Achieving a Flawless Finish with Haymes Ultratrim Acrylic Enamel

There’s nothing like a fresh coat of paint to breathe new life into a tired space, but let’s be real—not all paints are created equal. Finding one that’s tough, long-lasting, and doesn’t yellow over time? That’s a game-changer. Enter Haymes Ultratrim Acrylic Enamel, the perfect balance between durability and easy application.

Why This Paint Stands Out

Many paints promise durability, but few deliver both strength and convenience. With Ultratrim Acrylic Enamel, you get the best of both worlds. It offers the resilience of an enamel paint while still being water-based, which means it’s easy to apply, dries fast, and doesn’t leave behind that nasty lingering odour.

Fast drying: Say goodbye to waiting hours between coats.
Non-yellowing: Keeps that fresh-painted look for years.
Tough, durable finish: Perfect for high-traffic areas.
Great for timber, trims and metals: Use it indoors or outdoors.

No more worrying about chipped paint or a poor finish. This is the kind of quality you want when tackling anything from skirting boards to exterior trims.

Getting That Professional Look

If you want your painting efforts to look straight out of a magazine, good preparation makes all the difference. Follow these foolproof steps for a smooth application.

1. Prep Like a Pro

A good paint job starts long before you pick up a brush. Clean the surface to remove dust, grease, or old flaking paint. If painting over a glossy finish, sanding lightly will help the new coat stick better.

2. Choose the Right Tools

A high-quality synthetic brush or microfibre roller will help you apply Ultratrim Acrylic Enamel evenly and smoothly. If you’re working on trims or window frames, a smaller brush makes it easier to get into those tight spaces.

3. Apply with Confidence

Avoid overloading your brush or roller. Instead, apply in thin, even coats. Two coats will give the best result, with a light sand in between to ensure a flawless finish.

4. Give It Time

This paint dries quickly, but patience is key. Wait for the recommended drying times between coats to ensure a durable, streak-free result.

Where It Works Best

Versatility is one of the strongest points of Ultratrim Acrylic Enamel. Whether you’re painting interior trims, exterior doors, or metal railings, it’s got you covered. Plus, with both high-gloss and semi-gloss finishes, you can choose the level of shine that suits your project best.

The Finishing Touch

A great paint job isn’t just about colour—it’s about picking a product that stands the test of time. Ultratrim Acrylic Enamel does exactly that, with a durable, non-yellowing finish that keeps everything looking fresh.
