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 residue. Sand edges of any remaining paint film until smooth. Ensure the moisture content of the substrate is a maximum of 12% prior to painting. Special precautions should be taken during surface preparation of pre-1960 paint surface 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 painting. 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.
Previously painted surfaces: Apply two coats of Zinsser AllCoat Exterior Gloss (Solvent Based). Very hard or glossy surfaces should be abraded and degreased before applying 2 coats of Zinsser AllCoat Exterior Gloss (Solvent Based).
New or Bare Surfaces: Concrete, masonry, brick, uPVC and metal (iron, steel, aluminium, galvanized) apply a suitable primer such as Zinsser Bulls Eye 1-2-3 to the suitably prepared surface before application of Zinsser AllCoat Exterior Gloss (Solvent Based).
Wood: Apply a suitable primer such as Zinsser Cover Stain. Before painting, fill all nail holes and gouges. Where necessary, spot prime knots and sap streaks with Zinsser B-I-N.
Cladding: Plastisol should be weathered and suitably prepared to ensure it is clean, dry and free from surface contamination such as mould, dirt etc prior to applying 2 coats of AllCoat Exterior Gloss (Solvent Based).

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. Apply when air and surface temperatures are between 5°-32°C and humidity is less than 85%. Avoid painting in direct sunlight and maintain a “wet edge” to avoid lapping. Do not apply if temperature is likely to fall below 5°C during the drying time.
