DOIGAN Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Hi, What make of wood paint would people recommend? I have heard that Sovereign SX70 is good but God is it expensive, can it be worth the money, or is other products just as good. Thoughts please.

MikeSharp01 Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 We used the 6 coat system from Dulux - brilliant paint but 6 coats - I ask you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobbiniho Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 the standard paint to use up here is valtti opaque https://www.tikkurila.co.uk/decorative_paints/products/valtti_opaque it is a very good paint and lasts a long time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gone West Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 We used Sovereign SX70 white woodstain in the 90s internally and externally on all the windows and doors. It was very easy to use and it never peeled or cracked. It gave a nice satin finish. They may have changed the recipe since then of course.

Onoff Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 I like Bedec Barn Paint but have only used their satin black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
