Performance & Benefits
Self-Priming & Multi-Surface Use
AllCoat Exterior WB Gloss bonds directly to most clean, sound surfaces — including timber, metal, masonry, plastic, concrete and UPVC — without requiring a separate primer for many applications, saving preparation time and effort.
Durable, Weather-Resistant Protection
This water-based exterior paint forms a breathable, water-shedding coating that resists cracking, blistering and flaking under severe weather exposure. Its flexible film helps maintain long-term finish integrity and excellent colour retention in outdoor conditions.
Fast Application & Recoat
Touch-dry conditions in about 30 minutes and a quick recoat time of approximately 1 hour allow efficient application of multiple coats in a single day under suitable conditions.
Mould Resistance & Low Maintenance
The paint includes a biocide treatment that helps protect against mould and fungal growth once dry, enhancing the durability of the exterior finish and lowering maintenance needs.
