There has been a growing demand in the market for a superior interior finishes system, specifically in low sheen and semi-gloss options.
The launch of Altex Yacht & Boat Paint’s new Elite Refine 250 Low Sheen & Elite Refine 450 Semi-Gloss is designed to meet this demand head-on. The Elite Refine series are specialised marine finish coatings, based on the sophisticated combination of aliphatic urethanes and urethane reactive acrylic resins, giving a high quality and durable finish coat.
The standout feature of these coatings is that they are ready to use with no flattening agents required, which you would typically need to add to a high gloss marine coating to flatten the gloss level. An added benefit for having a ‘ready-to-use’ low gloss coating is achieving consistent and uniform sheen levels when compared to adding flattening agents, that can have varying sheen with inaccurate measuring.
“DIY’ers are often very impressed with the spray-like finish appearance of this coating”.
William Allcock from Altex recommends the Elite Refine range, a 3:1 mix ratio, typically applied by conventional air spray or by a short nap mohair roller.
