8,000+
Every Allbäck colour can be mixed with any other, so the 32 tins open up more than 8,000 shades. Mix a small test batch first and note the ratio, so you can repeat it for the whole job.
Please note: we don’t tint or mix paint in the warehouse. Mixing is done by you, at home or on site.
One litre covers 15–20 m² per coat. Put in the area and we will tell you the litres and the tins to order.
Approximately 4 – 5.3 litres
Two 3 litre tins
An approximate guide, based on 15–20 m² per litre, per coat. Porous or rough surfaces use more.
Everything we carry, grouped the way a job is actually put together — paint, wax, brushes, strippers and site kit.
The same paint goes on exterior weatherboard and interior joinery, primer coat and finish coat alike. You are not buying an undercoat, a topcoat and a sealer — you are buying one tin.
Thin it with up to 5% linseed oil if you need to. Clean the brush with linseed soap and water.
Same job, two ways of getting there.
