FAQs

Can I use this paint indoors?

Zinsser Allcoat Exterior is specifically formulated for outdoor use, offering features like mould resistance and extreme weather protection. While it may technically adhere indoors, it is not designed or recommended for interior applications.

Do I need to prime the surface before applying Zinsser Allcoat Exterior?

Zinsser Allcoat Exterior often acts as its own primer on many surfaces. However, for very porous, stained, or difficult surfaces, a dedicated Zinsser primer (such as Zinsser B-I-N or Bulls Eye 1-2-3, depending on the substrate) is recommended for optimal adhesion and finish longevity.

What surfaces is this paint suitable for?

It is suitable for a wide range of exterior surfaces including wood, metal, masonry, plastic, concrete, and cladding, offering supreme protection and a long-lasting finish.

How long does it take for the paint to dry?

Zinsser Allcoat Exterior is recoatable in just 1 hour, meaning you can apply subsequent coats quickly. Full cure time will be longer, typically a few days, depending on environmental conditions.

How long will the finish last?

This paint is formulated to provide a long-lasting finish, offering supreme protection and excellent colour retention for up to 15 years under normal conditions.

Can I apply this paint with an airless sprayer?

Yes, Zinsser Allcoat Exterior is ideal for airless spray application, allowing for efficient and smooth coverage, especially on larger areas. Always refer to your sprayer's manual for specific setup and dilution recommendations.

What makes this paint mould resistant?

The paint contains fungicidal properties that inhibit the growth of mould and algae on the painted surface, helping to maintain a clean and fresh appearance for longer.

Troubleshooting

Poor adhesion or flaking paint.

Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned, dry, and properly prepared (sanded if glossy) before application. Any loose paint should have been removed.

Mould reappearing after painting.

Before painting, the surface must be treated with a suitable fungicidal wash to kill existing mould spores. Allcoat resists *new* mould growth, but won't eliminate pre-existing spores if not treated.

Paint is not drying within 1 hour.

Drying times can be affected by temperature, humidity, and ventilation. Ensure ambient temperature is within recommended range (10°C-32°C) and humidity is not excessively high. Apply thinner coats if necessary.

Streaky or uneven finish.

Ensure paint is thoroughly stirred. Apply evenly using appropriate brush/roller technique, or calibrate airless spray equipment correctly. Avoid over-spreading or applying too thickly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best possible results and maximize the 15-year performance of Zinsser Allcoat Exterior Water Based Satin, proper preparation is essential.

Surface Preparation

  1. Clean: Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dirt, loose paint, grease, and fungal growth. Use a suitable fungicidal wash if mould or algae is present.
  2. Sand: Lightly sand glossy surfaces to create a key for better adhesion. Remove all sanding dust.
  3. Fill: Fill any cracks or holes with an appropriate exterior filler.
  4. Prime: While Allcoat can often be self-priming, very porous or problematic surfaces may benefit from a dedicated Zinsser primer for optimum adhesion and finish. Always refer to product technical data sheet for specific priming recommendations.

Application

  • Stir: Thoroughly stir the paint before and during use.
  • Apply: Apply using a brush, roller, or airless spray. For airless spray, follow manufacturer guidelines for equipment setup.
  • Coats: Apply 2 coats, allowing 1 hour drying time between coats.
  • Temperature: Apply in temperatures between 10°C and 32°C. Avoid applying in direct sunlight or if rain is imminent.

Compatibility

This paint is highly versatile and compatible with a wide range of exterior substrates including:

  • Wood: Fences, trim, doors, sheds, cladding.
  • Metal: Gates, railings, guttering, downpipes (ensure rust is treated first).
  • Masonry: Render, brickwork, concrete.
  • Plastic: UPVC, plastics (test a small area first for specific plastic types).
  • Concrete: Floors, walls.
  • Cladding: Various types of exterior cladding.

Care & Maintenance of Painted Surfaces

  • Cleaning: Painted surfaces can be gently cleaned with mild detergent and water to remove dirt. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh scrubbing which can damage the finish.
  • Inspection: Periodically inspect painted surfaces for any signs of damage or wear, especially after harsh weather conditions. Prompt touch-ups can extend the life of the coating.
