ColourPicker Explained

In general we sort colours for products into 2 main groups - ‘Ready Mixed’ and ‘Tinted’.
Tinted colours will always be more expensive than Ready Mixed colours as they need to be produced at the time of order using a tinting machine dispensing colourant into a base*.
During busy periods, this means that tinted colours could take longer, for example – a ready mixed colour ordered on a 3-5 day delivery might arrive within 3 days, however a tinted colour might take the full 5 days to arrive.

To find Ready Mixed colours, search "ready mixed" or select the Ready Mixed 'colour chart'. To see Tinted colours select a colour chart such as RAL, BS, NCS, etc. or search for a colour/hue to see available or related options.

To ensure fair pricing, we split colours into ‘Price Bands’ to group together similar priced colours. If you wish to search for the cheapest tinted colours, always select Price Band 1.

We make every effort to list all available colours, however we also offer a colour match service which can be accessed by contacting our Technical Team on 0113 245 5450 (option 2) or emailing [email protected]

*Colours are sold in the nearest tin size but actual paint volume per tin may vary up to 10% depending on colour

Application Instructions

Surfaces should be clean, dry and free from dust and debris.
Freshly applied bitumen coatings should be allowed to weather for at least 3 – 5 days prior to the application of Aluminium Paint (Contractors Grade).
For use on Roofing Felt it is recommended you prime the surface prior to applying the first coat of Aluminium Paint (Contractors Grade).
STIR THOROUGHLY BEFORE USE
Note: The appearance of a silver film on the surface of the paint after a short period of stirring does not signify that the paint is thoroughly uniform. It is advisable to stir for several minutes to ensure complete dispersion. Preference should be given to mechanical stirring.
Two coats should be applied, the first being allowed to dry before application of the second. To avoid bronzing it is important that Aluminium Paint (Contractors Grade) is not applied too thickly. Do not brush excessively as this can cause softening of the substrate.
The presence of moisture on the surface of rain falling before the Aluminium Paint (Contractors Grade) has dried can also cause bronzing.
Do not use in temperatures less than +5°C.

Clean with White Spirit.
