Albany Launch New Multi-Surface Paint – ABX Exterior



Albany has launched ABX Exterior, a new trade-quality, multi-surface paint designed to make interior and exterior jobs more straightforward.


Acting as both a primer and a finish, ABX Exterior can be used across a wide range of surfaces, helping you get the job done with fewer products. With up to 15 years of weather protection, it's built to keep performing long after the job is finished.


What is Albany ABX Exterior?

ABX Exterior is a water-based, multi-surface paint that can be used on new or previously painted surfaces, both inside and out.


It can be applied to:

• Non-ferrous metals


So, whether you're tackling timber, masonry or metalwork, ABX gives you one product to reach for across multiple parts of the job.


One product. Less prep. More flexibility.

ABX Exterior combines primer and finish in one, helping to reduce the number of products needed for the job. It also offers stain blocking, mould resistance and rust-inhibiting protection, making it a practical choice for a range of decorating challenges.


For exterior work, ABX Exterior provides up to 15 years of weather protection, helping surfaces stand up to the elements.

  • Primer and finish in one – fewer roducts to buy and apply

    Multi-surface – suitable for a wide range of exterior and interior surfaces

  • Up to 15 years of weather protection – made to last

  • Rust inhibiting – provides protection for ferrous metals such as iron and steel

  • Mould resistant

  • Water-based

  • Up to 12m² coverage per litre

  • Touch dry in 2 hours

  • Recoatable in 4–6 hours

Available in thousands of colours

Getting the right colour is easy. The tinted ABX Exterior range can be mixed to order in 5,223 colours from the Albany colour cards, giving you plenty of options to get the finish you're after.


ABX Exterior is available in 1L, 2.5L and 5L sizes, so you can choose the pack size to suit the job.


Ready for your next multi-surface job?

If you're looking for a paint that can handle more than one surface, Albany ABX Exterior is designed to keep things simple. One product, a wide range of uses and the performance to back it up.
