Primer

A rust-inhibiting primer suitable for metal*, wood* and pre-painted surfaces. This primer is designed to create a smooth application of your topcoat, whilst creating a protective foundation for your paint.

It is important you select the right shade:

  • For white, yellow, or light shades use White.
  • For Medium-dark shades use Light Grey.
  • For dark shades use Dark Grey.

Perfect formula for maximum long-lasting exterior protection

Easy to apply by brush, roller or spray gun                       

 

8 sqm coverage

Exterior Gloss: 92% sheen

Exterior Eggshell: 20% sheen

Ideal for all things exterior, from bridges, to commercial sheds, metalwork, wooden frames etc.

For all bare surfaces (wood, metal, plastic) you do need a suitable primer.

Applied evenly, 1L of Amelio Exterior covers around 9m2 (one coat). 

Although a high coverage is a key part of Amelio Exterior Paint, we do still recommend two coats to ensure a durable finish. Bear this in mind when calculating the quantity you require.

Touch dry – 2hrs @20°C

Hard dry – 4hrs @20°C

Full dry – 12hrs @20°C

Re-coat once fully dry.

It is important you select the right shade for your paint colour:

  • For white, yellow, or light shades use White.
  • For Medium-dark shades use Light Grey.
  • For dark shades use Dark Grey.

If you are painting a door and wanting an impeccable, flat finish we do recommend also using a coat of undercoat before applying your topcoat. Undercoats are mixed to order in any colour, to perfectly match your topcoat.

If you need any guidance on the application of your exterior paint, please visit our How To pages, or Contact Us. 

Amelio’s oil-based paint is effective on both interior and exterior woodwork and metalwork due to its hard-wearing nature. Using a traditional oil-based paint creates a deeper bond to surfaces than the quick-drying paints. This creates increased longevity and excellent flow when applying. A perfect paint option which maintains originality in your restorations, made in Britain. Our Gloss finish reflects light magnificently, making it practical but also tasteful. Choosing a gloss finish also makes it washable, making it easy to remove any marks. Amelio’s oil-based Eggshell produces a perfect low sheen option for your wood and metalwork. Much like the gloss, it is weather resistant and washable, but with a muted shine. Favouring British made pigments and oils, our main aim is to formulate a traditional oil-based paint, but as sustainably as possible. Perfect for adding some more life into multiple exterior projects including (but not limited to) sheds, furniture, window frames, doors, bird boxes! Also suitable for use on interior surfaces such as skirting boards, interior trims, railings, radiators and furniture!
