Johnstone's Trade Professional Undercoat
Overview
Johnstone's Trade Professional Undercoat is a solvent-based undercoat paint crafted for both interior and exterior applications on wood and metals. This undercoat not only excels in application, coverage, and opacity but also ensures an impeccable finish. Thanks to its exceptional adhesion and high film build it creates a secure bond with the substrate allowing for the surface to be sanded. This makes the Professional Undercoat an ideal choice for concealing surface imperfections, providing a solid foundation for the subsequent application of Johnstone's Trade Professional Gloss, Satin Finish, or Eggshell paints.
