The Benefits
Unprotected lead can cause harm if left unsealed – Zinsser products quickly seal lead surfaces, priming for decoration with Zinsser Perma-White Interior or Zinsser AllCoat Exterior Satin/Gloss in 4,000+ RAL, NCS and BS colours.
Zinsser listens to contactors and develops new products – or adds features to existing products – to meet their changing needs, delivering world class products that meet “real world” challenges, providing tried and tested solutions to painting problems, such as painting lead.
Step 1. Surface Preparation
The lead surface must be clean and dry, free from anything that could affect or interfere with the adhesion and application of the materials to be applied.
Remove all visible signs of organic growth, treating the area with Zinsser Mould Killer & Remover in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and allowing to dry.
