Full details

This premium paint delivers exceptional durability and a smooth, professional-grade finish, making it an ideal choice for high-traffic trim or furniture.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Can this paint be used on exterior doors?
No, this product is specifically formulated for interior use and is not designed to withstand exterior weather conditions.
Do I need to use a primer?
For bare or previously untreated surfaces, a high-quality primer is recommended to ensure proper adhesion and consistent coverage.
How long does it take to dry?
The paint is quick-drying, but full cure times can vary based on environmental conditions; generally, it is touch-dry within a few hours.
Is this paint washable?
Yes, once the paint has fully cured, the durable eggshell finish can be gently cleaned with a damp cloth and mild detergent.
Can I use this on radiators?
Yes, it is suitable for metal surfaces, provided they are primed correctly and the radiator is turned off and cooled completely before painting.
Troubleshooting
Visible brush marks or streaks
Ensure you are using a high-quality synthetic brush and do not overwork the paint. Apply in long, consistent strokes.
Paint is peeling or not adhering
The surface was likely not cleaned or sanded properly. Sand the area, remove dust, and ensure the surface is primed before reapplying.
Finish appears uneven or patchy
Check if the surface is porous; applying a coat of primer will help seal the surface and provide a more uniform base for the topcoat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before application, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free of grease or loose debris. For wood, light sanding is recommended to improve adhesion. For bare metal surfaces, use a suitable metal primer to prevent oxidation. Apply using a high-quality synthetic brush or a short-pile mohair roller for the best finish.
Clean brushes and equipment with water immediately after use. Once fully cured, the surface can be cleaned using a soft, damp cloth with mild detergent if necessary. Avoid using harsh abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that could compromise the eggshell finish.
