Varnish: Use pink in a variety of ways

Varnishes in pink for different projects

Pink is a colour shade between red and white. Depending on whether the red component of a pink shade predominates or its white component and which other pigments are added, a different colour intensity is created. From very delicate and almost cool shades of pink to powerful, warm old pink, there are an infinite number of shades of pink, which, with their different colour depths and varied colour nuances, make a paint look individual.

Shades of pink are among the colours that often divide opinion. And mostly between men and women. This is because many men initially reject pink colours completely, while many women are enthusiastic about them. However, there are pink colours that also inspire men one hundred per cent. It all depends on the right shade of pink.

Pink colours can be used in a variety of ways indoors and are also suitable for outdoor use with the right paint quality. The MissPompadour collection includes Matt Varnish and Eggshell Varnish, which is also suitable for outdoor use.

Matt Varnish is an indoor varnish that conjures up dull matt, extremely elegant surfaces. Eggshell Varnish is a varnish designed for surfaces subject to particularly heavy wear. It is washable and impact-resistant and is therefore particularly suitable for kitchen furniture, tiles and stairs. You can also use Eggshell Varnish outdoors.

If you value the special effect of chalk paints, our LittlePomp chalk varnishes and our CosyColours collection in soft colour shades are the right choice. They are also designed for indoor use.

MissPompadour also offers a large range of wall paints in pink.

Pink varnishes for wooden furniture

Of course, wooden furniture painted in soft pink or a vibrant pink can have a great effect. All MissPompadour paint qualities are suitable as wood paint. Perhaps you only paint the doors of a piece of dark wood furniture in pink or give an old dressing table a new look with a wood colour in pink.

If you paint your piece of furniture in bright pink, it will attract everyone's attention, while a light shade of rosé like LittlePomp Rose & Fearless will blend discreetly into the room, especially in the children's room. If you want an intense colour shade for your statement piece , but don't want it to be the clichéd pink, take a look at MissPompadour Pink with Peony.

If your wood shows strong stains, for example from knotholes, it is advisable to first prepare the surface with a primer for painting with pink furniture lacquer. The To Bond & Block primer is low-odour and creates an even base for the pink varnish, even on irregular surfaces. It also prevents tannins in the wood from bleeding into the varnish.

LittlePomp's low-odour and low-pollutant chalk varnish, which is available in 2 attractive shades of pink, is recommended for children's rooms. You can use it to paint the doors of cupboards and chests of drawers and perhaps set off the carcass with a white colour.

Paint metal with pink varnishes

Metal objects can also be finished with pink colour shades. How about giving an old metal locker a complete makeover? Paint it with MissPompadour Rose with Warmth, for example, and transform it from a utility item into a design element. You can also paint a radiator in the same colour shade as the wall behind it. This way, each radiator recedes unobtrusively into the wall.

Be sure to prime your metal object with To Bond & Block before painting so that the paint can adhere well to the smooth surface. If the surface is rusty, remove the rust well and use a rust protection primer before applying the primer.

Pink for upcycling plastic surfaces

It takes some courage to paint kitchen furniture in a shade of pink. But a rich, warm old pink colour can really brighten up a kitchen. The great thing is that, after thorough cleaning and a primer coat of To Bond & Block, the Eggshell Varnish from MissPompadour adheres easily to any smooth plastic surface, even to high-gloss surfaces . So nothing stands in the way of your IKEA kitchen makeover!

Painting stone and concrete pink

Stone and concrete can also be painted with pink colours. Perhaps you could simply paint a boring concrete wall in a subtle, grey-brown shade of pink like MissPompadour Rose with Cherry Blossom. You can also finish stone windowsills such as marble or granite with a pink paint. Painting a windowsill tone-on-tone with the wall can have a great effect. A colour shade such as Rose with Brown is suitable for creating a nostalgic atmosphere. You can also redesign tiles with pink tile paint.

All of these smooth surfaces must be primed before painting them with pink varnish. MissPompadour To Bond & Block ensures perfect adhesion of the paint.

Outdoor varnish: using pink outdoors

The MissPompadour varnish quality Eggshell Varnish is also suitable as an outdoor varnish. This paint quality is weatherproof and stable - the only thing that even Eggshell Varnish cannot withstand is standing water. You can therefore paint all surfaces with it from which water can run off easily.

Paint a metal gazebo or garden shed in pink varnish, for example. With a pastel shade such as MissPompadour Rose with Peach Blossom on wrought iron garden furniture, romance will find its way into your garden.
