Key Features

They help protect building materials from moisture penetration and environmental damage, extending the life of the surface. Available in various finishes and colours, exterior paint enhances a building’s appearance while delivering long-term protection. Common substrates include concrete, brick, render, timber, metal, and masonry.

Surface Preparation
Use our Primer if you are painting over bare plasterboard, masonry, render, cement sheet, brick, MDF, and interior timber.
Remove all dirt, dust, and grease from the bare surface. If some mould or fungus is present on the surface, wash it with a commercially available bleaching agent and then treat with antifungal solution.
Fill cracks and imperfections with a suitable filler and spot prime.
All previously painted surfaces should be sanded to remove loose/flaking paint and to reduce the previous film to a flat finish.
Application
Brush, Roller, or Spray. Stir the contents thoroughly before and during use. Apply one or two uniform coats with light sanding in between using 220-grit sandpaper.
Dust off and follow with two finish coats. Care must be taken to maintain the wet edge when rolling large surfaces. When applying by spray application, back roll when wet to eliminate plaster set joint, smooth setting. Do not overroll as glancing light may affect the finished surface.
Thinning
Depending on the situation, you can mix 5% to max of 10%s water for easier application.
