Which is the best Matt Black Paint I can buy in the UK?
For a deep, ultra-flat finish on timber, masonry or primed metal, our UK-made SPO Matt Black acrylic offers top hiding power, low odour and fast drying in just 30 minutes.
Can I use this Matt Black Paint on metal railings outside?
Yes. Prime bare steel with a compatible metal primer, then apply two coats. The acrylic film is non-yellowing and resists weather and washing.
Does it work on interior wood without a primer?
On sound, clean timber you can apply it direct. For oily hardwoods, lightly sand and wipe down first to maximise adhesion.
Is the finish washable?
Once cured (about seven days at 20 °C) the coating can be wiped with mild detergent without polishing up to a sheen.
What coverage should I expect?
Around 10 m² per litre at the recommended 40 micron dry film thickness, depending on surface texture.
What temperature can I paint at?
Apply when the substrate and air are above 7 °C. Touch dry is typically 30 minutes; allow six hours before recoating.
