General Finishes NEW Exterior 450 White is a water-based exterior-rated pigmented coating for use on vertical surfaces such as outdoor kitchens, entry doors, garage doors, and windows. Contains UV absorbers to protect the film integrity, and improved vertical sag resistance when spraying. Exterior 450 White is a self-sealing flexible finish that moves with exterior conditions with superior adhesion over multiple substrates, such as PVC, exterior MDF, composite material and fiberglass. It’s tintable to light or pastel colors with zero VOC colorants.
