What is Undercoat Paint?

Undercoat is a specialised paint that you apply to a surface before the main paint. It is not just a term for the first layer, and should be a product designed to be an undercoat if you want the best results.

Undercoat should always be paired with primer. Primer is a clear substance that has a strong adhesion. This means that it bonds to an unpainted surface, even rough ones like masonry or exterior wood. You then have a smooth surface to paint onto, and primer will make your undercoat and subsequent layers look brighter and protect the surface for longer.

Undercoat and primer go hand in hand, and should always be used together if you’re painting with acrylic.

 

Why an Acrylic Undercoat works Best

Acrylic paint is the go-to choice for both domestic and professional painters for a number of reasons.

First is the smooth finish. This is always the goal with an undercoat, so that your brush or roller doesn’t catch on an uneven surface. Acrylic undercoat fills in gaps perfectly, so that your chosen tool glides over the surface.

Acrylic undercoat is a water-based paint, meaning it is easier to work with than oil-based alternatives. It has quick drying times so you can get the entire project done quickly, and has a low odour that works great indoors with minimal ventilation.

Acrylic paint is also one of the most common choices for interior painting, but it doesn’t pair well with a non-acrylic undercoat. So naturally, the one that matches the other compound will always be the best option.

The Best Colour for Undercoat

Some people don’t think about the colour of their undercoat, as they imagine that since it will be covered by new layers, you’ll never notice a difference. In fact, the colour you choose for an undercoat does matter, and it can make or break your painting project.

If you’re repainting a surface, and are changing the colour dramatically, your undercoat can help to bridge the gap. For example, if you’re switching from dark shades to something lighter, a matching undercoat will ensure that you only need the minimum number of topcoats for a full transformation.

To keep things simple, our acrylic undercoat comes in 3 shades:

• White
• Light Grey
• Mid Grey

This may seem like a limited selection, but you’re rarely need anything darker. Mid grey enables you to switch from light to dark paint easily, while the lighter shades do the opposite. If you aren’t sure which is best, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
