Surface Preparation

Surfaces must be clean, sound and free of dirt, dust, grease, wax, loose paint or other surface contamination. Remove all existing mould and mildew before painting.

To effectively remove mould and mildew, use Blackfriar Fungicidal Wash. Timber at risk from decay or insect attack should be treated with Blackfriar Exterior Wood Preservative Gold Star Clear.

Very hard or glossy previously painted surfaces should be abraded and degreased. Before painting, fill all nail holes and gouges. Where necessary, spot prime knots and sap streaks with Zinsser B-I-N Primer-Sealer.

Abrade & degrease unweathered plastisol & powder coatings.

Allow new plaster/cement & stucco to cure 60-90 days before coating.

Thoroughly degrease new galvanised steel.

questions Steve Gilmore on 2022-05-15 23:26:36
Question: 

Hi Technical; Reference Zinsser AllCoat exterior Could you advise please is this paint suitable for painting fibreglass utility boxes, the sort you would typically find semi recessed into the wall of a new house? What if any prep would you recommend, i.e. do I need to key the surfaces with for example wire wool and finally do I need to apply some sort of primer to promote better adhesion. Thank you for technical and valued assistance.
Answer: 

Assuming the fibreglass box is clean, dry, sound and prepared as detailed in the technical data sheet this can be used.

The area should be sanded and degreased prior to application and two coats are recommended.
questions Julia on 2022-03-25 09:18:42
Question: 

I want to paint our UPVc door door to match our new windows. How much of a sample do you need to be ableto colour match? I only have a very small piece of material left over , about 2cm x 1cm,.
Answer: 

Unfortunately we cannot colour match a sample, we would recommend viewing a physical RAL, NCS or BS colour chart to find a suitable match.

Assuming the UPVC doors are clean, dry, sound and prepared as detailed in the technical data sheet we can recommend the Kolorbond uPVC Painting Kits for this application.

This can be mixed to many RAL, NCS and BS colours in a satin finish.

Question: 

I want to paint a corrugated fibre concrete garage roof which has never been painted before (approx 30 years old) but has been regularly treated against mould, etc. After cleaning, etc, which under coat and top coat products would you recommend?
Answer: 

Assuming the fibre concrete roof is clean, dry, sound and prepared as detailed in the technical data sheet we can recommend Eagle Bitumen Primer followed by Eagle DoubleCoat Pro-Reflect Liquid Waterproofing for the external face of the roof.

This is available in an aluminium finish.
questions Mark on 2021-11-01 14:47:14
Question: 

Hello, We have two garage doors that need painting. We think they are made of a fibreglass type material. We would like to use Zinsser Allcoat exterior but should we use water or solvent based. We will be doing the work in November. Just want to make sure I’m using the right product before we buy. Many thanks Mark
Answer: 

Assuming the garage doors are fibreglass or grp, they are clean, dry, sound and prepared as detailed in the technical data sheet Zinsser Allcoat Exterior can be used.

With application taking place in november we would recommend the solvent based option, but the air and substrate temperature must be over 5°C during application and curing.
questions Mike Sharp  on 2021-10-10 22:10:59
Question: 

My building has layers of lead paint and has then been painted with acrylic paint, with horrible results It has been suggested I use a zimsser paint to seal in the lead after sanding back the acrylic (with great care of course) What product would you suggest? Thank you
Answer: 

We would recommend testing for compatibility and adhesion prior to full application on any previously applied coatings.

Any previously applied paints must be sound and prepared prior to application.

We would suggest Zinsser Bulls Eye 1-2-3 can be used prior to application as a primer sealer, then Zinsser Allcoat Exterior Water Based as this will be less likely to react with previously applied paints.
questions Mrs dawson on 2021-10-04 09:53:03
Question: 

A tin. Of this paint has been knocked over on the artificial grass can you tell me how to remove it
Answer: 

Drips or spills can be cleaned up when the paint is still wet with white spirits.

If the paint has dried Zinsser Brush Cleaner & Restorer can be used on application equipment.

We would recommend either checking with the manufacturer of the artifical grass if either of these will damage the grass or testing on a small area prior to full application.

