Painting Asbestos soil pipe

[Smileysmile]

Urgent.

I'm selling late aunts 1947 bungalow. I've attached a photo of outside asbestos soil pipe which was white but white paint was very badly flaking. I've managed to scrape all paint off. Now I need to paint it white.

Please can someone give me a no primer needed exterior paint to do the job. Thanks

You scraped an asbestos pipe. You must be bonkers! What were you thinking?
Slap some masonry paint on it but don't scrape anymore!
I'd probably go for zinsser allcoat but any masonry paint will do.
Get ready for asbestos survey when buyers show interest.

Asbestos. Don't touch it. Don't disturb it.

Lol and my neighbour watched me and he's a builder.
All old paint is now off. The metal collars that hold pipe are now hammerited.

Can you give me a brand of paint. Maybe a link. Something that adheres to pipe. Preferably one that doesn't need a primer. Probably needs two coats.

BTW what's the side effects having scraped all the paint off asbestos?

We originally sold property but buyers buyers pulled out.

I would think viewers etc thought it might be a cast iron pipe under all the flakey paint.

I appreciate your response. Are you 100% on this type of paint?
It's not cheap. How many litres do you think I need for 2 coats? I don't want to paint it and then it doesn't adhere to it then flakes off within months.

Just checked it out. Screw fix 1L
24.99!
I hope this will give it 2 coats.

1lt will be plenty.
2.5lt will be enough to do a small bedroom walls 2 coats.
It's only a pipe.
500ml or less for 2 coats I'd guess

Top man.
Just ordered to pick up tomorrow. I hope rain holds off

You were probably ok outside with wind blowing.
Probably didn't create dust but the stuff is like Kryptonite.
Honest.
Don't touch it again.
Get a small 4 inch roller and 1.5 inch brush.
Allow 2+ hours between costs. Don't be in a hurry to apply another coat. Better to let first harden.

Live long and prosper. Hope you sell house quicky and easy..

Its me again.

This paint is recoatable after 1 hr, 4 hrs to harden 7 days to fully cure!

It looks like intermittent rain all week.

Is their any paint that you can use in this weather?

I think I might leave it. It's prepped, ready for paint. I'll leave it until we have a dry period and if we have viewers then I'll explain and leave paint for them if they choise to buy. It looks better than before.

I don't think the fact the pipe is asbestos will put them off. It's ready for paint. The bungalow is 76 years old. Not a new build.

Hour and it will take a bit of rain. Outside with a bit of wind it will dry off quickly, but don't be in a rush to get second coat on. I would leave it 2+ hours to dry .
One coat in the morning and one in the afternoon or following day.

 

[Smileysmile]

Too late.
2 coats on. I gave 1.5 hr between coats. 17° outside and bit of wind. Just want rain to hold off.

 

[Wayners]

Be fine even if it rains now.
Looks good

3 hours without rain so far
