Product Description
Palatine Garden Furniture Primer Undercoat is a coating designed for use as a primer or undercoat for Palatine Professional Garden Furniture Paint when applying it to garden furniture such as chairs, tables and benches. An oil based primer undercoat that will provide an even surface to ensure you achieve the best finish for your furniture.
Our selection of different colours also allows you to change an existing topcoat in a timely and cost-effective way. The undercoat can be applied to an existing garden furniture paint without having to remove it. This will then bridge the colour difference between the existing topcoat colour and the new one, preventing the original colour from showing through the new colour.
Touch dry in 3 hours and hard dry in 8 hours. Leave 24 hours before overcoating.
Estimated Coverage: 12 to 14sqm per litre
Also available as an Aerosol.

Preparation:
Proper surface preparation is essential for the success of any protective coating system. Before you begin ensure the area is free from any dust, oil, grease, old coatings and surface contaminants.
For enhanced protection prime bare surfaces with Palatine Zinc Rich Cold Galvanising Primer or Palatine Metal Primer.
For non-ferrous metals use Palatine Fast Dry etching primer.
Rub down previously gloss painted surfaces with fine waterproof abrasive paper and rinse thoroughly.
Application: Best results are obtained in warm (minimum 10°C), dry conditions.
Mix thoroughly for approximately 2 minutes using a drill stirrer. A wooden batten at least 25mm wide is also ideal.
Apply an even coat using a brush, short to medium pile roller on smooth surfaces and a long pile roller.
For spray application by either airless or conventional spray a dilution ration of no more than 15% is recommended with Palatine White Spirit by volume.
For application onto wooden surfaces, a minimum of two coats is recommended.
