Custom Coatings & Finishes

Contains pigments usually suspended in linseed oil, a drier, and mineral spirits or other kinds of thinner. The linseed oil serves as the binder for the pigments, the drier controls drying time, the thinner controls the flowing qualities of the paint. As the thinner evaporates, the mixture of pigments and oil gradually dries to an elastic skin. As the oil absorbs oxygen from the air (or cures) the curing action bonds a tough paint film to the applied surface. Oil paints are used inside and outside and are regarded as the traditional house paint.
