Topcoat

Topcoat for paints and chalk paint

Our paints are generally extremely durable. This means you can easily wipe away stains on the wall with a damp cloth. Plus, any small blemishes can be touched up effortlessly at any time. You'll see that the fresh paint blends in perfectly with the rest, making the touch-up invisible after a short time. As a general rule: the glossier a paint is, the more robust and easy to clean it will be.

Why you need a topcoat

Even so, there are some areas where applying a topcoat makes perfect sense. For instance, if you're painting a kitchen splashback that is often exposed to water splashes, we recommend a topcoat of MissPompadour To Seal. This topcoat is transparent and satin-matt.

If you want to paint a wooden or metal item that will get a lot of wear and tear – like a chair or a bookcase where books are constantly being moved – you should always protect the surface with a clear varnish.

Matt clear varnish as a topcoat

If you want to make a painted surface even more durable, we recommend giving it extra protection with To Seal – especially for painted floor tiles, kitchen worktops, and similar areas. This also makes the surface more resistant to dirt and very easy to clean.

Furniture, kitchen cabinets, or other items finished with matt paint or chalk paint can also be sealed with a clear wax. While this means the surface loses a little of its ultra-matt look, it gains a beautifully soft, elegant sheen in return.
