Dulux Multi Surface Primer and Undercoat is a quick-drying, water-based primer offering excellent adhesion for a wide range of projects including interior and exterior wood, metal and masonry. This can then be finished with most products from the Dulux range, depending on the project.
Please note: An alternative specialist primer may be required for corroded metal, resinous species of timber, new plaster or galvanised steel.
To get the best out of Dulux Multi Surface Primer and Undercoat, ensure surfaces are clean, dry and free of surface contaminants.
- Thoroughly rub down previously painted surfaces, then wipe off with a damp, lint-free cloth or vacuum to remove all traces of sanding dust
- Special precautions should be taken during surface preparation of pre-1960s paint surfaces over wood and metal as they may contain harmful lead
- Any surface defects should be filled with an appropriate filler
- Treat any knots in wood with an appropriate knotting solution
- For iron and steel surfaces, ensure all loose scale and rust is removed by thorough scraping and wire brushing
- Leave new bright galvanised metal to weather and become dull down before priming
Always do a test area before starting any project and follow the manufacturer's instructions on the tin at all times.
- Stir the tin thoroughly before and periodically during use
- Apply 1 coat of Dulux Multi Surface Primer and Undercoat with a good quality synthetic paint brush or microfibre roller to previously finished projects or 2 coats if applying to bare wood
- Allow 2 hours between coats and 2 hours before a top coat
Once fully dry, surfaces primed with Dulux Multi Surface Primer and Undercoat can be over-coated with a suitable Dulux topcoat, such as Quick Dry Satinwood, Quick Dry Eggshell, Quick Dry Gloss, Non Drip Gloss or any other compatible Dulux paint system. See our full range of Dulux Paints here.
