Lovely colour. Size of it - really small but enough even to put 4 coat. I put 3. Very easy to use and dry really quickly. I could close the door completely after 2 hours. Touch dry after arround 30 min.

If like me you were wondering whether a composite door can be restored to look like new than the answer is a definite yes. Fantastic product. See pictures for results.Just to make you aware that this product dries very quickly ( around 5-10mins). I started at the bottom of the door as that needed for intention and thus more coats. By the time I got half way up I was ready to give the bottom part a second coat.The colour is oak-dark oak.My original door colour looked dark brown and I was concerned this colour wasn't dark enough to match it so I bought the chocolate colour and the black with the intention of mixing until I got the right shade it but was a perfect match.Very happy with the results and I just hope it will last but I get the impression it would.Ps. Half a can did the whole door and I gave it 3-4 coats in some areas and at least 2 coats all over

Excellent for a colour of chocolatesadly Very water bases, will require a lot and lots and lots of coats.doesnt matter how tidy you are it sticks on your skin like glueand it really hurt when you try and get it off no matter how little is on ur handsits took a lot of scrubbing to remove, never have i had a gloss like this with staying power even if i had gloves onto be honest i am guttedbecause i love the colour and i really wantec this gloss to work , i didnt rush and took my time , and now i will have to sand my wood down and start again which i not happy about as i read the tin before hand .

I’ve used Rustin’s wood dye in the past and I thought I’d give their small job white gloss a go on door frames and skirting boards due to the quick drying time. I picked Rustin’s after having bad experiences with the big brands water based gloss, which wasn’t glossy.Before doing the door frames and skirtings, I used it to freshen up a very yellow radiator. To get a perfect finish it took 3 coats of this gloss over the undercoat. But the finish is almost as glossy as the solvent based paints of yesteryear.I followed the same process on my door frames, skirting boards and extended my project to my external meter cupboard doors. I can honestly say I’m equally pleased with those.As long as this retains its whiteness it’ll become my go to gloss paint.For a gloss paint it has very little odour. I think the smaller tins are an advantage as they’re easier to work with and any dirt contamination when working outside doesn’t spoil loads of paint.It’s very forgiving to use but you need to work in small sections to avoid “dragging” due to the quick drying times. More thin coats gave the best finish for me.

Bought this paint in several colours to paint a mud kitchen we made for a friend’s daughter as we wanted a project in lockdown! Although it’s nowhere near as pink as the tin, once dry and next to the white paint it is definitely pink and I think she’ll love it. Yes the pink was thinner than the white but it dried really quick so I was able to start second coating the bits that needed it by the time I’d finished a first coat. This was on a lovey sunny day though and the wood has been well sanded down before hand.

Bought this paint to coat the side of my interior door frames where the previous owner had emulsioned them magnolia. Bearing in mind the doors and the rest of the frames are dark wood stain, I bought the chocolate colour paint. Pleased to say this paint worked well, covered the awful magnolia emulsion in 2 coats and blended well with the dark wood stain. Also used it to touch up the skirting boards and paint over some white caulk used to fill gaps along the staircase. The paint was a good consistency, easy to use and gave great results. Brushes wash out with water.

Normally a Tin Of Gloss White Paint ranges from £6+ upwards but this Tin of Gloss is a real bargain.After you've given it a stir it's ready to use. Doesn't drip excessively.Perfect in Colour a Bright White not yellowly atall. Perfect for touch ups around the house & small projects.
