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.

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.

Zinsser AllCoat Exterior Satin (Water Based) is our preferred choice for uPVC, for more details on painting uPVC you can read our blog post How to Paint uPVC Windows and Doors.

Yes, please post a sample of the colour you want matching to;

Rawlins Paints, FAO Technical Team, Northspeed House, Moorview, Holbeck, Leeds, LS11 9NF.

Alternatively if you know the colour code for the colour but it is not listed on our website for this product give us a call as we may already have a match.

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.

We would recommend applying something more durable than a single pack for your application in way of Rust-O-Thane 9200 Handy Pack

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.

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.

Where possible we would instead recommend the use of Zinsser AllCoat Exterior Satin (Water Based).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Yes, simply click on 'Select a different colour' on the product page and this will pop up the full RAL colour range to choose from that you can order online. Please note we cannot offer fluorescent or metallic RAL shades in this product.

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.

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.

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.

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.

We would recommend 1 coat of Zinsser Cover Stain followed by 2 coats of Zinsser AllCoat Exterior Satin (Water Based).

No, after this preparation you should just be able to apply the Zinsser AllCoat Exterior Satin (Solvent Based) directly.
