FAQs

What surfaces can I use Berger Undercoat on?

This undercoat is suitable for both wood and metal surfaces, both interior and exterior.

Can I use this undercoat with any topcoat?

Berger Undercoat is recommended for use with Berger Gloss and Satin paints. Always refer to the paint manufacturer's guidelines for compatibility.

How should I prepare the surface before applying the undercoat?

The surface should be clean, dry, and free from any loose paint, rust, grease, or dirt. Sand the surface lightly to create a key for the undercoat.

How many coats of undercoat do I need?

Typically, one coat is sufficient, but in some cases, a second coat may be necessary for optimal results, especially on porous surfaces or when transitioning from a dark color.

How long should I wait between coats?

Allow each coat to dry completely before applying the next coat. Drying times will vary, so refer to the product label for specific instructions.

Clean brushes and equipment immediately after use with a suitable solvent, such as mineral spirits.

Troubleshooting

Undercoat is not adhering properly.

Ensure the surface is properly prepared by cleaning and sanding. Also, check the product's expiry date and ensure the correct application method is followed.

Undercoat is showing brush marks.

Apply the undercoat in thin, even coats and use a high-quality brush or roller. Avoid over-brushing.
