RUSTINS White Primer/Undercoat 250ml

I can't believe how great this paint is it goes on lovely, dries fast, you can wash the brushes out with water and it looks great so I know that I will be happy with the end result once I've glossed, would highly recommend this and will definitely be buying more, I only went for the small tin to test it out as I'd never used it before but I will buy the bigger tin next time, well worth the money, time and effort of doing an undercoat.

Needed this to refresh our very tired radiator. Easy to apply, great coverage, not leavingany smudges. It's not too runny, but not too thick either, just great to work with. Dried quickly as promised. I used Rustins white paint a few hours later and am happy with the results. Now I know what white looks like. Bonus for ability to clean with just water, as I am quite messy.

The builders neglected to prime my garden gate, so I purchased this, so I could finish off for them!Applies just fine to bare/untreated wood.Fit for purpose, ready for the top coat.I would normally go for Rustolium, but this was cheaper...and at the end of the day, did the job just fine.Water-based, so clean up was easy.

Best ever primer and undercoat. Only needed one coat for perfect coverage

This is my first foray into water based paints for wood and I'm pretty happy with it.The main benefits for me are, no odour and the brushes are easy to clean.Oil based paints stink. There's no getting away from that, but I still prefer the final smooth finish of a good thick oil paint. But times have changed. These paints are easier on the body from a breathing point of view and not having to use solvents to clean brushes in one of the biggest draws of these new paints. I can also sleep in the room the same night.It dries quite quickly so I can put on a decently thick coat. I've switched to a reasonably soft brush which gives me a better smooth finish.Working in warm weather means the paint dries on the brush quite quickly but the beauty is, I can rinse the brush and start again. If the paint in the tin gets too thick, I can water it down a tiny bit, depending on what I need.This paint was recommended by my professional painter who is doing my hall, stairs and landing.Easy to use, gives a nice thick coat (obviously depending on how thick you paint it) but I've had no runs, which is another hallmark of oil based paints.I have the white which gave me a good colour base for my white top coat on skirting and window sills.It's not cheap but getting a good quality paint is definitely worth it in the long run.

Great quality primer but unfortunately the tin arrived dented and a loose line thankfully the tin was wrapped in cellophane so no spillages..

Did what it said on the tin!

I’m no diy woman but I found this just the right consistency to apply - not too thin so it doesn’t run all over the place, and not too thick to apply evenly. Covers well. Nice small tin but goes far. Dries super quickly.
