- If the surface you are applying the Leyland Trade Undercoat to is new or bare timber, it will first need a primer, which will soak in and provide a bond.
- Rub down sound previously painted surfaces with fine waterproof abrasive paper to provide a key.
- Avoid the inhalation of dust. Wear a suitable face mask if dry sanding. Special precautions should be taken during surface preparation of pre-1960s paint surfaces over wood and metal as they may contain harmful lead.
Always perform a test on a small inconspicuous area to ensure compatibility, and we recommend following the manufacturer's instructions found on the tin.
- Stir well before use. Apply the undercoat with a brush or roller.
- For best results, the brush should be fully loaded. Do not thin.
- Apply one or more coats as required and wait 16-24 hours for the first coat to dry before applying the second coat.
- Do not apply over polystyrene surfaces.
Q. Will Leyland Trade Undercoat Paint Improve the Topcoat?
A. Undercoat paint helps to even out the surface and provide a uniform colour base for the topcoat. Leyland Trade Undercoat Paint offers good coverage, allowing you to achieve a consistent appearance and hide any imperfections or inconsistencies on the surface.
Q. Why Use a Dark Grey Undercoat?
A. A dark grey undercoat provides a neutral base that enhances the vibrancy and richness of the colours applied on top. It acts as a backdrop, making the colours appear more intense and true to their intended shade. This is particularly beneficial when using deep tones and strong colours. Dark grey undercoats can help hide surface imperfections and irregularities, such as minor scratches, dents, or patches. The dark colour minimizes the visibility of these flaws, creating a smoother and more even surface for subsequent layers of paint.
