We mix the paint on site, which means we can offer our usual fast delivery with no extra delay. Tinted Colour Match paints can't be cancelled or returned as they are tinted to order. Note: Depending on the amount of colourant required to mix your chosen colour, there may be up to a 10% variant on the advertised paint volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA tinted primer can be used to help obtain the true depth of colour for your top coat or to reduce the amount of coats required when a drastic colour change is occurring. A tinted primer will not necessarily be the same colour as your selected topcoat. It will be tinted towards the topcoat colour and generally lighter in shade. For example if your topcoat is black your primer may be a shade of grey. If you are unsure about when a tinted primer is required please contact us and we can advise further.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eArea\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eExterior\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRecommended Use\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor use on traditional lime-cement and cement plasters, thin-layer mineral-polymer and acrylic\nplasters as well as concrete substrates.