Question: 

i would like to paint our aluminium powder coated windows and hard wood frames. please could you advise most suitable primer and top coat for both surfaces. Was thinking of allcoat satin solvent base and a primer. Advice gratly appreciated.
Answer: 

Assuming the powder coating is polyester, it is clean, dry, sound and prepared as detailed in the technical data sheet we would recommend Zinsser Bulls Eye 1-2-3 followed by Zinsser Allcoat Exterior Waterbased. For the timber, assuming it is bare, we would recommend priming first with Zinsser Cover Stain.
questions Kate on 2021-07-28 16:06:06
Question: 

Hi there, I am looking to paint our front wall. It appears to be a concrete with small stone aggregate. I was looking at: Zinsser AllCoat Exterior Satin (Water Based) or Wethertex AP77 Flexible Smooth Masonry Paint. Are these right for concrete walls? And will I need additional paints i.e. primers etc.? Thanks, Kate
Answer: 

Assuming the wall is a bare cement based render, it is clean, dry, sound and prepared as detailed in the technical data sheet either of those products could be used.

We would recommend priming first with Wethertex ST1 Quick Dry Stabilising Primer if you are using Wethertex AP77 Flexible Smooth Masonry Paint.

Question: 

I have Larch cladding at the exposed south facing rear of my property in central Scotland. This has been protected with Tikkurila Valti semi transparent wood finish but is weathering fast. I would like to refurbish with Zinsser All Coat Exterior satin paint. Should I use solvent or water base and what prep / priming do you advise ?
Answer: 

Assuming the previously painted timber is clean, dry, sound and prepared as detailed in the technical data sheet Zinsser Allcoat could be used.

Any bare areas of timber should be primed with Zinsser Cover Stain.

We would recommend using the waterbased option and to test for compatibility and adhesion on previously applied paints.

Hello, I would like to pain the inside of the UPVC window frames in our house. I see there are plenty of suitable products for exterior use, but which would be the best for interior application ? or is it simply a case of using one of the exterior products inside ?

Question: 

Hello, I want to paint some newly fabricated mild steel fence panels that will be placed in an exposed area in a city centre, after cleaning up the panels can i just use the one coat or would you recommend a primer too? i would like a surface that is as hard wearing as possible.
Answer: 

Assuming the mild steel panels are clean, dry, sound and prepared as detailed in the Technical Data Sheet we can recommend Rust-Oleum 3369/3380 CombiPrimer Anti-Corrosion followed by two coats of Rust-Oleum CombiColor Original.

This can be mixed to many RAL and BS colours in a satin or gloss finish.

Question: 

Would this be suitable for painting a garden pergola? I was recommended to use oil/solvent based paint but I'm struggling to find any and this is the only brand I've come across. Thank you
Answer: 

Assuming the timber is bare, clean, dry, sound and prepared as detailed in the Technical Data sheet this product would be suitable for that application apart from on the roof.

We would recommend priming first with Zinsser Cover Stain.
questions Mark Jardine on 2021-02-04 22:52:50
Question: 

1) does the solvent based allcoat satin allow wood to breathe? ie will it allow water vapour to escape? 2) Have you any experience of customers using this finish on boats? I know that it is not suitable for an immersed surface, but what about regularly splashed bulwarks on a working boat? the paint would be getting applied in colder conditions so iassume the water based version is unsuitable from your information.
Answer: 

The paint is not breathable and would not allow water vapour to escape.

This product is designed as a decorative paint and the environment you are looking to use it in would greatly reduce the longevity.

For this application assuming the timber is bare, clean, dry, sound and prepared as detailed in the Technical Data Sheet we would recommend Teamac High Performance 2 Pack Zinc Phosphate Primer followed by Teamac High Performance Polyurethane Topcoat.

This is also not breathable.
questions Joanne on 2020-07-07 16:51:37
Question: 

Hi, what paint would you recommend for painting wooden decking/walkway? Solvent or water based? Thank you.

questions Kevin Webb on 2020-04-20 09:16:21
Question: 

Hi is this ok for a garage door ?
Answer: 

Assuming the door is previously coated and in sound condition then yes. Unless the ambient temperature during application is under 10°c we would usualy recommend the water based version, Zinsser AllCoat Exterior Satin (Water Based).

Question: 

What would you recommend for re-painting a fibreglass outdoor sculpture when the previous paint is flaking off? Some areas are bare fibreglass now
Answer: 

Zinsser AllCoat Exterior Satin (Water Based) would be fine for the this. (There is a chance the solvents in the solvent based grade could attack the old paint coating).

