Extreme Paints Oil-Based Satinwood Paint for Durable Finish 5.0 kg

Q: How is Extreme Paints Oil-Based Satinwood different from water-based paints?

This professional-grade alkyd formula provides a smoother, self-levelling finish with longer open time, allowing brush marks to settle and giving a classic satin sheen. Unlike many water-based options, it resists yellowing, abrasion, and moisture for a long-lasting decorative coating.

Q: Can I use this satinwood paint on both interior and exterior surfaces?

Yes, it is formulated for interior and exterior applications, making it ideal for woodwork such as skirting boards, window frames, and doors, as well as properly primed exterior metal surfaces like railings or gates.

Q: Do I need a primer before applying this paint?

For bare wood, a wood primer or undercoat is recommended for maximum adhesion and smoother coverage. Bare or rusty metal surfaces must first be treated with Extreme Paints Metal Oxide Primer to prevent corrosion.

Q: How many coats are required for full coverage?

Two thin coats are recommended to achieve optimal colour depth, film build, and durability. The first coat provides adhesion and base coverage, while the second coat ensures a flawless satin finish.

Q: What is the drying and recoat time?

At an ambient temperature of 18 °C, the paint is touch-dry in 4–6 hours and ready for recoat in 6–8 hours. It can be carefully handled after 24 hours, with full curing achieved in 7 days for maximum hardness.

Q: Is it suitable for use on MDF or cabinets?

Yes, this satinwood paint adheres well to MDF and furniture-grade boards once primed or sealed, making it perfect for cabinets, shelving, and custom joinery projects.

Q: Can it be sprayed for large projects?

Absolutely. The high-solids formulation can be thinned with up to 10% white spirit for HVLP spraying, allowing for smooth, professional finishes on large panels or commercial joinery.

Q: Will this paint yellow over time?

The high-quality alkyd resin contains advanced anti-yellowing additives, offering superior resistance to discolouration compared to standard oil-based finishes, even in areas exposed to sunlight or indoor heat.

Q: How do I clean tools and equipment after application?

Clean all brushes, rollers, and spray equipment immediately after use with white spirit to prevent hardening of the coating. Avoid using water, as this is a solvent-based product.

Q: What coverage can I expect per litre?

On smooth timber surfaces, each litre covers approximately 6–8 m² per coat, depending on surface porosity and application technique.
