It was simply not suitable for use on fiber cement boards.
HOW TO APPLY CEDRAL® TOUCH UP PAINT?
Touch up paint is supplied in small 500ml cans. Thoroughly mix the can of paint to properly blend all the pigments and binders. Never thin the paint.
Mixing method
Load your brush with just enough paint to cover the touch-up area. Start in the middle of the touch-up spot and work your way out to the edges.
Apply the paint as evenly as possible. Use light layers to evenly coat the scratch. Before you begin painting, the board needs to be free of dirt and other blemishes that can prevent the paint from adhering to the plank.
You will have to find a matching paint with the same color and sheen. You can find a matching paint with us.
Tip
Do not paint too far past the scratch you’re touching up. Test a small area for color matching before proceeding.

ARE CEDRAL® BOARDS COLOURED THROU?
No, they're not coloured throu. As you would expect from fibre cement boards Cedral panels are made of cement, cellulose, sand, synthetic fibres although any additional paint pigment could only weaken its structure.
USE ONLY CEDRAL® TOUCH UP PAINT

WHEN CAN CEDRAL® PAINT NOT BE USED?
The manufacturer does not recommend using this paint for large-area applications. For instance, we can not use it in situations where we want to repaint either external or internal corners in a different color. It is not a good idea. Especially if we would have to disassemble the entire wall later. It's simply not worth it, for the sake of £35 pounds.
WHAT COLOR CEDRAL® TOUCH UP PAINT COMES WITH?
The Cedral Touch Up paint is available in all 21 standard painted finishes and also the 2 wood stain finishes.
DO I NEED JUST ONE TIN FOR THE WHOLE PROJECT?
In 95% cases yes, however if you are not careful during installation you may need to buy a second tin.
