Zinsser AllCoat (Water Based) Exterior Gloss Paint
Overview
Zinsser AllCoat is a water-based, gloss finish that is ideal for use on all exterior surfaces including wood, metal, masonry, plastic, concrete, and cladding. It offers supreme protection and adhesion to all exterior surfaces, the paint forms a vapour-permeable, low maintenance, mould resistant coating. It's extremely fast to apply as it's recoatable in as little as an hour and can be used in an airless sprayer which makes it ideal for larger areas such as warehouses. Zinsser AllCoat Gloss is also resistant to cracking, blistering and flaking and will act as a primer and sealer, meaning, for most jobs, there is no need to purchase a separate primer.
