Paint and Paint Finishes

Explore our range of interior and exterior paints and paint finishes for furniture, walls, wood, metal and other suitable surfaces. Our range includes decorative paints, furniture paints, wood and metal paints, primers, specialist coatings and protective finishes from established brands.

Whether you are painting a piece of furniture, decorating an interior wall, refreshing doors and woodwork or choosing a paint for an exterior project, different surfaces and applications require different types of paint. Always check the manufacturer’s instructions to confirm that the product is suitable for your particular surface and location.

Interior Paint

Our range of interior paints includes decorative and specialist finishes for furniture, woodwork, walls and other interior surfaces. Choose from a variety of colours and finishes depending on the appearance and level of durability required.

Furniture paints and decorative paints can be used to transform existing pieces, while specialist primers and preparation products can help provide a suitable surface before applying a topcoat.

Wall Paint

We are expanding our range to include wall paint for interior decorating, providing more options for painting living spaces, bedrooms, hallways and other areas of the home. Choose from different colours and finishes to suit both traditional and contemporary interiors.

When choosing wall paint, consider the type of surface, the room in which it will be used and the finish required. Always follow the manufacturer’s preparation and application instructions.

Furniture Paint

Furniture paint is a popular way to update wooden furniture and decorative pieces without replacing them. Our range includes Annie Sloan Chalk Paint and Annie Sloan Satin Paint, alongside other paints and finishes suitable for furniture projects. Annie Sloan Satin Paint, for example, is designed for interior wood and metal and provides a hard-wearing satin finish.

Furniture painting can be used for everything from individual restoration projects to giving cabinets, tables, chairs and other pieces a completely new appearance.

Exterior Paint

Our expanding range of exterior paint will include products for outdoor wood, metal and other suitable exterior surfaces. Exterior paints can be used for applications such as doors, gates, garden furniture, railings and other outdoor items, depending on the particular product.

Some paints are formulated for both interior and exterior use. For example, some paints are suitable for a range of surfaces and can be used indoors and outdoors, while specialist products are available for particular exterior applications.

Wood Paint

Wood paint can be used to change the colour and appearance of suitable timber while providing a decorative finish. Depending on the product, paints may be suitable for bare wood, previously painted surfaces or specific interior and exterior applications.

For projects where you want to retain the natural appearance of the timber, a wood stain, oil or varnish may be more appropriate than an opaque paint.

Metal Paint

Our range includes metal paints for suitable interior and exterior metal surfaces. Specialist products are available for applications including wrought iron, gates, railings, furniture and other metalwork.

Some products are also formulated for other materials, so check the individual product information for the surfaces it is designed to cover.

Paint Primers

A suitable paint primer can help prepare difficult or previously finished surfaces before applying a topcoat. Our range includes specialist primers such as Zinsser BIN, Bulls Eye 123 and Cover Stain for applications where stain blocking, adhesion or surface preparation is required.

Choosing the correct primer can be particularly important when painting surfaces such as previously painted wood, metal, MDF or surfaces affected by stains.

Decorative Paint Finishes

For decorative projects, our range includes metallic paints, crackle glazes, pearlescent glazes, gilding paints and other specialist finishes. These products can be used to add colour, texture, sheen or decorative effects to suitable surfaces.

Polyvine Metallic Paint and Annie Sloan Pearlescent Glaze are examples of specialist decorative finishes available from Priory Polishes.

Chalk Paint

Annie Sloan Chalk Paint is available in a wide range of colours and is particularly associated with furniture painting and decorative projects. We stock the full range of Chalk Paint colours alongside Chalk Paint Wax, Chalk Paint Lacquer, brushes and other products used as part of a furniture painting project.

Choosing the Right Paint

The right paint depends on the surface you are painting, whether the project is indoors or outdoors, the existing condition of the surface and the finish you want to achieve.

Consider whether you need wall paint, furniture paint, wood paint, metal paint, exterior paint, primer or a decorative finish. Always check the manufacturer’s instructions for surface preparation, compatibility, application and drying before starting your project.
