Application Instructions

Before applying Zinsser AllCoat Exterior, ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free of any contaminants that might interfere with adhesion. Remove loose or peeling paint and sand the edges of any remaining paint film until smooth. For new or unpainted surfaces, especially concrete or masonry, ensure they are cured for at least 30 days before priming. Remove all existing mould and mildew with an appropriate cleaner.

Shake or stir the paint well before use. Apply with a synthetic bristle brush, roller, or sprayer. For airless spraying, use a .017” tip and high-medium pressure (2000-2500 PSI). Maintain a “wet edge” to avoid lapping and avoid painting in direct sunlight or adverse weather conditions. The paint dries to touch in 1 hour and achieves full cure in 7 days.



Usage Limitations

  • Not intended for application to exterior floors, decks, or any surfaces subject to water immersion or prolonged contact with water.
  • Special precautions should be taken during the surface preparation of pre-1960 paint surfaces as they may contain harmful lead.



Storage and Cleanup

Store Zinsser AllCoat Exterior indoors between 5°C and 25°C, away from frost. Clean application tools immediately after use with warm water and liquid detergent, and rinse with water. For dried paint on brushes, use Zinsser BIN Brush Cleaner.

questions Chris  on 2024-10-27 10:53:29
Question: 

Can I use RAL8016 on a fibre glass garage door ?

Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team: 

Assuming the door is clean, dry, sound, lightly abraded and prepared as detailed in the techncial datasheet, this product can be applied directly to fibreglass doors as a recommended 2 coat application.

For increased adhesion and protection, you could prime first with Zinsser Bulls Eye 1-2-3 prior to application.

questions Gemma on 2024-09-04 13:59:40
Question: 

I intend on using this on my front door, I want to use RAL 020 20 29 - Burgundy. What, if any undercoat should I use? It's going on existing red gloss, it's peeling in places, so those bits need sanding. It doesn't get much rain but it is subject to sun. Regards Gemma

Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team: 

Assuming application is to a timber door, the door is clean, dry, sound, lightly abraded and prepared as detailed in the technical datasheet, you could consider a first coat of Zinsser Cover Stain to any bare areas of timber, before 2 full coats of Zinsser Allcoat Exterior Satin Water-Based to finish.

We'd recommend applying to a small test area to begin, to check for compatibility and adhesion with the existing coating prior to full application.

questions Laura Fance on 2024-08-19 10:51:55
Question: 

Hi, Would this exterior paint be suitable to paint a shipping container?

Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team: 

Assuming the shipping container is clean, dry, sound and prepared as detailed in the technical, this product can be used.

However, priming with Rust-Oleum 3369/3380 CombiPrimer Anti-Corrosion would be recommended, this will provide increased protection against Anti-Corrosion, before finishing with 2 full coats of Zinsser Allcoat Exterior Satin in your choice of many RAL, BS & NCS Colours.

For greater protection, you could also consider Rust-Oleum 7500 Alkythane as an alternative. 

questions Emma on 2024-08-17 18:57:12
Question: 

I used the water based allocation exterior satin for an external door but I think it gets too much rain on it. So this year I wamt to do a few coats and then a top coat of some left over oil based exterior gloss. My question is will thr oil based gloss stick to the water based zinsser all coat exterior satin

Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team: 

Assuming the Zinsser Allcoat Exterior Satin Water-Based is fully cured, it is lightly abraded, it is clean, dry, sound, this product can be over-painted.

We would recommmend to test on a small area for compatibility and adhesion prior to full application.

questions Kerry on 2024-08-04 09:23:21
Question: 

We have an outdoor kitchen coated in silicone render. Would this be suitable to paint over the silicone render? Or can you suggest a paint that will?

2 full coats are recommended, in your choice of many mixed colours.

questions Andrew Goodwin  on 2024-07-22 21:23:21
Question: 

Can this be used on fibreglass outdoors?

Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team: 

Assuming the fibreglass substrate is clean, dry, sound, lightly abraded and prepared as detailed in the technical datasheet, providing there is a vertical water run-off and the product isn't being applied to a roof, this should be fine for application.

2 coats are recommended to achieve the desired outcome, with a choice of 4400+ RAL, BS & NCS Colours available.

To ensure the surface is prepared sufficiently, you could consider Zinsser Universal Degreaser & Cleaner to remove all traces of oils, grease, and surface contaminants to provide a clean substrate prior to painting.

questions Julia ormondroyd  on 2024-06-22 15:55:54
Question: 

Will this paint be ok to paint my kitchen tiles?

Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team: 

Assuming application is for kitchen glazed wall tiles, that are clean, dry, sound and prepared as detailed in the technical datasheet, we'd recommend a first coat of Zinsser Bulls Eye 1-2-3 to prime the tiles, providing improved adhesion to the tiles.

To finish, two full coats of Zinsser AllCoat Exterior Satin Water-Based, in your choice of many RAL, BS & NCS Colours, can then be applied to provide a decorative topcoat finish.

In preparation, Zinsser Universal Degreaser & Cleaner should be applied to the tiles, ensuring they are thoroughly clean and free of all oils, grease and surface contaminants prior to painting.

Question: 

Can the same tub of paint be used to paint a concrete garage and corrugated steel?

questions Chris R on 2021-08-26 12:14:12
Question: 

Hi, I have a shiplap shed that has been treated 6 months ago with Barrettine Wood Protective Treatment. The instructions from Barrettine state: "Should be capable of being overcoated with solvent based products within days, however it will require a weathering period of approximately 3 months before water based product can be over applied." I tried Protek Royal water based recently and the adhesion and finish was poor. I'd prefer water based and Zissner AllCoat is well reviewed but should I use the solvent based version please? Or would the water based perform better then Protek Royal in this case? Thanks

Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team: 

On bare timber we would recommend the timber be primed initially with Zinsser Cover Stain prior to application of Zinsser Allcoat Exterior Satin Water Based. 

questions David  on 2021-08-11 15:50:22
Question: 

Can this be painted on the underside of a glass table for outdoors usage or would I need to Prime the glass first. Also if I just got the Bulls eye 1.2.3 primer in the colour I needed could I just use the primer on its own without having to buy both primer and top coat.

Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team: 

Please be aware when painting glass brush strokes will be visible through the glass. Assuming the glass is clean, dry, sound and prepared as detailed in the technical data sheet, the glass should be primed first with Zinsser Bulls Eye 1-2-3 prior to application.

We would recommend using a primer and topcoat assuming visible brush strokes are acceptable.

questions Andy on 2021-08-09 12:15:31
Question: 

Is Allcoat exterior satin suitable for painting twin wall polycarbonate sheets to prevent light ingress.

Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team: 

Assuming you are looking to paint the internal faces of the polycarbonate we would recommend testing for compatibility and adhesion prior to full application as Zinsser Allcoat Exterior Water based will not adhere to all types of polycarbonate.

It should be degreased with Zinsser Universal Degreaser & Cleaner and prepared as detailed in the technical data sheet.

If you are looking to paint the external face of the polycarbonate, it is clean, dry, sound and prepared as detailed in the technical data sheet we can recommend Britannia Aquashield Eco.

Please be aware that brush strokes will be visible through the panels.

Question: 

Hi can this be applied to old upvc windows and doors with a Graco 9.5 hvlp sprayer and if so does it need to be diluted Thanks

Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team: 

Assuming the aged UPVC is clean, dry and abraded prior to application we can recommend Zinsser Allcoat Exterior Waterbased. This can be applied by brush roller or airless spray only.

This can be thinned if absolutely necessary (10% max with water).

Usually it would need to be thinned more in order for it to pass through a HVLP, which is why we do not recommend it.

Question: 

Hi, I would like to paint a garage door (steel) that has been previously painted with exterior gloss paint many years ago. Firstly, I would like to know if I need to use a primer in addition to rubbing down and cleaning with methylated spirits. Secondly our front door is Chartwell Green do you have a nearest colour match recommendation For that please.

Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team: 

Assuming the previously painted steel door is clean, dry and abraded Zinsser Allcoat Exterior Waterbased can be applied directly. If any areas are back to bare steel we can recommend priming with Bulls Eye 1-2-3. Zinsser Allcoat is available in many RAL and BS colours, please see the colour chart on the product page so you can find an appropriate match.

Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team: 

Assuming the door is clean, dry and sound we can recommend the use of Zinsser Bulls Eye 1-2-3, this is a compatible water based primer.

Question: 

I would like to repaint my metal garage door which has a powder coated finish, from white to grey. I've read your advice to abrade, use Bulls eye 123 primer and I will use All Coat Exterior satin. Would I be better to use the Solvent or Water based option? (The door is well exposed to the sun)

Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team: 

Assuming the door is dry, sound and prepared as you stated above we can recommend the waterbased option for this application at this time of year.

At temperatures down to approximately 5°C we recomend the solvent based option.

