Dulux Quick Dry Gloss Paint For Wood And Metal - Pure Brilliant White 2. 5 Litres

Product Information

Modern synthetic paintbrushes are of little use to apply oil-based gloss. You also need a certain type of roller. So, I thought I’d include a little section on the best brush and roller to go for.

OK, I know I said oil-based gloss turns yellow over time, and it does. But Crown Next Generation takes an awful long time to discolour. Available online, or any Crown Decorating Centre. We’re big fans of the Ronseal One Coat and would recommend it over any other when it comes to gloss for radiators. If you really want a nice finish with this, we’d recommend giving your radiator a clean and sand down any rusty bits leftover from the old paint. Optionally, you can prime the radiator first with something like BIN Primer.Johnstone’s get a rating of 5/5 for durability whilst scoring highly when it comes to ease of use and how easy it is to clean which is essential with British weather!

It used to be a simple choice, but now the range of gloss paint products are exponential. We’re not just talking about more brands (of which there are many), but there are also different types of gloss paint. If you do decide to use a roller, you’ll want to have a specific roller at hand that’s been designed for gloss application. A regular roller is likely to leave little fibres behind during application.

Gloss paint is one of our favourites to use and gives you a nice, shiny finish you wouldn’t get with other types of paint. If you’re looking for something to use in your interior or exterior, this has you covered!

Secondly, you can use one or two coats of a good primer which will help to smooth over the surface before you’re ready to apply the gloss. If working with wood in particular, we tend to sand down the surface again before applying the second coat of primer. Water-based or hybrid gloss products are a bit different. You need a synthetic brush, capable of holding its shape for prolonged periods. There is no point opting for an overly soft bristles either, or you will struggle. I’d suggest the Hamilton Prestige Synthetic Brush, which gives you everything you need at a reasonable price. Available online here. Opacity of the gloss is poor. However, opacity of the primer makes up for it! You can apply multiple coats of either product in a day and the ease of use is brilliant. The best thing about Teknos Futura 90 is, unlike most other hybrid or water-based gloss paints, it has an incredibly high sheen level. It’s very durable too!! It’s a water based paint made from a PU Alkyd Emulsion containing a polymer effective at giving water-borne paints high scratch resistance and film toughness. Whilst you can use a roller for gloss paint, you’ll almost always get the best finish with a paint brush.Whilst we wouldn’t recommend SCRUBBING any paint surfaces, gloss paint is able to withstand a rub down with soap and water

Gloss paint isn’t very good at hiding imperfections so the secret to get a nice smooth finish with gloss paint is to firstly prepare the surface beforehand. You can do this by sanding down any imperfections which takes us to the next step. The Dulux Once Gloss gets our vote when it comes to one coat perfection! It’s easy to apply, has high durability and is easy to wash. You have the traditional oil-based gloss, which turns yellow over time. Water-based gloss, which stays white forever, but generally leaves a substandard finish. Then hybrid gloss, which is a compromise between oil and water.We’ve used this paint in the past and found it’s a particularly good choice when we’re painting in commercial environments due to its speedy dry time. We always get a high quality finish from it and would definitely recommend it. Having used other one coat glosses in the past, we found that the Dulux Once Gloss covers much better and flows over woodwork especially. The benefit of this is that with one coat, you don’t want to be leaving any brush marks which is precisely what this paint achieves. For reasons of hygiene and safety, personal grooming products, cosmetics or items of intimate clothing cannot be returned. It feels as though Johnstone’s Aqua gloss has much more oil in it than Teknos Futura 90. You cannot simply wash a brush out with clean water, as you would with other systems. Instead, you should start off with water, then finish washing out with a product called Clean Spirit. If you’re not an experienced painter and are looking for something that’s not going to leave you with brush marks, this is the paint for you!
