How to paint shadowclad and plywood

Note: Refer to the PDF flowchart for a visual of the steps below:

  1. Ensure the surface is clean and dust free

  2. Prime using Resene Quick Dry Primer

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

  4. Topcoat options...

    • Recommend 2 coats of Resene Lumbersider followed by a 3rd coat after 4-6 months to fill checks and splits, refer notes
    • Alternatively for a semi gloss finish recommend 2 coats of Resene Sonyx 101 waterborne semi-gloss followed by a 3rd coat after 4-6 months to fill checks and splits, refer notes

‘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 ‘Resene Cool Colour Technology’ can increase the range of dark colours (LRV <40%) which can be used on the substrate and may be acceptable to the local Territorial Authority as an ‘Alternative Solution’.’
