To get the best results, ensure surfaces to be painted are sound, clean and dry (new surfaces particularly must be fully dry), and free from all defective or poorly adhering material, dirt, grease and chalky residue. Sand all edges of remaining coating until smooth.

Previously Painted Surfaces

1. Special precautions should be taken during surface preparation of pre-1960s paint surfaces over wood and metal as they may contain harmful lead
2. Remove and treat any mould and mildew on exterior surfaces using Zinsser Mould Killer and Remover
3. Timber surfaces at risk of decay or insect infestation should be treated with an appropriate Wood Preservative before coating
4. Extremely hard or glossy surfaces will need to be sanded and degreased before paint application

Bare or New Surfaces

1. Fill any cracks and nail holes in wood surfaces using an appropriate wood filler
2. Spot prime any knots and resin streaks using Zinsser B-I-N or Zinsser Cover Stain for resinous woods, such as cedar and redwood
3. Surfaces such as concrete and masonry must be fully cured for at least 30 days before coating

Always do a test area before starting any project to assess product suitability and final finish. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the tin at all times.

Only apply at temperatures ranging between 10°C and 32°C and a relative humidity of no more than 85%.

1. Stir thoroughly before and periodically during use
2. Apply evenly and consistently, to maintain a 'wet edge', using a good quality synthetic bristle brush, microfibre roller or low pressure spray gun (Use tip size 0.017 at pressure 2000 - 2500 psi)
3. It is recommended that 2 coats of Zinsser AllCoat Exterior are applied, with additional coats to areas of high exposure, such as sills and fascia boards
4. Allow to fully dry for 1 hour between coats

Cleaning Equipment

Clean brushes, rollers and any spillages immediately after use, using warm soapy water.

This will not offer the best durability for those areas. Instead, consider Dulux Quick Dry Gloss as a better performing product for the job.

Yes absolutely, Zinsser AllCoat is a multi-surface paint and suitable for a wide range of projects.
