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. 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. 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 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.

2 Coat System

Zinsser AllCoat Exterior Satin (Water Based) is self-priming and will adhere to most sound surfaces. It bonds to existing glossy paints without sanding. The first coat of Zinsser AllCoat Exterior Satin (Water Based) primes and seals the surface, providing a base for the topcoat. The topcoat completes the sealing process while providing additional moisture resistance and protection. Before painting, fill all nail holes and gouges. Where necessary, spot prime knots and sap streaks with Zinsser B-I-N. For new or unpainted cedar, redwood, or other resinous timbers prime with Zinsser Cover Stain.

Application

Shake or stir well before using. Apply with synthetic bristle brush, roller or sprayer. For airless spraying, use a .017” tip and high-medium (2000-2500 PSI) pressure. Ensure air and surface temperature are between 10 & 32°C and humidity is less than 85% during application and cure of the product. Avoid painting in direct sunlight and maintain a “wet edge” to avoid lapping. Ensure conditions during application and cure are favourable, do not apply if there is a likelihood of rain, frost, fog or condensation affecting the freshly applied paint before it has fully cured.

Drying Time

At normal temperatures i.e. 20°C and 60% RH, Zinsser AllCoat Exterior Satin (Water Based) dries to recoat in 1 hour and will be hard dry after 4 hours. Full adhesion and hardness develop in 7 days.

Colour Range

Zinsser AllCoat Exterior Satin (Water Based) is available in a full range of BS4800, RAL and NCS colours. Multiple containers of tinted paint should be intermixed (boxed) to ensure colour uniformity.

Coverage

Up to 12m² per litre on non-porous surfaces. On porous surfaces coverage will be reduced e.g. sawn timber - 4-8m² per litre. Planed timber - 8-12m² per litre. Normal application is 2 coats, however an additional coat should be applied to areas of high exposure such as sills and fascia boards.

Cleanup

Clean application tools, spatters and spills immediately with warm water and liquid detergent; rinse with water. Dried paint on brushes can be removed with Zinsser B-I-N Brush Cleaner & Restorer. Follow equipment manufacturer’s directions to clean spray equipment. Remove dried product with a household cleaner such as Zinsser Universal Cleaner & Degreaser, rinse with water.

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.

David on 2019-07-04 05:11:57	Question: Hello, I've just bought zinnser all coat satin in anthracite to paint garage door and uPVC front door. Original plan was to use roller and brush but I have a hvlp sprayer, can I use this and would I need to add a small amount of water to the paint or would this have a negative affect?

The glazing putty will be on the exterior. The panels are to be shot blasted and spray primed with Rustoleum 1080. Followed by 2 coats of Rustoleum Satin Combi colour.
	Answer: Normally we would recommend Zinsser Cover Stain to prime linseed oil putty, it should also be fine over the acrylic putty however both should be allowed to dry sufficiently before painting.

Yohanna on 2019-04-26 14:59:12	Question: Hi, I need to paint an exterior aluminium roof fascia that was spot spray painted by the builder and now the spray painted areas are fading. Can I use All Coat anthracite grey to paint the whole fascia with a roller? Some of the fascia has silicone where it overlaps, can I simply paint over that with All Coat? Thanks.
	Answer: Zinsser AllCoat Exterior Satin (Water Based) will not bond to silicone, this would need to be removed, the surface then cleaned to remove traces of silicone. Zinsser AllCoat Exterior Satin (Water Based) will take to the previously painted fascia. The gaps can be resealed after painting with a suitable sealant.

MTW on 2018-08-18 10:55:02	Question: Would this paint be suitable (flexible enough) for a rolling garage door (weathered plastisol/ metal?)

Simon on 2018-07-30 13:05:30	Question: At our premises of artists' studios, can we use 'Zinsser Allcoat Exterior - Satin' (colour mixed to a RAL ref) for interior surfaces also? ie for toilet walls on top of melamine primed with 'Zinsser Bulls Eye 123 Plus'. Concerned about Fire Regs.
	Answer: Zinsser have not carried out fire tests on melamine with any of their products so can’t offer any product which would meet a class 1 or 0 fire spec on this substrate. Envirograf offer the following system for melamine that would achieve BS Class 0 Surface Spread of Flame. 1 coat of Envirograf ES/VFR Primer applied at 12m² per litre 2 coats of Envirograf ES/VFR White Fire Protection Coating applied at 12m² per litre/per coat 1 coat of Envirograf HW Excel Top Coat (Any RAL colour and Satin or Gloss finish) applied at 12m² per litre

	Answer: We would recommend checking with Cuprinol to make sure the Ducks Back product can be overpainted, if it has weathered for 3 years it may be OK but some of these types of products contain waxes which will affect adhesion of subsequent paint coatings. Provided there is minimal wax content then Zinsser AllCoat Exterior Satin (Water Based) can be used.

Mike on 2017-10-17 16:52:55	Question: Hi, I've just painted my exterior door in Sandtex 10 year Exterior gloss paint but I'm not happy with the results, even after applying a primer and two coats of gloss. Could I paint over this gloss paint with your satin exterior paint without keying and applying an undercoat? Also, do you offer a Sage colour?
	Answer: Zinsser AllCoat Exterior Satin will be OK for this, however as we are heading towards cooler weather however it may be advisable to go for the Solvent Grade. Drying conditions will be poorer at this time of year which will affect the drying of the water based AllCoat. This is likely to cause issues if the coating gets caught in a shower of rain before it has fully cured. The AllCoat can go on directly without sanding or priming provided the surface is clean, existing coating is sound etc. 2 coats should be sufficient provided the colour of the Sandtex Gloss and the sage green you require is similar.

The first coat of Zinsser AllCoat Exterior Satin primes and seals the surface, providing a base for the second coat. The second and third coats (if required) complete the sealing process while providing additional moisture resistance and protection. Before painting, fill all nail holes and gouges with a proprietary filler. Where necessary, spot prime knots and sap streaks with Zinsser B-I-N.
