I'm still wondering whether to paint my teal corner unit. TBH it's the preparation that puts me off.
This one claims you dont need to prep it......it covers virtually anything.
We all say "if something seems too good to be true"...... but technology is advancing so quickly that this might actually do what it claims.

It's as good as they say it is. 👍👍

So, I assume you have used it. I am thinking of painting a teak unit white.
In your opinion** how many coats would do the job AND......does it really not need sanding ?
**I promise not to sue you .

Only used it on a wall Dave, so no experience with wood. Our decorator ( highly regarded, 6 month waiting list) recently switched from Crown to Tikkurila paint. Perhaps take a look at that too ?

It's a high adhesion primer so it should work fine on a varnished surface without sanding.

I've used Zinsser products a fair bit now - they've always worked exactly as they say they will. That being said they have a lot of products which overlap (you could also use Zinsser Bin as I understand it on a varnished surface) so double checking isn't a bad thing.

Zinsser BIN would be a better choice over existing varnish & would give better cover. Although they say you can slap it straight on, a bit of good preparation is never wasted. Wash with mild detergent then sugar soap. When it's fully dry, a light rub over with 180 grit abrasive for better key. Wipe over with a tack cloth just prior to priming with Zinsser of choice.
