Leyland Trade Fast Drying Satin - Brilliant White 750ml

Product Information

Eggshell paints are closer in sheen to satinwood, but are a little more matte. Again, these are better suited to walls and ceilings as they aren’t as durable as satinwood. What do I need to consider when choosing a satinwood paint? This satinwood paint from Leyland is an excellent all-rounder. Suitable for almost all projects, it’s easy to use, long-lasting and durable. While it will need two coats to get the fullest coverage, a little goes a very long way, and as you don’t need to use primer, it’s great for those on a budget. How long does the painted surface need to cure before it can be exposed to water? It is recommended to allow the painted surface to cure for at least 7 days before exposing it to water or cleaning. This ensures the paint fully dries and achieves maximum durability. Perhaps the best feature of the Aqua Satin range, though, is the incredibly wide variety of colours. While there’s an impressive range of neutrals and pastels, you can also find this satinwood paint in everything from rich, dark reds to bold, bright blues, making it perfect for those looking to create a unique and vibrant space.

One particular success story is when I used this Leyland Satin paint on an indoor pool area. It took a few coats, but it was perfect for the job. The finish was a soft satin that was pleasant to the eye and, as far as I’m aware, is still looking good a year on. Final Thoughts Whether you’re touching up the skirting boards or planning a big interior redesign, finding the best satinwood paint for your specific project is key. And while you’d be forgiven for not spotting the difference between the various brands of mid-sheen white, choosing the right paint will make the painting process and end result that much better. Whether you’re breathing new life into upcycled and renovated wooden furniture or giving rusty metal work a new long-lasting weather protected finish, our durable paint can aid the transformation. Our interior and exterior wood paint can be used for a variety of surfaces, including wooden furniture, doors and floors, that are made from hardwood or softwood. Our selection of metal paint is the ideal choice for touching up wrought iron, cast iron, aluminium or galvanised metals. Discover our oil-based, water-based, acrylic and chalk paint to find the most appropriate for your project. Leyland Fast Drying Satin will not adhere directly to old oil-based gloss or similar coatings, so you should use an adhesion primer if you intend to coat problem surfaces. Leyland recommend the use of its own “fast drying undercoat”, which is a fitting name really.For such a great paint, it’s disappointing that it doesn’t come in any colours other than the standard pure brilliant white. But the elegant, soft mid-sheen and almost velvety-looking finish make it perfect for any home. It’s oil-based, so brushes will need to be cleaned with brush cleaner, and as with all oil-based paints, you should also make sure you keep the area well ventilated while painting and drying. After it’s fully dry, any future scuff marks or stains can be cleaned off without damaging the paint, making it perfect for high-traffic areas. This Dulux paint will usually only need one or two coats, and is ready to recoat after six hours, meaning you can easily complete a decent-sized painting project in under a day. Cleaning up is a cinch, too. Given the great sheen and decent coverage, you may be surprised to hear that this satinwood paint is actually water-based, meaning brushes and rollers can be cleaned with just soapy water. Satinwood paints can either be oil- or water-based. While both can be used for most jobs, it’s always worth reading the tin to make sure the paint you’ve chosen is suitable for what you have in mind.

Free sachet delivery is available on all Rust-Oleum sachets. These are shipped direct from the manufacturer using Whistl. Can take 5-10 working days. It’s hard-wearing, easy to clean and usually very straightforward to use. While it’s most commonly found in only one or two shades of white, some brands offer a wider range of colours, giving you the option to truly personalise your space. Does this paint have a strong odor? No, this paint has a low odor formulation, making it suitable for indoor use without causing strong odors or discomfort.

The best satinwood paint you can buy in 2023

Ensure proper surface preparation by cleaning and, if necessary, sanding the surface before painting. Leyland and Johnstone’s paints are both manufactured by PPG, Leyland being the budget brand, and Johnstone’s being the premium. The alternative to Leyland Fast Drying Satin is a product called Johnstone’s Aqua guard. Aqua Guard is probably the brand leader amongst trade professionals, and it’s a product I can vouch for.
