Paint&Prime. An undercoat and topcoat in one,

Step 1: Colour Bright, bold colours can li� neutral exteriors such as bricks or concrete renders. British Paints Paint&Prime can be tinted to lots of colours – take your pick from strong and striking, or so� and chic. Some of our favourites include; Mystery Island which will bring a lush tropical vibe to your entrance; Fizzy Pink for a fun playful feel, and Pacific Lagoon for a sophisticated look. If you’re a�er a so�er look, Satin Wrap or Tiger White are seriously chic.

Step 2: Sheen British Paints Paint&Prime Doors, Windows and Trim, comes in two sheen options; gloss and semigloss. Semi-gloss works well if your exterior walls are a low sheen, and gloss creates a classic look that’s very easy to clean. Step 3: Prepare British Paints Paint&Prime Doors, Windows and Trim is a water-based enamel that’s suitable for use over water or oil-based topcoats. There’s no need for an undercoat because Paint&Prime is designed to do two jobs in one, giving perfect coverage, and saving you time.

Step 4: Paint Now for the fun part! Use a brush to ‘cut in’ and paint around the areas a roller can’t reach with British Paints Paint&Prime Doors, Windows and Trim. Then, use a roller over the rest of the door. Because of its easy-to-use thick formula, you only need to apply two coats on surfaces of similar colours. Quick to apply, with a beautiful finish, you’ll save time with Paint&Prime.

Paint&Prime is also available in interior and ceiling formulations . For more information and advice on the Paint&Prime range, visit britishpaints.co
