Gloss Paint
Gloss paint is the perfect option if you’re looking for a beautiful, high sheen finish. We have a selection of water and oil based formulas that depend on your specific requirements. Oil based are generally more durable, however they take longer to dry and have a stronger odour. So, if you are looking for quicker results with less of an odour, water based will be the most appropriate option. They’re all easy to apply with a brush or roller and we have 1000’s of different colours available. We recommend that you use primer or undercoat paint prior to application.
