Element Guard™

Exterior paint

The exterior coating that does not fear surprise rain or late-season jobs.

Element Guard™

Built for unpredictable conditions: paint 60 minutes before a downpour without losing the coat, and apply down to 1.7 °C — useful to extend the exterior season late into fall and start earlier in spring. Built-in mildewcide for moisture-exposed walls.
