Extreme Paints Oil‑Based Satinwood Paint 20.0 kg

Q: Is this oil-based satinwood paint prone to yellowing?

All alkyd-based paints will yellow slightly over time, especially in dark rooms. Magnolia shades help mask this. Light exposure slows yellowing.

Q: Can I apply satinwood paint over a water-based undercoat?

Yes, as long as the undercoat is fully cured and lightly sanded to ensure adhesion.

Q: What’s the minimum application temperature?

Apply at 10 °C or above. Cold conditions may slow curing or cause blooming.

Q: Will the finish self-level for a brush-free look?

Yes, the long-oil formula is designed for excellent levelling. Use a quality synthetic brush and maintain a wet edge.

Q: Is it suitable for painting radiators?

Yes—once fully cured (after 7 days), it withstands heat up to 90 °C.

Q: Can I spray this satinwood paint?

Absolutely. Use HVLP with a 1.8 mm tip or airless (0.013–0.015″). Thin with up to 10 % white spirit if needed.

Q: How can I get a smooth door finish with satinwood?

Sand the primer with P240, tack clean, apply a mist coat, denib with P320, then follow with two full satin coats. Tip off the second coat lightly.

Q: Do I need to sand between coats?

Only if more than 24 h passes. A light de-nib helps promote intercoat adhesion.

Q: Can I add hardener to speed up the cure?

No—this satinwood is a single-pack system. Do not use additives.

Q: When can I clean the painted surface?

Wait at least 7 days before wiping down with a soft cloth and mild detergent.
