Multi-Surface Paint: One Formula, Every Material
Multi-surface paint is the most versatile option in decorative painting. Formulated to adhere to a wide range of materials without priming or special preparation, it is the go-to choice for mixed-media projects, upcycling and any creative work that involves more than one type of surface. DeSerres carries a selection of multi-surface paints in a wide range of colours, finishes and formats suited to both beginners and experienced decorative painters.
What Can You Paint with Multi-Surface Paint?
Multi-surface paints are designed to bond with wood, metal, terracotta, plaster, cardboard, fabric and many other materials. They are available in matte, satin and gloss finishes, and many formulas are water-based, making them easy to clean up and safe to use indoors. Some multi-surface paints are also suitable for outdoor use when sealed with an appropriate varnish. For best results on smooth or non-porous surfaces such as glass or glazed ceramic, a surface-specific paint or primer may still be recommended. Multi-surface paints pair well with stencils and templates for clean, repeatable decorative effects. A finishing varnish helps protect the painted surface and extend the life of your project.
