An oil-based undercoat serves as a foundational layer of paint, meticulously applied before the topcoat is applied. This specialised undercoat not only enhances the adhesion of subsequent layers but also contributes to a smooth, even, and durable surface essential for achieving a high-quality finish.

Commonly utilised on a diverse range of surfaces, including wood, metal, and masonry, oil-based undercoats are suitable for both interior and exterior applications. They play a crucial role in blocking stains and imperfections while providing excellent coverage, which helps reduce the number of topcoat applications required. Additionally, an oil-based undercoat imparts a level of durability that is particularly advantageous in high-traffic areas or environments exposed to the elements, ensuring that the final paint job maintains its integrity and aesthetic appeal over time.
