Product Description
Palatine Professional satin paint is a decorative and protective top coat for interior and exterior use on wood or metal. If you’re looking for a contemporary alternative to a high gloss finish, then satin is a good choice. A satin finish means your surface will reflect some light, but won’t have the high ‘mirror’ finish of gloss.
With its high opacity, Palatine Professional satin finish paint provides great looking surface which is touch dry in 3 hours. Because you can use it on both woodwork and metal, it’s great for coordinating different surfaces giving quick drying satin finish paint to skirting boards, architraves, doors, window frames, radiators and more.
Ideal for use as exterior wood paint or metal paint and is highly popular for garage doors and front doors (check out the reviews below). If you are unsure about the differences between various paint finishes? The British Coatings Federation has a good overview here.
Professional Satin Paint Highlights:
- Based on modified alkyd resin, (lead free) containing organic and inorganic pigments
- Provides a durable long term protection, suitable for wood, metal and other surfaces
- Touch dry in 3 hours, providing excellent wet edge and flow out
- Also available in Anthracite Grey RAL 7016
- We can colour match to RAL Classic and BS 381C /Bs 4800 codes
If a matt finish is what you’re after, then Palatine Professional Flat Oil Enamel is a great choice. For a high gloss finish try Truglos Professional Gloss.
Do I need a primer? We usually recommend a primer unless you’re painting over a previously painted surface; in which case, lightly sand before painting.
Please note: The colours shown here are only a guide. This is due to the fact that every computer monitor has a different capability to display colours. In addition, everyone sees these colours differently.

For ever I have used main stream paints from the usual DIY stores and spent every year repainting as they flaked and wore away.
I thought that oil / solvent based paints were messy, difficult to use and an unnecessary expense.
However I have recently used professional painters both at home and work and they all say use oil based paints outside for durability and steer clear of the big brand names.
So I started to look around and realised how difficult it was to find solvent paints in the big DIY chains.
Then I found Palatine Paints online.
Their website explains very clearly, and more importantly, simply what paints I needed.
The delivery was fast and I even got a call to say their website price for delivery had been set too high and refunded me some of what I had paid. A very nice bonus since I had obviously been happy to pay what it said!!
The paints are easy to use, very forgiving of my amateur brush strokes, quick drying and leave an even professional looking finish.
The colour is just what I was looking for and much cheaper than what my ‘specialist paint store’ locally was going to charge me to order some other brand in.
Granted I haven’t tested over a period of time, but so far I have been very impressed and will definitely be ordering again.

The speed of the order and method of delivery was excellent. The paint was securely packaged in a damage resistant container. The colour was a Ral mixed shade and matched exactly the material it was intended for. Paint covered well, dried well and easily applied. An excellent product at a reasonable price.

I bought this paint to cover two short pipes on a tall anthracite designer radiator.
The order was dealt with promptly and there was good communication throughout the process.
The paint arrived in very secure packaging and the color I’d a perfect match.
Very satisfied and will use palatine again.

This is top quality paint, but the RAL 6021 is not RAL 6021. It is every so little bit too pale. I’ve had other batches of RAL 6021 from other sources which have been bang on in colour, but not as nice to work with as this lovely alkyd. You might want to revisit the mix.