Rub down to remove the loose flaking paint back to a sound surface, wash thoroughly to remove all dirt etc. then apply 2 coats of Zinsser AllCoat Exterior Satin (Water Based) in your chosen colour.
questions Adam on 2019-04-06 14:58:35
Question: 

Hi, hope you are having a good day. Would Zinsser AllCoat Exterior Satin (Solvent Based), be the best product for a window sill which has plant pots which are occasionally moist/ damp , the water based paint keeps peeling in rings. Looking for the best waterproof, scratch resistant product? Many thanks
Answer: 

We would recommend applying something more durable than a single pack for your application in way of Rust-O-Thane 9200 Handy Pack
questions Peter on 2019-03-29 06:35:00
Question: 

Hello, What paint product would work best on old wooden windows, subjected to harsh weathering ie. direct sun/directional rain? Some areas are back to bare wood, some of which is resinous. There are areas of existing sound paint to be overcoated. Many thanks.
Answer: 

Zinsser AllCoat Exterior Water Based or Solvent Based could be used here. After preparation, prime bare areas of timber with Zinsser Cover Stain. Existing paint should be sound and well adhered, remove anything loose and flaking, clean thoroughly and abrade to provide a key. Then apply 2-3 coats as required of either AllCoat Exterior product in the desired colour and finish.
questions Annabel on 2019-02-25 21:24:35
Question: 

I am repainting our porch, which is a mixture of timber and metal window frames (no door). Would you recommend the water based or solvent based Zinsser all coat exterior satin?
Answer: 

If painting is to be done when temperatures are low, i.e. below 10°C then the solvent grade must be used. If it is warmer than 10°C then the water based version can be used. Note that the water based product is easier to apply and is Zinsser's preferred product so if you hold on until spring this would be the better option.
questions Russell on 2019-02-20 14:16:57
Question: 

Hi I want to paint our Composite front door Black Satin. I’ve chosen the All Coat Exterior Satin Solvent based. Would this be the correct paint. Something tells me no. Many thanks..

Question: 

Not sure if question already sent. Want to change 8 upvc interior windows + 1 french door in our conservatory from brown to satin white, would appreciate any advise, plan to spray. Regards JohnRoss
Answer: 

What you plan to do is fine but where possible we recommend using Zinsser AllCoat Exterior Satin (Water Based) instead due to better performance/application directly onto uPVC.
questions Mike Moran on 2019-01-17 21:33:05
Question: 

I want to date my UPVC white window frames, probably dark grey/black. Your helpful website suggests Zinisser Exterior wAter based,2 coats applied in summer.Correct ? if we did it with first coat gloss and then preferred sAtin, Could we just use satin for the second coat or would it still need 2 coats satin ? Would 3 coats last longer ? Some high windows and don’t want to re scaffold-prefer to ensure it lasts. Any good feedback for this paint on UPVC window frames please ? Thanks a lot. Mike
Answer: 

We would always suggest the water based grade of Zinsser AllCoat Exterior where possible for uPVC. If you use the gloss for the first coat and decide you prefer satin, the water based satin can be applied over the gloss. 2 coats will give a good level of performance on vertical surfaces, any horizontal surfaces could be given 3 coats to give the best level of performance.
questions Phil on 2018-12-15 15:29:50
Question: 

What system do you recommend for painting exterior timber window frames; currently painted with sound solvent-based gloss? I've read conflicting opinions on whether solvent or water based allcoat should be used, both requiring or not requiring 123 primer to ensure adhesion to the glass.
Answer: 

If you have to do the job during winter then Zinsser AllCoat Exterior (Solvent Based) must be used. If you can wait until warmer weather then Zinsser AllCoat Exterior (Water Based) would be suitable (this would be the preferred option as the timber will be drier). When using the Zinsser AllCoat Exterior (Water Based) prime surfaces first with Zinsser Cover Stain to get adhesion to glass, this is the best primer in our range for glass. If using the Zinsser AllCoat Exterior (Solvent Based), do not prime with Zinsser Cover Stain, the solvent grade of AllCoat Exterior will adhere reasonably well to the glass on its own. Just make sure the timber is completely dry before painting.
questions Gaz on 2018-08-11 08:53:42
Question: 

Currently have a uPVC composite door in a deep red colour. We are looking to paint this grey, would zinsser allcoat product be suitable and if so would solvent version be recommended over water based version. Finally would I need to use a coat of bullseye 123 primer first or is the allcoat product self priming? Many thanks
Answer: 

We would instead recommend the Zinsser AllCoat Exterior (Water Based) for this. It is self priming onto this type of surface, 2-3 coats in a grey colour should cover a dark red door.
questions Lesley Adshead on 2018-08-10 14:05:38
Question: 

Hi I am wanting to spruce up my aluminium framed greenhouse and want to find a suitable primer and paint in a grey shade to go with the rest of my newly refurbished garden colour scheme. Can you please advise me which product will be best to be used, as it all seems to be a little contradictory on different sites. Am I right in thinking after the frame work has been cleaned down - and dry to use an etch primer to ensure it adheres to the aluminium - then what paint would I need to use as a top coat ? Any help or advice you can give me will be greatly appreciated. Kind regards Lesley Adshead.
Answer: 

We would instead recommend the Zinsser AllCoat Exterior (Water Based) for this. It is easier to use than the solvent grade and gives the same level of performance. An etch primer is not required, the AllCoat will stick well on its own.

