The mentioned coating system is just one example; other systems are available. Please refer to the relevant Technical Data Sheets and consult the HV’ART Contact Us Page for advice on suitable coating systems.
Some wood species may exhibit discoloration due to natural extractives, which can be prevented by using an isolating sealer and mid-coat. Ensure all external materials in contact with the coating system, such as putty, adhesive tapes, sealants, and cleaners, are tested for compatibility by the user to avoid any adverse reactions.

HV’ART Advanced Furnitura is a versatile product suitable for a wide range of applications and is available in four distinct sheens, each designed to achieve a specific aesthetic:
-
10 Honed (Matte): This finish offers a soft, muted presence perfect for refined furniture work, enhancing form without distracting from it
-
15 Classic (Semi-matte): Ideal for kitchens and high-traffic areas, this sheen provides a balanced, resilient, and timeless finish
-
40 Quartz: For a clean, confident polish, this finish is a great choice for contemporary interiors, lending definition and surface clarity
-
90 Brilliante: Creates a bold, high-shine statement surface with incredible depth, suitable for both furniture and architectural joinery
Why We Measure in Kilograms (kg):
Unlike many paints sold by volume (Liters), our HV’ART advanced range is measured by weight (KG). We use higher-quality, denser materials and a greater concentration of solid pigments and binders. This means you are getting more of the “good stuff” that stays on the wall, and less of the liquid that evaporates. Consequently, 1 kg of our dense, high-quality paint has a volume of approximately 900 ml.
Areas of Use
HV’ART Lacquer Paint is a versatile interior finish suitable for a wide range of surfaces, transforming ordinary spaces with its elegant, smooth finish. It has been crafted for use on Furniture, Cabinetry and Decorative Pieces.
The Sheens
-
10 Honed is a for refined furniture work and it delivers a gentle, softened sheen that complements the character of fine furniture and cabinetry. It’s a quiet finish — neither flat nor glossy — offering a calm, muted presence with just enough light response to define shape and surface. This is a finish that feels carefully considered, enhancing the form without ever distracting from it. Crafted for furniture that’s meant to be lived with, not simply looked at.
-
15 Classic is the quietly confident standard for painted furniture — especially kitchens, where subtle polish and day-to-day durability are both essential. With a balanced sheen that’s neither too flat nor too reflective, it gives cabinetry and fitted pieces a smart, composed finish. This is the finish we’ve trusted for thousands of kitchens over the years — refined, resilient, and timelessly right.
-
40 Quartz is for contemporary detailing and delivers a clean, confident polish for cabinetry and furniture with a sharper visual edge. With its full semi-gloss finish, it lends definition and surface clarity without tipping into glossiness. This is the choice for tailored interiors, where finish is part of the design language — precise, polished, and beautifully composed.
-
90 Brilliante is for statement surfaces. It delivers a bold, high-shine surface with depth and pigment. It can also be used on architectural joinery, wall panels, or backs of doors — especially in japanned schemes — where gloss becomes part of the visual language. While not as crystal-clear as japanning lacquer, it offers a beautifully expressive finish when applied over a well-prepared base. This is a gloss that celebrates the surface — precise, polished, and full of intention.
Prep & Application
Preparation
Prepare the substrate by thoroughly cleaning it to remove any grease, wax, or resins. Use sharp milling tools to minimise fibre lift. For best results, sand the substrate with 180-240 grit sandpaper before milling.
Application
Brush & Roller Application:
- For optimal results, apply one coat of Lacquer Paint using a brush/roller, roller & tip off with glider (soft brush). See the HV’ART website for brushes & tools details.
- Allow each coat to dry thoroughly before applying the next.
Spray Application:
- Apply thin, even coats, avoiding excessive product build-up in a single application or wet-on-wet coating systems. For optimal results, use the product undiluted. Focus on achieving ideal application conditions that maximise product atomisation.
- Pre-atomisers and pre-heaters (set between 30 and 40°C) improve application consistency throughout the year. Lower temperatures, high relative humidity, or the application of a third coat can extend drying times. Ensure adequate ventilation during drying by completely exchanging the air in the drying room every 15-20 minutes.
Please note: Recommended crosslink with HV’ART Advanced Hardener Crosslinker (HVCRHRD) @ 2% for extra chemical resistance.
Drying
Drying time for HV’ART Advanced Furnitura varies depending on film thickness and environmental conditions:
- Substrates with high extractive content or application in damp/cold weather may extend drying.
- Ensure adequate temperature and ventilation throughout the process.
- Insufficient drying conditions can lead to coating damage.
