Paintcor UniSub Universal Undercoat
UniSub is a quick-drying alkyd universal undercoat with excellent hiding power and adhesion. Suitable for steel, wood, and plastered walls, it blocks stubborn stains and prepares surfaces for enamel or acrylic topcoats with a smooth, durable finish
Description
UniSub Universal Undercoat is the reliable foundation your surfaces deserve. Formulated with alkyd technology to strict quality standards, it delivers a matt, hard finish that grips firmly to steel, wood, and plastered walls—providing the perfect “tooth” for subsequent coats.
Its strong hiding power makes it invaluable for covering stubborn stains caused by water or fire damage, ensuring they don’t bleed through normal paint. Whether you’re priming trim, gutters, downpipes, skirting, window frames, doors, or walls, UniSub creates a smooth, even base that enhances the beauty and durability of your chosen topcoat.
Key Features:
• Quick-drying, matt, hard finish

• Versatile use on steel, wood, and plastered walls

Where to use it:

Surface Preparation & Application:
• Steel (new or previously painted): Degrease, shot blast or sand, prime with EnviroPrime or AllPrime Plus, then apply UniSub before enamel topcoats.
