Primer / Undercoat Wood & Metal Paint

Our primer/undercoat is a water-based formula and is for use on bare wood, metal, and over existing oil based paint. This helps to create a smooth and even base, before adding a luxurious Victory Colours Eggshell finish.

We recommend that our Wood/Metal paints are used as a two-part system.  Firstly, paint with our water-based Primer/Undercoat, and finish with our Wood/Metal Eggshell.

This primer/undercoat is water-based, and eco friendly.  Use under our lovely water-based eggshell for a wonderful, smooth, durable finish.

We Recommend

Don't forget to purchase tools for your decorating project.  We recommend the award winning Eco Union decorating products for optimum utility for all your decorating needs, and also the fantastic Two Fussy Blokes range for the best rollers in the world (in our humble opinion).

Always read the information on the tin first before use. Check colour and finish are correct before starting with this application.  To avoid spilling store securely in an upright position.

1. Stir all paints before use.
2. Surfaces must be clean, dry and sound.  If not they should be sanded and appropriately prepared.  
3. We recommend a single coat of Primer/Undercoat, followed by one, or more coats of our Victory Colours Wood Paint to achieve the best finish.
4. Being a water-based product it is best to protect the opened wet paint from airborne and surface bacteria .  To avoid spoilage it is best to decant the paint into a paint tray or paint kettle and not to place the brush or roller directly into the paint tin, unless you intend to use it all at one time.  Also avoid putting unused paint back into the paint tin as this will introduce unwanted bacteria into the paint and potentially cause spoilage of the product.
5. Victory Colours paint has great opacity so often only one coat will suffice.  Occasionally a second coat will be required to produce a flawless finish.
6. The paint will be touch dry in 2 hours but we recommend waiting 4 hours to re-coat, ensuring that the surface is completely dry, under normal environmental conditions.
7. We recommend a premium quality, Eco Union paint brushes with a high bristle content for best results.
8. Clean brushes and rollers with warm soapy water after use.
