A reflective sheen on cabinet surfaces looks pristine and easy to maintain. It’s so high-gloss, you could see your own reflection on the surface. Homeowners have turned into this to instantly elevate a room. If you’re also into it, take note of the products needed for a duco finish, the paint film that’s clean yet super stylish.
Of course, you’ll be needing Boysen Automotive Lacquer, the designated product for painting to a high-gloss finish. Though just like any painting system, there are specific products you need to use during the entirety of the project to ensure you get the beautiful coating you want.
Boysen Paint and Varnish Remover When Repainting
If a duco finish is something you want out of a repainting project, you’ll need to use Boysen Paint and Varnish Remover to strip off existing old paint before proceeding with applying the lacquer system.
Painting over old paint won’t suffice, as it will affect adherence of the topcoat. You’ll also get to remove primers that aren’t compatible with the Automotive Lacquer paint you’ll be applying.
Boysen Lacquer Flo to Deal with Moisture
A problem often encountered when coating wood with lacquer products is moisture blushing. Despite the hiding a duco finish provides, you can still encounter cloud-like stains beneath the film when painting in humid conditions.
To avoid this, mix Boysen Automotive Lacquer with Boysen Lacquer Flo. It slows down the drying process but prevents moisture entrapment, ensuring a clean finish. Check out this article for tips and tricks when using the ingenious product.
Boysen Lacquer Primer Surfacer to Prime Wood Surfaces
To provide an excellent foundation for your topcoat, the designated primer for a duco finish is Boysen Lacquer Primer Surfacer.
It’s also worth mentioning that Automotive Lacquer is a nitrocellulose lacquer-based paint. Maximum safety is needed when working with lacquer due to its flammability. Don’t forget to store these paints properly as well.
Boysen Lacquer Spot Putty to Correct Imperfections on Wood
Unevenness on surfaces is expected, especially with repainting wood. The designated putty for a duco finish is Boysen Lacquer Spot Putty, used for correcting imperfections.
It’s easy to apply and high-quality. Don’t forget to sand properly once it dries. Spot prime with Boysen Lacquer Primer Surfacer afterwards.
Boysen Lacquer Thinner for Easier Spray Application
To get an even duco finish, Automotive Lacquer is intended to be applied using spray. This means you need to reduce the paint using Boysen Lacquer Thinner before loading it up using a spray
Thinners also function as clean-up solvents. You can wipe off lacquer stains from surfaces that may have been unintentionally sprayed on.
Boysen Automotive Lacquer Tinting Colors for Variety
Boysen’s duco finish paints are only readily available as white. However, mixing Boysen Automotive Lacquer Tinting Colors, while following the correct 1:4 ratio, allows for more color options.
While white is the preferred color of interiors recently, who says color enthusiasts can’t have fun? A duco finish is just as gorgeous in color.
