Ensure the surface is clean and dust free

Recommend 2 coats of Resene Lumbersider followed by a third coat

after 4-6 months to fill checks and splits, refer notes

Prime using Resene Quick Dry Primer

Alternatively for a semi gloss finish recommend 2 coats of Resene Sonyx 101 semi gloss followed by a third coat after 4-6 months to fill checks

and splits, refer notes

Fill any nail holes and gaps, spot prime with Resene Quick Dry Primer

Use Resene TimberLock

for weathered grey plywood/Shadowclad

‘Use paint colours with a light reflectance value of 40-100% to meet the 50 year durability requirement of the NZBC to prevent potential problems such as face checking. The use of ‘Cool Colour Technology’ can increase the range of dark colours (LRV <40%) that can be used on the substrate and may be acceptable to the local Territorial Authority as an ‘Alternative Solution’.’

Also consider using Resene MoulDefender or Resene Cool Colour.
