PLEASE NOTE: This product is for professional use only and is to be applied by approved HV'ART applicators. I acknowledge it is sold by weight (kg) and not by volume (litres), and that 1 kg is equivalent to approximately 900 ml.
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.
This product is designed exclusively for professional use as part of the HV’ART Advanced system. It must be applied by approved HV’ART applicators only.
Areas of Use
HV’ART Lacquer Paint’s primary use is on woodwork and joinery, revitalizing everything from intricate picture frames and detailed skirting boards to substantial doors and staircases. The durable, chemical-resistant properties of this lacquer are especially beneficial for kitchen cabinets and trim, areas prone to heavy use.
Beyond woodwork, it can also be applied to walls, ceilings, and coving, creating a cohesive and sophisticated look throughout a space. Whether refreshing existing surfaces or finishing new construction, it’s an excellent choice.
Prep & Application
Application
Applying HV’ART Advanced Lacquer Paint 90 Ceramic with a brush or roller is straightforward, but attention to detail ensures optimal results. The key to a flawless finish is a thin, uniform coat. Allow the coat to thoroughly cure before subsequent coats in the HV’ART system.
Brush & Roller Application:
- For optimal results, apply two coats of Lacquer Paint using a brush, or roller and tip off with a gilder brush.
- Allow each coat to dry thoroughly before applying the next.
For 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.
For those seeking the ultimate high-gloss effect, a mirror-like finish can be achieved through a precise process of application, sanding with a quality handheld sander, and re-application. This technique elevates the lacquer from a refined finish to a precise, polished surface that celebrates light and colour.
Drying
Drying time for HV’ART Advanced Lacquer Paint 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.
