Quick Dry Satin Wood & Metal Paint - Brilliant White - 2.5L

Paint is paint?? I always thought so. Wanted some gloss. Bought cheap xan from local shop was the usual but needed a lot more so went to my usual Amazon next day as nowhere local did paint. Looked at reviews and was gonna buy that dog one one coat 😜 but saw a review about this n bought!! I’m 59 and over the years used so many paints hate glossing but this paint is amazing!! Beautiful ice white and really is one coat, dries super quick. Will never use another paint now!! Buy in confidence this won’t let you down!! I love glossing now 😁 the texture great and the whitest paint just love it!! Painted over a dark grey n expected to have to paint a 100 coats, nope done in one!!

Brilliant paint, would definitely recommend. Brilliant white and seems to stay white. Covers really well but still needs 2 coats. No odor and easy to use and clean up after.

I recently used Johnstone's Quick Dry Satin in Brilliant White for a home renovation project, and it exceeded my expectations in every way. This paint is a fantastic choice for anyone looking to achieve a beautiful, durable finish on interior wood, metal, or even radiators. Here’s why I’m so impressed with this product: No Separate Undercoat Needed One of the biggest advantages of Johnstone's Quick Dry Satin is that it doesn’t require a separate undercoat. This is a huge time-saver, especially when tackling large projects. I was able to apply the paint directly to the surface, and it adhered perfectly, providing excellent coverage with just two coats. The finish was smooth and even, without any signs of streaking or patchiness. Not having to worry about an undercoat made the entire painting process faster and more straightforward. Easy Application The application of this paint is incredibly easy. The consistency is just right—not too thick or too runny—which made it a pleasure to work with. Whether I was using a brush or a roller, the paint glided on effortlessly, covering the surface with minimal effort. The satin finish looks fantastic, providing a subtle sheen that enhances the appearance of wood and metal surfaces. I was particularly pleased with how well it worked on radiators, giving them a fresh, modern look. Quick Drying Time Another standout feature of this paint is its quick drying time. It dries to the touch in just 1-2 hours, which allowed me to finish my project in record time. This quick turnaround is perfect for those who need to complete a project in a day or simply don’t want to wait long between coats. Despite the fast drying time, the paint doesn’t compromise on quality—each coat dries evenly and adheres well to the surface. Easy Cleanup Cleanup was a breeze with this water-based paint. Brushes and rollers washed out easily with just soap and water, leaving no residue behind. This made the whole painting process much less of a chore, and I appreciated not having to deal with strong solvents or lingering odors. The low-odor formula is another plus, making it much more pleasant to work with indoors. Impressive Coverage With a coverage of up to 12m² per litre, the 2.5L tin provided more than enough paint for my project. I was able to cover multiple doors, trim, and a couple of radiators with plenty of paint to spare. The brilliant white color is truly brilliant—it’s a clean, crisp white that brightens up any space and holds up well over time. Final Thoughts Overall, Johnstone's Quick Dry Satin in Brilliant White is a top-notch paint that delivers on all fronts. The no-undercoat-needed feature, easy application, quick drying time, and hassle-free cleanup make it an ideal choice for both DIY enthusiasts and professionals alike. Whether you’re painting wood, metal, or radiators, this paint provides a beautiful, durable finish that you’ll be proud of. I'll definitely be using this from now on for all my internal painting projects.

Excellent value for money great coverage quick drying would recommend

After years using gloss someone suggested using satin as it doesn’t fade in the same way but still gives a very crisp clean finish that age is far better than normal gloss. They were definitely right. This goes on easily drives quickly and just gives a very clean bright finish that is durable and easy to clean rather than simply needing to repaint

As described Great value for money Excellent delivery

The best I can say about this stuff is that it's okay-ish. It dries quickly (possibly a bit too quickly) and, unlike some of the other reviewers, I found it didn't drip. Make sure to give it a good stir. However, it doesn't cover particularly well, needing at least two coats, even over sound, un-yellowed white paint. Would I use it again? I'd have to say no, unfortunately.
