Johnstone's Trade Aqua Water Based Undercoat is an innovative water-based undercoat that is ideal for interior and exterior wood and metals. It looks, feels and applies more like a traditional undercoat but is quick drying, which reduces application times. It also has a low odour and is lower in VOCs, making it less harmful to the atmosphere and better for the environment. Available in thousands of colours via the Johnstone's Tinting System, our Aqua Water Based Undercoat will cover approximately 10-12 square metres per litre, depending on the nature and porosity of the surface being painted, and is touch dry in 1-2 hours and recoatable after 4-6 hours.
