Surface Preparation

Surfaces should be clean, dry, sound and free of any contamination that may interfere with adhesion.
Remove all loose or peeling paint and chalky paint residue.
Sand edges of any remaining paint film until smooth.
New concrete, masonry and other related surfaces must be cured at least 30 days before priming.
Remove all existing mould and mildew before painting.
To effectively remove mould and mildew, dirt and chalky paint residue, use Blackfriar Fungicidal Wash or Zinsser Mould Killer & Remover or an exterior house cleaner following the manufacturer’s instructions.
Timber at risk from decay or insect attack should be treated with an appropriate preservative.

Special precautions should be taken during surface preparation of pre-1960 paint surfaces as they may contain harmful lead. Avoid the inhalation of dust. Wear a suitable face mask if dry sanding.

Daniel parry on 2020-06-15 23:44:46	Question: Hi can this be applied to old upvc windows and doors with a Graco 9.5 hvlp sprayer and if so does it need to be diluted Thanks
	Answer: Assuming the aged UPVC is clean, dry and abraded prior to application we can recommend Zinsser Allcoat Exterior Waterbased. This can be applied by brush roller or airless spray only. This can be thinned if absolutely necessary (10% max with water). Usually it would need to be thinned more in order for it to pass through a HVLP, which is why we do not recommend it.

Dave Jones on 2020-06-04 07:27:48	Question: Hi, I would like to paint a garage door (steel) that has been previously painted with exterior gloss paint many years ago. Firstly, I would like to know if I need to use a primer in addition to rubbing down and cleaning with methylated spirits. Secondly our front door is Chartwell Green do you have a nearest colour match recommendation For that please.
	Answer: Assuming the previously painted steel door is clean, dry and abraded Zinsser Allcoat Exterior Waterbased can be applied directly. If any areas are back to bare steel we can recommend priming with Bulls Eye 1-2-3. Zinsser Allcoat is available in many RAL and BS colours, please see the colour chart on the product page so you can find an appropriate match.

Mellissa on 2020-05-29 08:47:47	Question: I'm using All Coat Exterior Satin (water based) on a previously gloss painted front door (blue) and a steel garage door (white). I want to prime the front door with a white undercoat, to ensure colour consistency with the garage. Do I need to use a water based primer?
	Answer: Assuming the door is clean, dry and sound we can recommend the use of Zinsser Bulls Eye 1-2-3, this is a compatible water based primer.

Michelle on 2020-05-25 21:50:32	Question: I have scraped off all old paint from a 40 year old galvanized garage door. After cleaning can I apply this paint straight on or do I need a primer? Many thanks
	Answer: Zinsser AllCoat Exterior Satin (Water Based) can go directly onto degreased galvanised steel with no primer coat required.

Mike on 2020-05-25 09:24:36	Question: I would like to repaint my metal garage door which has a powder coated finish, from white to grey. I've read your advice to abrade, use Bulls eye 123 primer and I will use All Coat Exterior satin. Would I be better to use the Solvent or Water based option? (The door is well exposed to the sun)
	Answer: Assuming the door is dry, sound and prepared as you stated above we can recommend the waterbased option for this application at this time of year. At temperatures down to approximately 5°C we recomend the solvent based option.

mark on 2020-05-17 11:57:03	Question: I would like to respray our naff brown upvc windows and door. I assume spraying would give a better finish and have looked to get an electric paint sprayer. I wondered if this will need diluting and if so, by how much and using what? White spirit or water? Thanks
	Answer: Assuming the UPVC is aged, clean, dry and sound this product would be perfect for this application. This paint does not require thinning for use with an airless sprayer and can also be applied with a brush or roller.

Katie on 2020-05-13 21:08:09	Question: Hi, can this paint be used to paint a composite door? Thanks.
	Answer: Zinsser Allcoat Exterior Satin WB has not been specifically tested for use on composite doors but we do recommend it use on suitably prepared uPVC.

Anna on 2020-04-30 11:41:55	Question: Can I use All Coat exterior satin on terracotta pots?

Naomi on 2020-04-21 16:30:15	Question: I currently have a bright red upvc door and would like to paint it black, can I just paint this straight onto it or would you suggest an undercoat first?
	Answer: Zinsser Allcoat Exterior Satin (Water Based) is self priming on aged, clean uPVC and does not require an undercoat.

Chris mulligan on 2020-04-18 12:40:22	Question: Hi. Do you do sample pots. If so where can I get them from?
	Answer: We do not have sample pots the smallest quantity available is a 1ltr tin.

Alan Fielding on 2020-02-04 15:57:52	Question: Hi, Would Zinsser AllCoat Exterior Satin (Water Based) be suitable for use on an up and over steel garage door 12’ wide and subject to full hot sunlight in the afternoon causing expansion? Is this an acrylic-laytex paint? Regards Alan
	Answer: Providing you are looking to apply the AllCoat Exterior Satin Water Based to galvanised steel, then two coats may be applied by brush or roller at a coverage rate of approximately 10m2/litre/coat directly onto the bare surface. If this is ferrous steel, then a red oxide or zinc phosphate primer will need to be applied prior to using the AllCoat Exterior Satin. The paint should be applied when the air and substrate temperature is 10°C and rising, relative humidity less than 80%. Ensure there is no risk or rain, fog, frost or condensation from affecting the applied paint before it has had a chance to fully cure. We recommend to ensure the surface to be painted is clean, dry, sound and free from any surface contamination such as dirt, oils, grease, mould, mildew, rust, loose or flaking paint etc that are likely to affect the performance of any subsequent coats of paint; to ensure this we advise the following prior to painting, clean down with hot soapy water, rinse with warm water and when dry have a good wipe over with methylated spirits to promote good adhesion.

Ken Marshall on 2019-12-29 17:36:01	Question: Can you lst the products l will need to spray upvc windows and front doors please. Once l get this l am ready to advertise and get up and running. Regards Ken.
	Answer: Zinsser Allcoat Exterior Sain (Water Based) can be applied directly to weathered uPVC once it is clean and dry. You can give the uPVC a light abrasion if you wish but it is not usually required.

Fabio on 2019-11-12 12:37:10	Question: Hi This says exterior but would it work well for interior uPVC windows frames and sils? And can you colour match Dulux paints? Thanks
