FAQs

Can I use this on exterior metal?

Yes, Blackfriar Undercoat is suitable for exterior use on metal, provided the surface is prepped correctly and free of rust.

Does this grey undercoat affect the color of my topcoat?

The grey tint is specifically designed to help block dark colors, making it easier for lighter topcoats to cover in fewer layers.

How long should I wait before applying the topcoat?

Refer to the drying time on the product tin; generally, allow the undercoat to become touch-dry and cure fully before sanding lightly and applying your topcoat.

Do I need to prime before using this undercoat?

Blackfriar Undercoat serves as a primer-undercoat for most surfaces. If the surface is highly absorbent or problematic, a dedicated primer may be used first.

Is this product water-based or solvent-based?

This product is solvent-based; please ensure adequate ventilation during application and use white spirit for cleaning.

Troubleshooting

Undercoat is not adhering to the surface

The surface was likely not cleaned or sanded properly. Ensure all grease and loose particles are removed before re-applying.

Paint is bubbling or showing brush marks

Check that the surface is not too hot and that you are not over-working the paint. Apply in thinner, even layers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Surface Preparation: Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose paint, grease, or dust. Use sandpaper to scuff glossy surfaces for better adhesion.
  2. Application: Stir thoroughly before use. Apply evenly using a high-quality synthetic brush or a medium-nap roller.
  3. Compatibility: Compatible with most standard oil-based and water-based topcoats. Always perform a test patch if applying over unknown existing coatings.
  4. Cleanup: Clean brushes and rollers immediately after use with appropriate white spirit or brush cleaner.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ensuring the lid is tightly sealed to prevent the product from skinning over.
