Product Description
Palatine Professional Matt Paint is a solvent-borne, matt, flat oil enamel. It is formulated as a decorative top coat whilst also providing durable long term protection. This matt paint is suitable for interior and exterior use for wood, metal and other surfaces and available in black, white and a wide range of colours.
Often referred to as ‘matt black’ our flat oil enamel is also available in colour with our facility to match to RAL / BS colour codes.

Preparation:
Proper surface preparation is essential for the success of any protective coating system. Before you begin ensure the area is free from any dust, oil, grease, old coatings and surface contaminants.
The preparation of steelwork prior to painting generally falls into two main areas; that of degreasing and the removal of rust and scale.
All surfaces to be painted should be clean, dry and free from loose and flaking material, dust, grease and millscale, etc.
Prime bare surfaces with Palatine Anti-Corrosive Metal Primer or Palatine All Purpose Primer / Undercoat in accordance with our recommendations
For non-ferrous metals use Palatine Fast Dry etching primer.
Rub down previously gloss painted surfaces with fine waterproof abrasive paper and rinse thoroughly.
Application:
Best results are obtained in warm (minimum 10°C), dry conditions.
Mix thoroughly for approximately 2 minutes using a drill stirrer. A wooden batten at least 25mm wide is also ideal.
Apply an even coat using a brush, short to medium pile roller on smooth surfaces and a long pile roller on textured surfaces
For spray application by either airless or conventional spray a dilution ration of no more than 10% is recommended with Palatine White Spirit by volume applying thin coats allowing each one to dry before applying subsequent coats.
Once dried, a second coat can be applied at full strength. This will prolong the life and performance of the coating.
Thinning and Cleaning: Use Palatine White Spirit.
If using more than one batch of the same colour, intermix before use
Please note: The colours on the product listings are only given as a guide. This is due to the fact that every computer monitor has a different capability to display colours. In addition, everyone sees these colours differently. Sample pots are available to order upon request. Always carry out a test patch (approximately 100x100mm) before full application
to ensure compatibility with previous coatings and the substrate, and to ensure the colour achieved meets your requirements. Failure to do so will result in a product refund claim not being accepted.

Professional flat enamel – purchased this paint twice now for a large decking area at home. Always easy to apply, awesome coverage and opacity. All in all, great results that generate many compliments from family and friends. Palatine paints are my go to for quality affordable devorative paints and painting products. Also excellent customer service, technical guidance and communication

used for a panelled internal wall, wanted a matt finish, this is superb quality paint, and i mean better than dulux , crown, johnsons ETC…. super quick delivery…. Wonder if they can match farrow and ball colours?

Great service and great product. Coverage is good and finish is matt in the extreme, just what I wanted. Drying time (18ºC) quicker than suggested and “unique delayed wet edge” didn’t seem to make much difference, so best to apply quite quickly. I painted a staircase and, as expected, the finish shows scuff marks, although this tendency seems to reduce as the paint hardens over time. Cleaning with warm soapy water does not affect the matt finish. I’ll use this again.

Solid oil based paint for exterior use. Done my drain pipes in matt black, which has a mild eggshell finish. Excellent paint. Use it all the time. My decorator loves it.
