Painting Weatherproof

Ready to Paint

All Weatherproof products are painted with an genuine architectural pink primer and are ready for topcoat painting following installation.

IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO TOTALLY SAND, OR REMOVE THE WEATHERPROOF PINK PRIMER COATING!

Outlined below is a step by step guideline on how to paint all Weatherproof products:

STEP 1	Ensure that the primed timber is free from any dirt, oil or any other surface contaminants. Remove thoroughly by wiping clean or lightly sanding.
STEP 2	Fill any defects or nail holes with wood putty, sand lightly and spot prime.
STEP 3	The best performance from Woodhouse Weatherproof® is achieved when finishing coats are applied within 8 (eight) weeks of installation. If the primer appears or becomes chalky or loose, lightly sand these areas as required and re-prime with a premium quality primer. Seal any cut ends prior to installation with a product such as Protim Timbercare XJ, followed by a quality primer to ensure the integrity of the substrate coating.
STEP 4	Apply 2 (two) topcoats of quality acrylic or solvent based paint to the prepared product.
STEP 5	To achieve the best performance of your Woodhouse Weatherproof® product, maintain the topcoat system as per the manufacturer’s instructions, re-applying as directed or as needed.

Colour Selection for Topcoating

When selecting paint for the final topcoats, lighter colours will give the optimum end result. Dark colours still present the potential of resin bleed and surface cracking problems due to their propensity to attract heat. if you are uncertain, consult your paint retailer for further advice on colour selection for your application.
