One of the most common substrates that we use for our homes is wood. Here is Bea showing Boysen’s two paint systems for this type of surface.
Boysen’s Enamel-Based Paint System
There are two products that you can use for wood, found in both interiors and exteriors. It’s the enamel-based paint system. The Boysen Flatwall enamel serves as the primer. The Boysen Quick Drying Enamel is the topcoat.
We’ve written about these two products in so many of the articles in this blog. It’s because wood is found in many areas in our homes, like doors, walls, ceilings, floors, cabinets, and so on.
What the enamel-based paint system can do is to protect and beautify the surfaces mentioned.
Inform yourself more about these products by reading the following posts. It is always good to know what to expect.

An added advantage to this enamel-based system is this can also be used for metal. Think about your metal gates, for example.
Boysen’s Acrylic-Based Paint System
Usually, the acrylic-based paint system is NOT recommended for wood surfaces.
But because of Boysen WoodPrime which you can use as a primer, you can then use Boysen Permacoat Latex paint as topcoat.

You can use it on trims, moldings, and baseboards. Avoid using it on high-traffic areas like floors, cabinets, or furniture. It can withstand wood tannin so no brownish discoloration will seep through the topcoat. Another big plus for WoodPrime is it does not have a strong smell.
Which Paint System to Use
To decide which paint system to use, think of your project. If you want durability, go for the enamel-based system. But if ease of use is your driver, then the acrylic-based paint system is your best bet. Watch the video to get a clearer picture of what wood paint system you should be using.
