Zinsser Allcoat Exterior Gloss (Water Based) - Premium All-Surface Paint
Long-term decoration in 4,400 colours; it forms a durable, low-maintenance coating suitable for a variety of exterior surfaces. Its advanced formula ensures superior protection and lasting beauty.
Applications
- uPVC (windows and doors, composite doors)
- Timber
- Metal
- Masonry
- Plastic
- Concrete
- Cladding
- Weathered bitumen
- Stucco
- Brick
- Stone
Perfect for new or previously painted surfaces, Zinsser AllCoat Exterior Gloss is self-priming and adheres to glossy paints without the need for sanding. Ideal for a wide range of exterior projects, ensuring a fresh, attractive finish for years.
Features and Benefits
- Cracking and Weather Resistance: Offers excellent protection against cracking, blistering, and flaking.
- Biocide Protection: Contains a biocide to protect the dried coating against fungal degradation.
- Quick Recoat Time: Dries to recoat in just 1 hour, ensuring a fast and efficient application process.
- Easy Application: Can be applied with a brush, roller, or sprayer.
- Low Maintenance: Forms a water-shedding coating that reduces maintenance requirements.
Surface Preparation
Surfaces must be clean, dry, and free from any contaminants that may interfere with adhesion. Remove all loose or peeling paint and sand edges to smooth. Special precautions should be taken for surfaces painted before 1960, as they may contain lead.
New concrete, masonry, and other related surfaces must cure for at least 30 days before priming. For effective mould and mildew removal, use appropriate fungicidal wash products. Treat timber at risk from decay or insect attack with suitable preservatives.
Use Zinsser B-I-N Primer-Sealer to spot-prime knots and sap streaks. Zinsser Cover Stain is ideal for priming new or unpainted cedar, redwood, or other resinous timbers.
Application Instructions
- Shake or stir well before use.
- Apply with synthetic bristle brush, roller, or sprayer (use a .017” tip and 2000-2500 PSI for airless spraying).
- Ensure air and surface temperature are between 10° & 32°C with less than 85% humidity during application and curing.
Avoid direct sunlight during application and maintain a “wet edge” to prevent lapping. The first coat primes and seals, while the topcoat provides additional moisture resistance and protection.
Restrictions and Limitations
- Not intended for application to exterior floors, decks, or any surfaces subject to water immersion or prolonged contact with water.
Health and Safety
In case of accidental contact, follow first aid measures: wash skin thoroughly, flush eyes with water, and seek medical attention if necessary. Do not induce vomiting if swallowed. Use appropriate protective equipment and ensure proper ventilation during application.
UN Number: Not regulated.
The product does not contain Diisocyanates. Contains 2-octyl-2H-isothiazol-3-one and other biocides which may cause an allergic reaction. Dispose of contents and container in accordance with local regulations. Avoid releasing into the environment.

| Question:
Hiya. Is Zinsser Allcoat gloss suitable for fibreglass garage door? Also, the present finish is old and a bit unstable, would I need to treat it before painting with some kind of stabilising fluid? |
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team:
Assuming the garage door is clean, dry, sound, lightly abraded and prepared as detailed in the technical datasheet, and any flaking or peeling material removed, this product can be applied direct to a fibreglass garage door. | |

| Question:
I need to paint my Composite front door which is Rosewood in colour with a grain finish. Will I loose the grain finish if I use this paint. |
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team:
Thanks for your enquiry. This product will follow the contours of the substrate being a thin build paint, so any texture should remain once painted. Due to the paint being one colour any highlights/lowlights of the grain effect would be lost. | |

| Question:
Hi, does allcoat require an undercoat on pre painted and bare wood surfaces. |
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team:
For application to bare timber we would recommend to prime first with Zinsser Cover Stain. Zinsser Allcoat Exterior can be applied to most previously painted areas directly assuming they are clean, dry, sound and sanded to provide a key prior to application. We would recommend to test on a small area prior to full application for compatibility and adhesion. | |

