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 a proper fungicidal wash or exterior house cleaner following the manufacturer’s instructions
Timber at risk from decay or insect attack should be treated with an appropriate preservative
Bare galvanised metal: apply direct to clean, bright metal, no primer required, ensure surface is clean, dry and free from any surface contamination
Bare Ferrous Metal: product contains a flash rust inhibitor so will not rust the bare metal on application, can be applied direct if the metal is completely rust free, if this is unlikely apply a dedicated anti-corrosive metal primer such as Rust-Oleum 3369/3380 CombiPrimer Anti-Corrosion prior to application of AllCoat Exterior Water Based
Note: AllCoat Exterior Water Based is not anti-corrosive, it acts as a barrier to water reaching the surface and rusting the metal.
Two-Coat System
ALLCOAT® Exterior Matt is self-priming and will adhere to most sound surface. It bonds to existing glossy paints without sanding
The first coat of ALLCOAT® Exterior Matt primes and seals the surface, providing a base for the topcoat. The topcoat completes the sealing process while providing additional moisture resistance and protection
For new or unpainted cedar, redwood, or other resinous timbers prime with Zinsser Cover Stain
Application Methods
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
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
Application Conditions
Ensure air and surface temperature are between 10°C & 32°C and humidity is less than 85% during application and cure of the product

Question:
We have an old property that needs to breath, reading the data information it looks like this paint is waterproof but vapour permeable therefore allowing trapped moisture to escape. Can you please confirm this before I order. Also some areas have flaking paint which I will remove first. Do I need to prime these first and is so what with that will enable it to still breath. Thanks
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team:
This product does state it is vapour permable, we would need to know more information regarding the substrate to ascertain what primers may be required or if another product would be better suited to you application.
Hi..can you advise if this product is suitable for painting stables and is safe for animals? Also do you do colour samples? Am struggling to choose

Question:
Zinsser All Coat Exterior Satin Finish. We need to paint the pipework to the front of the house. Mixture of old light grey painted cast iron, old (and grungy) light grey unpainted UPVC and new white unpainted UPVC. Decided on RAL 160 20 05 Beryl Black Green. I saw from previous questions/answers that Satin sheds dirt easier than Matt. My question: What preparation would we need before applying the Zinsser? Thank you.
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team:
Assuming all the substrates are clean, dry, sound and prepared as detailed in the technical data sheet Zinsser Allcoat Exterior can be used.
We would recommend testing for compatibility and adhesion on any previously applied paint.
All substrates must be thoroughly cleaned, degreased and lightly sanded prior to application.

Question:
I have used this paint on a box trailer built with exterior plywood. Within 3 months dry summer it was flaking off and 'melted' the exterior sealant. I sanded and repainted it and re-did the seals. Six months and into winter it flaked off even more, again reacted with another brand of exterior sealant (Sikaflex) and also had black mould growing on an area. It also reacted with exterior sealants (this time Sikaflex). I am now having to repeat an entire project a third time in less than a year. Is this a bad batch? As it has done nothing it says it does, it is the worst paint I have ever used.
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team:
We are sorry to hear of the issues you have had with the paint we have contacted you directly for more information to look into this for you.

Question:
I'm going to painting my house and the external is finished in timber, can i use Zinsser AllCoat Exterior Matt (Water Based) paint. The previous owners use butinox paint which was oil base can i use the Zinsser straight on or do you advise to sand the timber 1st
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team:
Zinsser AllCoat Exterior Matt (Water Based) is ideal for application to previously painted timber.
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.
Zinsser AllCoat Exterior Matt (Water Based) is self-priming and will adhere to most sound surface. It bonds to existing glossy paints without sanding. The first coat primes and seals the surface, providing a base for the topcoat.

Question:
I am looking at painting external tiles on the front of our house. would it be recommended to use the Matte or Satin finish for best longevity
I am looking to paint a galvanised garage door (currently in white gloss) and upvc front door (in white) with your Allcoat exterior Matt (water based), would this product do both surfaces and do you recommend an undercoat product. Thanks
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team:
Zinsser AllCoat Exterior Matt (Water Based) is more intended for masonry surfaces, it will not adhere as well to these surfaces as Zinsser AllCoat Exterior Satin (Water Based), it will also pick up dirt a little easier around the door handles etc. We would suggest you consider the satin which can go onto both surfaces with no primer required. Surfaces must be clean and lightly abraded. Apply 2 coats of the Satin Water based.
