There are specific things we want for our homes. Say you want a paint product for wood or metal surfaces. It needs to be durable yet quick drying, and it should come in a semi-gloss sheen. Does Boysen have a product like that? Of course! Today we’re putting a spotlight on Boysen Semi-Gloss Enamel.
What is Boysen Semi-Gloss Enamel?
An oil-based paint, Boysen Semi-Gloss Enamel comes from the family of alkyd resin paints, similar to Boysen Quick Drying Enamel. These paints are known for their outstanding durability, hiding property, and abrasion resistance. These are the perfect coating for wood and metal furnishings in your home.
For wood surfaces
Your cabinets and doors would benefit from the durability provided by enamel paints. If you don’t want it in a high-gloss finish, you can go for the semi-gloss variant instead.
Like its gloss counterpart, prime with Boysen Flatwall Enamel. Then, use Boysen Plasolux Glazing Putty as putty for correcting minor surface imperfections. Get a full guide for repainting wood or preparing new wood surfaces through their respective links.
For metal surfaces
If you also have a gate, fences, or handrails made of metal, you can use Boysen Semi-Gloss Enamel to give it a durable shine. From the can, the plain white color may be what can give your home a chic look.
Prime bare metal substrates using Boysen Red Oxide Metal Primer or Boysen Rust-Off. Check out the surface preparation guides for new or old metals if you plan on painting. Click on the respective links.
Enamel Paint With A Semi-Gloss Finish
Choosing Boysen Semi-Gloss Enamel means that you prefer a different sheen or kintab for your paint. This product comes in a semi-gloss sheen, unlike the gloss sheen of Boysen Quick Drying Enamel. This means it is not that reflective, but still has moderate shine, as well as retained cleanability.
Paint Finish: What does Sheen, Gloss or Kintab in Paints Mean?
It’s good when you want reduced glare for your exterior metal furnishings, muting the sun’s reflection on surfaces. It will still have dirt pick-up resistance though, meaning it’s smooth and easy to clean. You can also use it for interior rooms, as a high-gloss finish can feel mainit during the daytime.
If you absolutely want an enamel paint with no gloss at all, the primer, Boysen Flatwall Enamel, can be used. It uses the same painting system, so you can use the same primer, putty and colorants as Boysen Semi-Gloss Enamel.
Getting Boysen Semi-Gloss Enamel in Different Colors
If you are not into the plain white color that Boysen Semi-Gloss Enamel is only available in, Boysen Oil Tinting Colors have you covered. You have enough options that can already give color to your homes, and you can mix colors to produce more pastel or medium hues.
You have to mix the colorants yourself, though. Don’t forget the 1:16 ratio as well. The semi-gloss finish has its perks, and we want to make it possible for you to explore different colors.
