Type of Paint
Paintman Paint take pride in only producing top quality, hand-mixed paint. Paintman combines the best tints and resin in our formulas. This has produced a paint with outstanding coverage, build and durability.
Paintman endeavours to supply paint that is as close as possible to the original shade. Please be aware, shades may differ depending on viewing device.
We are now able to exclusively offer a choice of Enamel to meet your growing requirements:
- Traditional Synthetic Coach Enamel– Slow drying, giving the traditional element of a long wet edge. This reduces brush marks whilst increasing its self-levelling ability for a perfectly smooth finish. Our premium formula gives superb coverage. In addition to the traditional application methods of brushing and rollering, this product may also be sprayed.
- Ultraspeed Enamel (Spray Only) – A speedy Enamel perfect for those who require a quick turnaround. A 20 minute Flash Off time will allow for a quick turnaround. Paintman’s fast drying formula creates an excellent high build, high-gloss coverage for a range of first-class projects.
- Twentyline Brushing Enamel – Polyurethane based formulation, British Rail Specification 81 approved. Twentyline is designed to protect against harsh conditions including weather, dirt and air pollution. A slow drying, long edge paint giving a superb coverage. Excellent for brush or roller application.
Due to the different resins used, you may experience slight shade variations between Ultraspeed and Coach Enamel.
Additional information of interest
- Primer & Undercoat. We recommend using the closest colour primer & undercoat to your top coat. For LB&SCR Stroudley Improved Green use a light grey primer and brown undercoat
- Spray application. All of our Enamels will need to be thinned by around 5-10% using Paintman Coach Enamel Thinners. This gives a high quality finish whilst maintaining correct drying times.
- Surface Preparation. Surfaces should be made clean and dry before painting. We recommend using Surface cleaner 2800 for painted surfaces or Surface Cleaner 2802 for bare metal. If fully dry, surfaces should be keyed after each layer to maintain adhesion. Prior to painting, wipe the surface with a Tack Rag to remove dust and other loose contaminants.
- Aerosols. Aerosols in all colour variants are available. Special order aerosols are subject to a minimum order quantity of 4, you can order these directly here.
