Profinish Satin paint is a decorative and protective top coat for interior and exterior use on wood or metal. If you’re looking for a contemporary alternative to a high gloss finish, then satin is a good choice. A satin finish means your surface will reflect some light, but won’t have the high ‘mirror’ finish of gloss. Professional satin finish paint is available in many colours, including black, white, and anthracite grey.
With its high opacity, Profinish Satin paint provides great looking surface which is touch dry in 3 hours. Because you can use it on both woodwork and metal, it’s great for coordinating different surfaces giving quick drying satin finish paint to skirting boards, architraves, doors, window frames, radiators and more.
Ideal for use as exterior wood paint or metal paint and is highly popular for garage doors and front doors (check out the reviews below). If you are unsure about the differences between various paint finishes? The British Coatings Federation has a good overview here.
Profinish Satin Paint Highlights:
Based on modified alkyd resin, (lead free) containing organic and inorganic pigments
Provides a durable long term protection, suitable for wood, metal and other surfaces
Touch dry in 3 hours, providing excellent wet edge and flow out
Professional Satin Paint is available many colours, including white, black and anthracite grey RAL 7016
We can colour match to RAL Classic and BS 381C /Bs 4800 codes
Do I need a primer? We usually recommend a primer unless you’re painting over a previously painted surface; in which case, lightly sand before painting.
Please note: The colours shown here are only 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.

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.
Colours Available: BS 381C, BS4800 and Ral Classic range.

For ever I have used main stream paints from the usual DIY stores and spent every year repainting as they flaked and wore away.
I thought that oil / solvent based paints were messy, difficult to use and an unnecessary expense.
However I have recently used professional painters both at home and work and they all say use oil based paints outside for durability and steer clear of the big brand names.
So I started to look around and realised how difficult it was to find solvent paints in the big DIY chains.
Then I found Palatine Paints online.
Their website explains very clearly, and more importantly, simply what paints I needed.
The delivery was fast and I even got a call to say their website price for delivery had been set too high and refunded me some of what I had paid. A very nice bonus since I had obviously been happy to pay what it said!!
The paints are easy to use, very forgiving of my amateur brush strokes, quick drying and leave an even professional looking finish.
The colour is just what I was looking for and much cheaper than what my ‘specialist paint store’ locally was going to charge me to order some other brand in.
Granted I haven’t tested over a period of time, but so far I have been very impressed and will definitely be ordering again.

The speed of the order and method of delivery was excellent. The paint was securely packaged in a damage resistant container. The colour was a Ral mixed shade and matched exactly the material it was intended for. Paint covered well, dried well and easily applied. An excellent product at a reasonable price.

I bought this paint to cover two short pipes on a tall anthracite designer radiator.
The order was dealt with promptly and there was good communication throughout the process.
The paint arrived in very secure packaging and the color I’d a perfect match.
Very satisfied and will use palatine again.

This is top quality paint, but the RAL 6021 is not RAL 6021. It is every so little bit too pale. I’ve had other batches of RAL 6021 from other sources which have been bang on in colour, but not as nice to work with as this lovely alkyd. You might want to revisit the mix.