Question: 

Hi, Would Zinsser AllCoat Exterior Satin (Water Based) be suitable for use on an up and over steel garage door 12’ wide and subject to full hot sunlight in the afternoon causing expansion? Is this an acrylic-laytex paint? Regards Alan

Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team: 

Providing you are looking to apply the AllCoat Exterior Satin Water Based to galvanised steel, then two coats may be applied by brush or roller at a coverage rate of approximately 10m2/litre/coat directly onto the bare surface. If this is ferrous steel, then a red oxide or zinc phosphate primer will need to be applied prior to using the AllCoat Exterior Satin. The paint should be applied when the air and substrate temperature is 10°C and rising, relative humidity less than 80%. Ensure there is no risk or rain, fog, frost or condensation from affecting the applied paint before it has had a chance to fully cure.

We recommend to ensure the surface to be painted is clean, dry, sound and free from any surface contamination such as dirt, oils, grease, mould, mildew, rust, loose or flaking paint etc that are likely to affect the performance of any subsequent coats of paint; to ensure this we advise the following prior to painting, clean down with hot soapy water, rinse with warm water and when dry have a good wipe over with methylated spirits to promote good adhesion.

Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team: 

The Zinsser Allcoat Exterior products should not be thinned for application, they can be applied by brush, roller or airless spray but not HVLP as this would require too much thinning which will have an adverse effect on the performance of the product.

What paint do you recommend over either traditional linseed or acrylic glazing putty. The windows are cast iron lattice panels within wood frames. The glazing putty will be on the exterior. The panels are to be shot blasted and spray primed with Rustoleum 1080. Followed by 2 coats of Rustoleum Satin Combi colour.

Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team: 

Normally we would recommend Zinsser Cover Stain to prime linseed oil putty, it should also be fine over the acrylic putty however both should be allowed to dry sufficiently before painting.

Question: 

Hi, I need to paint an exterior aluminium roof fascia that was spot spray painted by the builder and now the spray painted areas are fading. Can I use All Coat anthracite grey to paint the whole fascia with a roller? Some of the fascia has silicone where it overlaps, can I simply paint over that with All Coat? Thanks.

Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team: 

Zinsser AllCoat Exterior Satin (Water Based) will not bond to silicone, this would need to be removed, the surface then cleaned to remove traces of silicone. Zinsser AllCoat Exterior Satin (Water Based) will take to the previously painted fascia. The gaps can be resealed after painting with a suitable sealant.

Question: 

I need to paint my exterior wooden cladding on my hourse. I treated it 3 years ago with Cuprinol Ducks Back. Will Zinsser Allcoat Exterior Satin paint over this without problems?

Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team: 

We would recommend checking with Cuprinol to make sure the Ducks Back product can be overpainted, if it has weathered for 3 years it may be OK but some of these types of products contain waxes which will affect adhesion of subsequent paint coatings. Provided there is minimal wax content then Zinsser AllCoat Exterior Satin (Water Based) can be used.

Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team:

questions Mike on 2017-10-17 16:52:55
Question: Hi, I've just painted my exterior door in Sandtex 10 year Exterior gloss paint but I'm not happy with the results, even after applying a primer and two coats of gloss. Could I paint over this gloss paint with your satin exterior paint without keying and applying an undercoat? Also, do you offer a Sage colour?
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team: 

Zinsser AllCoat Exterior Satin will be OK for this, however as we are heading towards cooler weather however it may be advisable to go for the Solvent Grade. Drying conditions will be poorer at this time of year which will affect the drying of the water based AllCoat. This is likely to cause issues if the coating gets caught in a shower of rain before it has fully cured. The AllCoat can go on directly without sanding or priming provided the surface is clean, existing coating is sound etc.
2 coats should be sufficient provided the colour of the Sandtex Gloss and the sage green you require is similar.

Question: Hi - I am just buying a new wooden summerhouse which has be treated as standard, but would like to paint in in blue and white - is you paint suitable for direct application without having a primer or undercoat?
Answer from Rawlins’ Technical Team: 

Zinsser AllCoat Exterior Satin is self-priming and will adhere to any sound surface. The first coat of Zinsser AllCoat Exterior Satin primes and seals the surface, providing a base for the second coat. The second and third coats (if required) complete the sealing process while providing additional moisture resistance and protection. Before painting, fill all nail holes and gouges with a proprietary filler. Where necessary, spot prime knots and sap streaks with Zinsser B-I-N. For new or unpainted cedar, redwood, or other resinous timbers prime with Zinsser Cover Stain.
