Description

Teamac Metalcote Undercoat

Teamac Metalcote Undercoat is a versatile and high-performance undercoat designed to prepare a variety of surfaces for topcoating. This oil-based undercoat is perfect for both interior and exterior applications, offering a smooth and uniform base that enhances the adhesion and longevity of the final paint layer.



Key Features

  • Excellent adhesion to wood, ferrous metals, and GRP surfaces.
  • Reduces the risk of topcoat sinkage, ensuring a long-lasting, high-gloss finish.
  • High opacity and superior flow characteristics for easy application.
  • Suitable for both professional and DIY use, with easy-to-follow instructions.
  • Certified and compliant with UK safety regulations, including VOC content limits.
  • Backed by a manufacturer’s warranty for quality assurance.



Application Instructions

For optimal results, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from contaminants. Sand wood surfaces to produce a suitable key, and degrease and sand existing painted surfaces for better adhesion. Apply directly to abraded GRP and follow with a topcoat of your choice.



Limitations and Restrictions

Metalcote undercoat is not suitable for application in temperatures below 5°C or above 25°C. Avoid using on surfaces that are exposed to excessive moisture or are prone to high humidity, as this can affect drying times and overall performance. Do not use on surfaces that are not thoroughly prepared or where a durable finish is critical without following recommended preparation steps.



Recommended Topcoats

For best results, we recommend following Metalcote Undercoat with a topcoat of Teamac Metalcote Enamel or another suitable white spirit-based paint. This will ensure a consistent, high-gloss finish that is both durable and visually appealing.
