Zinsser AllCoat Exterior Water Based Matt - Tinted Colours

Zinsser AllCoat Exterior Matt, tinted to the colour you choose. This water-based, self-priming paint is made for the long-term decoration of timber, metal, masonry, plastic, concrete and cladding, drying to a vapour-permeable, low-maintenance, water-shedding matt coating.

It bonds to existing glossy paint without sanding, so for most jobs there is no need for a separate primer: the first coat primes and seals, and the second completes the seal and adds moisture resistance.

Key features

• Self-priming – bonds to existing glossy paints without sanding
• Excellent resistance to cracking, blistering and flaking, and to rain and severe weather

• Recoatable in 1 hour
