Combining art with hide and seek, the game Meccha Chameleon has been viral recently, and most Filipinos can’t stop associating it with Boysen. Painting yourself to blend in the background has netizens getting reminded of the classic commercials, where painters use a white paint color to hide from someone they don’t like.
Of course, the ad is only a creative and funny depiction of the capabilities of a Boysen paint. The product speaks for itself. Ask a painter to coat walls with a spotless finish, and they would use Boysen’s signature products.
Why Good Hiding Matters for Paints
Imagine living in a home with kids who enjoy scribbling and doodling, not knowing that crayons are hard to remove on a wall. That’s the reality for families with toddlers, and it’s a lot of work for those who want clean walls.
On behalf of all kids (having been once that kid), I apologize. I too made a sketchpad out of the walls of my bedroom, adding to my parents’ stress. When it came to repainting our house during one of our spring-cleaning sessions, it was… no trouble at all! Our walls ended up with a clean finish, as if the scribbles weren’t actually there at all.
That’s why quality paints with good hiding are so important. You do not need to apply multiple coats, ultimately making the process less wasteful, also useful if you DIY home improvements.
If you struggle to properly attain a good finish, the key is to stick to the correct painting process. Follow the surface preparation procedure to ensure paint adheres well on its designated surface.
You shouldn’t also skip on products like a paint’s designated primer, and you should use a product as intended. A common mistake I recall was seeing Boysen Latex Colors used on its own to paint a wood surface. It was not surprising that the hiding was not good enough.
Boysen Products with Good Hiding
For painting wood, good hiding ensures you get to conceal the texture of the material. If you like the texture, you can use stains and clear coats, but folks who want to have a colorful, clean look for their furniture can benefit from the good hiding of paints like Boysen Quick Drying Enamel, and its primer, Boysen Flatwood Enamel.
For metal paints, having good hiding also means the color of the primer gets to be covered completely. We had an inquiry before of someone concerned that Boysen Red Oxide Metal Primer could potentially bleed over the topcoat.

Lettie had to assure them that Boysen’s premium metal paints like Boysen Cool Shades, even when painting with a light color, have good hiding to properly conceal the primer.
For your concrete and drywall, expect nothing less than excellence from Boysen Permacoat Latex, the product heavily featured in Boysen’s classic commercials. The flat white finish is the go-to primer for water-based paints that go on walls like the Boysen Color Series, Boysen Healthy Home or Virtuoso Silk Touch. All these paints can help create clean and beautiful spaces.
