How to choose primer and undercoat
- Match the specification to the exposure — the same product performs differently on a coastal site than inland.
- Buy the quantity the job needs plus a sensible wastage allowance, not a round number.
- Check what the installer already works with; compatibility beats a marginal price saving.
- Ask for the contract rate before ordering volume rather than after.

Frequently asked questions
How much does primer and undercoat cost in South Africa?
Across the 50 primer and undercoat lines we stock, prices run from R114 to R1,599, with most jobs specified around the R1,169 mark. Volume changes that materially, so send quantities for a contract price.
Do you deliver primer and undercoat nationwide?
Yes. Delivery to all major South African centres, or collect from the yard. Lead time depends on stock position and delivery address — we confirm both before you commit.
Can I get trade pricing on primer and undercoat?
Trade and project pricing is available on request. Counter price is the list price; contractors buying repeat volume should be quoted, not charged shelf rate.
How do I work out the quantity I need?
Send the drawing, area or spec and we will work the quantity back for you. Getting it right first time is cheaper than paying for a second delivery.
