Relaunched in 2009 especially for external situations, we find our old style oil based gloss (white only) fairs much better than our water based system given our increasingly damp summers and wet, marine climate. Unlike acrylics, Auro's oil based gloss paint is not prone to cracking and peeling. The exterior gloss system is expected to last up to 8 years when properly applied. It is both tough and flexible, but because this system contains orange oil solvent it does rate as high VOC so we recommend it for external application only. Drying times are dependent on temperature and humidity to a greater extent than with conventional paints so it's best applied in Spring/ Summer months. Dust dry in 6 – 9 hours, re-coatable after 24 hours. Final hardness reached in about 3 days. We recommend using our 933 Undercoat with this product as a complete system for best results. 2.5l = approx. 26 sq m coverage
