Solvent-Based Primers
Zinsser manufactures problem-solving, solvent-based primers synonymous with quality. Zinsser primers are very fast-acting, with Bulls Eye 1-2-3 offering a quick recoat time of just around an hour. In spaces where you’re pushed for time and need an all-in-one primer that gets to work in no time at all, Zinsser will get the job done.
If you’re looking for a quick and reliable all-around primer, we recommend Zinsser B-I-N® primer, but if you have a more specific use case, such as covering stubborn stains, we recommend Zinsser Cover Stain. For hard-to-stick surfaces such as glossy or exterior metal materials, the Bullseye 1-2-3 primer is best suited.
Zinsser Cover Stain
Zinsser Cover Stain is the only interior and exterior primer, sealer, stain killer and bond coat that dries to recoat in only two hours.
You might wonder how many coats of Zinsser Cover Stain you’ll need to use, and you’ll be pleased to know that one coat is usually enough, or two coats for porous surfaces.
We’re often asked how to use Cover Stain, and it really couldn’t be easier. Simply apply to a clean, dry surface with a synthetic brush, roller or spray in a well-ventilated area.
Water-Based Primers
Zinsser’s water-based primers deliver exceptional performance whilst being kinder to the planet. Zinsser BIN Aqua is a 4-in-1 primer that, in addition to priming, also seals, blocks stains and locks odours.
With BIN Aqua, you can benefit from low odour and minimal VOCs, fast drying, multi-surface application, as well as being eco-friendly with its water-based formula.
Zinsser Mould Resistant Paint
In high-humidity rooms, like bathrooms and kitchens, mould can grow. Zinsser’s mould-resistant products help to prevent this. It protects ceilings, walls and woodwork. Each finish is designed to resist mould and mildew. Choose from matt, satin, or gloss finishes.
Zinsser anti-mould paint range includes:
-
Zinsser Allcoat Exterior Gloss (Solvent-Based)
-
Zinsser PermaWhite® (Interior)
-
Zinsser AllCoat ® Exterior Satin
-
Zinsser Allcoat ® Exterior Gloss

Zinsser Allcoat
Zinsser Allcoat is a range of high-quality multi-surface paints. The collection includes multi-surface paint, exterior and interior gloss and satin finishes, and is available in both water and solvent bases. Each paint in the Allcoat range is waterproof.
We’re often asked if you need an undercoat with Allcoat, and in most cases, the answer is no. The first coat acts as a sealer and primer in one, and the second coat acts as the top coat.
Zinsser Allcoat paints are microporous. This means they keep water out but allow for any moisture that has found its way into the surface to escape as a vapour.
Zinsser Allclean
Zinsser Allclean is a scrubbable interior matt paint that provides a stain repellent finish, perfect for high-traffic homes. You can buy Zinsser Allclean in white and also a wide range of colours, with our tintable product line.
Zinsser BIN Primer is easy to apply; use a brush, roller or spray to apply on large areas, or if priming small areas, it comes in a handy aerosol can for quick application.
You might wonder how many coats of BIN Primer to use. The good news is you’ll only need one coat on most surfaces or two coats on porous surfaces.
What is the difference between Zinsser Bin Primer and Zinsser Bulls Eye 1-2-3 Primer?
Zinsser BIN Primer is suitable for interior and exterior surfaces with high levels of stain and odour blocking.
Zinsser Bullseye 1-2-3 Primer is also suitable for interior and exterior surfaces with stain and odour blocking properties, but is particularly effective on glossy surfaces, metal or hard-to-stick surfaces.
We’re often asked about shellac-based primers. Simply put, it’s a stain-blocking primer that adheres to tricky surfaces like glossy plastics, metals, ceramic tiles and previously varnished surfaces. Discover more about Shellac-based primers.
