks ok, as it’s the roof, but you certainly wouldn’t want to paint the body with it. Maybe they stored it in a cold warehouse, just not great, I bought some water based gloss for the house and had the same problem, then bought the solvent one and that was thick and perfect to use. It’s like you want to leave the lid off for a few days for it to thicken a bit." He was not impressed with the ease of use and he has a lot of experience with paint and recommended this very paint for the job.

Reply from Rawlins Paints

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear the product didn’t meet expectations in this instance.

This roof coating is a solvent-based formulation specifically designed for application by brush, as stated on the product's data sheet, which is available from the product page. Brush application
avoids the micro-bubbling mentioned. Solvent-based products also naturally emit a strong odour during application and drying.

We appreciate the insight from your caravan specialist, and we understand how frustrating it can be when a product behaves differently than expected. For any future projects, we encourage customers to contact our technical support team before purchasing, especially when applying products to sensitive or specialist surfaces.

I trust that explains the issues mentioned in your review, but please do contact us if there's anything else we can do.

It went on well. The rest of the steam lorry was originally painted 25 years ago and that paint has faded a little but the match wasn't noticed by anyone.

Great product, easy use and coverage was very good. I'd definitely recommend this product. Delivery took a while, nearly 2 weeks, which dud seem a long time to me. Don't let that put you off though.

Very good paint with high opacity. Easy to brush apply but speed is still essential to avoid dragging on the leading edge. Very pleased with the finished paintwork. Colour was a perfect match with paint applied 5 years ago (not HMG coach enamel).
