Product Features

  • Paint coverage refers to the area a paint can cover with a single coat. It's influenced by factors like paint viscosity and the porosity of the surface. High-quality paints typically offer better coverage, reducing the need for multiple coats and saving time and effort during application.

  • Durability measures how well a paint withstands wear and tear over time. Factors such as resin quality and additives contribute to a paint's ability to resist scratches, scuffs, and fading. Durable paints are essential for high-traffic areas and exterior surfaces exposed to harsh weather conditions.

  • Washability refers to how easily paint can be cleaned without compromising its finish or color. Paints with good washability resist stains and can be cleaned with mild soap and water, making them ideal for areas prone to dirt or moisture, such as kitchens, bathrooms, and children's rooms.

  • Self-leveling paints smooth out imperfections as they dry, creating a uniform surface free of brush marks or roller streaks. This feature is particularly beneficial for achieving a professional finish on cabinets, doors, and trim where a flawless appearance is desired.

  • Low odour paints emit minimal volatile organic compounds (VOCs), reducing unpleasant odours during and after application. They are preferred for indoor painting projects, especially in residential settings where occupants may be sensitive to strong chemical odours.

  • Quick-dry paints dry to the touch within a short time after application, allowing for faster project completion and reduced downtime. This feature is beneficial for busy environments or when multiple coats are required in a short timeframe.

Surface Preparation & Application

For best results, begin with a clean, dry, and sound surface free of dust, grease, or loose material. Remove any peeling paint, repair imperfections, and sand glossy or previously finished areas to ensure proper adhesion. Prime bare wood, metal, or patched substrates before application. Stir well and apply with a high-quality brush, roller, or spray in temperatures above 10 °C (50 °F). Door, Trim & Cabinet Enamel levels smoothly, dries quickly, and provides a hard, durable finish when properly applied.
