Johnstone's Trade Brilliant White Satin Finish
Details:
Johnstone's Trade Satin Finish in Brilliant White is a solvent-based (oil) paint designed for interior wood and metalwork. It provides a durable, washable mid-sheen finish suitable for high-traffic areas.
Here is a detailed breakdown of its key specifications:
Application & Preparation
-
Substrates: It can be applied directly over most previously painted surfaces. For bare surfaces, a suitable primer is required first.
-
Undercoat: For best results and an even finish, using a professional undercoat is often recommended, particularly for new or bare surfaces.
-
VOC & Yellowing: As an oil-based product, it has a high VOC content. While it is formulated to resist yellowing, the alternative Johnstone's Trade Aqua Satin (water-based) is recommended for a finish that stays brilliant white for longer.
Key Differentiators
-
Oil vs. Water-based: This specific product is a traditional oil-based satin, known for its durability and flow, but with a longer recoat time and higher VOC level than its water-based counterpart, "Aqua Satin".
-
Interior vs. Exterior: This "Satin Finish" is strictly for interior use. For exterior woodwork, Johnstone's Trade produces different formulations like Stormshield