| Question:
can I paint polycarbonate ? I want to clad a plinth, so the paint wont be exposed to the elements, but will it stick ? |
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team:
This product will adhere to many plastics such as polycarbonate, we would recommend the area to be painted is cleaned, degreased and lightly sanded prior to application. Testing on a small area prior to full application for compatibility and adhesion would be wise. | |

| Question:
Can this be used on kitchen unit doors as needs to be a gloss finish Thanks |
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team:
Assuming the kitchen cupboard doors are a laminate, they are clean, dry, sound and prepared as detailed in the technical data sheet we would recommend they are first primed with Zinsser Bulls Eye 1-2-3 prior to application. | |

| Question:
I have seen that you have said that it is not suitable for floors . Would these include concrete patio slabs? Last October I used anthracite grey on a few concrete stepping stones and it looks far better than another branded masonry paint and now want to give my patio a revamp. |
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team:
Unfortunately this paint or other masonry paints should not be used on a floor. Assuming the concrete slabs have a damp proof membrane, the previously applied paint is removed, the area is clean, dry, sound and prepared as detailed in the technical data sheet we can recommend Coo-Var Acrylic Floor Paint. This is available in many RAL, NCS or BS colours in a semi-gloss finish. | |

Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team:

| Question:
I painted my narrowboat cabin sides in Owatrol oil gloss paint, but don't like the colour - would this be suitable for painting over it? And if so, would I have to sand first? |
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team:
No, assuming the previously painted areas above the waterline are clean, dry, sound, prepared as detailed in the technical data sheet, a test for compatibility and adhesion is undertaken we can recommend Teamac Marine Gloss. The previously applied coating should be fully cured and sanded prior to application. | |

| Question:
Would this be suitable to use on my wooden sash windows and their stone cill, or would the cill need a base coat of some kind. |
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team:
Zinsser AllCoat Exterior Gloss (Water Based) can be applied directly to a stone sill be it bare or previously painted. When applying on to timber, the surface should be primed with Zinsser Cover Stain initially before applying a minimum of 2 coats of Zinsser Allcoat Exterior Gloss (Water Based). | |

| Question:
I want to decorate a hall,stairs and landing . The finish has to be white gloss i don't want to use oil as it goes yellow after a few months. Would this product be suitable as there are quite a few panel doors to paint. Is it easy to keep the edge going I've found other water-based glosses don t look good on large painted areas. |
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team:
Yes you can use Zinsser AllCoat Exterior Gloss (Water Based) for an interior application and it will give a non-yellowing finish. To paint doors we would recommend using a 4” short pile roller, it is much easier to keep a wet edge and will be quicker to cover a large area. You could also use one of the Zinsser primers to prime the door first if you wish, Zinsser Bulls Eye 1-2-3 or Zinsser B-I-N would both be suitable. | |

| Question:
Hi can i use the Black gloss all exterior paint on my composite door. If yes do i need to undercoat first? |
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team:
Zinsser AllCoat Exterior Gloss (Water Based) can be applied directly to uPVC with no primer required. We would advise abrading the surfaces with a fine grade of sandpaper followed by a solvent wipe using methylated spirits. Then apply 2 coats of the AllCoat Exterior Gloss (Water Based) in your chosen colour. | |

| Question:
What would I use to thin Zinsser AllCoat Exterior Gloss for spraying? |
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team:
Zinsser do not recommend this product is thinned at all for application by Brush, Roller or Spray. They recommend application by Airless Spray only, as this will allow the product to be applied without thinning. The product is water based so for clean up, you can clean application tools, spatters and spills immediately with warm water and liquid detergent; rinse with water. Follow equipment manufacturer’s directions to clean spray equipment. Remove dried product with a household cleaner; rinse with water. | |

| Question:
Regarding Zinsser AllCoat Exterior Gloss I failed to open the datasheet for some reason. When I clicked on the datasheet button, there appears to be two. One listed as MSDS and the other listed as TDS so are there two products available? What is the cleanup on this/these product/s? Is a primer/undercoat recommended? |
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team:
Every product has a Technical Data Sheet (TDS) and Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS). Zinsser AllCoat Exterior Gloss is a water based product so clean up can be carried out with just water and for most surfaces no primer is required but for full details see information in the TDS. | |