Question: 

I want to a smooth Shiplap shed& upvc windows & doors dark grey? Slate grey what do I use?? And where are you based?? Leeds? If so I'm not too far away to collect Regards Neil
Answer: 

One of the Zinsser AllCoat Exterior products would be an excellent choice to paint both of these substrates but we would recommend one of the water based finishes in the summer months rather than the solvent based. We are based in Leeds and have a Trade Counter you can collect from at LS11 9NF.
questions Heather Pierpoint  on 2018-04-09 09:53:01
Question: 

I need to paint exterior windows and doors that are currently painted in a hard finished stain/varnish. The wood is in excellent condition, as is the finish. Which products would you recommend? Do I need to prime with Coverstain first. I is subject to the elements because of the location of the property.
Answer: 

We would recommend priming first with Zinsser Cover Stain, make sure the timber is dry especially sills which can pick up moisture if the existing coating has cracked (moisture level must be below 12%).

One of the Zinsser AllCoat Exterior (Water Based) range would be our preference for the top coat as they are easier to work with and just as high level of performance.
questions Judy Conway on 2018-03-16 19:05:44
Question: 

Can this product be mixed to any colour I require? We have a wooden chalet right on the coast and it is subject to being battered by the wind and rain, salt and extreme sun. Will this product withstand these conditions? I am hoping to get the chalet repainted again due to the front cracking and fading. your product is solvent based is that the same as an oil based paint? My decorator does not think that a water based paint would withstand the conditions that are thrown at the chalet. I look forward to your feedback.
Answer: 

The Water Based Zinsser AllCoat Exterior range will give a better level of performance in this environment, it is more flexible than the solvent based product meaning it will move with the expansion and contraction of the timber without cracking. Provided the surface is thoroughly prepared and the timber is completely dry the product will give a very good level of performance in these conditions. Please note the Satin and Gloss Zinsser AllCoat Exterior (Water Based) versions will have slightly higher performance than the matt for this situation, i.e. exterior timber, the matt is designed more for masonry surfaces.

All products can be mixed to any RAL, BS and NCS colour by us and many more if you require a specific colour matching.
questions Leah on 2018-02-12 17:19:52
Question: 

I would like to paint a upvc front door with this. Would I need to do anything tp the door before usinv this paint.
Answer: 

We would recommend you use the water based Zinsser AllCoat Exterior products for this application. AllCoat Exterior water based products can be applied directly to these items with no primer required. If any areas are new uPVC new we would advise abrading the surfaces with a fine grade of sandpaper followed by a solvent wipe using methylated spirits. Then apply 2 coats of the AllCoat Exterior water based when weather permits.

Application by spray should be done with airless spray, use tip 0.13 - 0.017 at pressure 1800 – 2400 psi. There is nothing you can add to speed up the drying, it is best to apply 2 thin coats as these will dry much quicker than a heavy coating.

Zinsser AllCoat Exterior Satin (Solvent Based) is designed specifically for use in cooler conditions so it will dry OK even at lower temperatures.

Note: You can only use liquid driers in solvent based alkyd paints, Zinsser AllCoat Exterior Satin (Solvent Based) is not an alkyd formula, therefore driers would not be compatible.

Question: 

Would I need to use a primer with this paint? I am using it for pvc windows, door and pvc cladding. Many thanks
Answer: 

We would recommend you use the water based Zinsser AllCoat Exterior products for this application. AllCoat Exterior water based products can be applied directly to these items with no primer required. If any areas are new uPVC new we would advise abrading the surfaces with a fine grade of sandpaper followed by a solvent wipe using methylated spirits. Then apply 2 coats of the AllCoat Exterior water based.

Question: Would this be suitable for use on mdf wall panelling in the bathroom? The area does get wet occasionally.
Answer: 

Zinsser AllCoat Exterior Satin (Solvent Based) wouldn't be suitable for this application. Instead we would recommend 1 coat of Zinsser Bulls Eye 1-2-3 followed by 2 coats of Zinsser Perma-White Interior.
