Product Description
Our Professional Coach Enamel Paint is a gloss finish coating designed for classic vehicle restoration. It is suitable for a range of vehicle types, including cars, tractors, motorbikes and railway locomotives.
With a highly durable finish, our coach enamel will endure harsh weather conditions and protect the metal underneath. The gloss finish provides an appealing finish to vehicles, making this paint ideal for restoration projects.
Our coach enamel is easily applied by brush or roller to suit your preference or the area being painted.

Benefits of using coach enamel:
- Coach enamel is highly durable and resistant to scratching, chipping, and fading. This makes it ideal for applications where the coated surface will be subjected to wear and tear, such as on vehicles, signage, or outdoor furniture.
- Coach enamel is highly resistant to weathering, including exposure to sunlight, rain, and extreme temperatures. This makes it suitable for outdoor use without significant deterioration over time.
- Due to its durability and resistance to various environmental factors, coach enamel coatings can last for many years without needing to be replaced or recoated. This can result in cost savings over time compared to other types of coatings that may require more frequent maintenance or replacement.
- Once applied, coach enamel requires minimal maintenance to keep it looking its best. It can be easily cleaned with mild soap and water, and any minor scratches or imperfections can often be buffed out to restore the finish.

Coverage / Drying Times:
Surface Dry: 2 hours
Hard Dry: 8 hours
Overcoat: after 12 hours
Keep coated areas dry for a minimum of 24 hours following application.
Please note, drying times will be extended at low temperatures. Do not apply when ambient temperature falls below 10ºC
Theoretical Coverage: 12 – 14m² per litre.
(Coverage rate can be affected by such variables as type and condition of substrate, type of application equipment and individual method of application.)
Surface Preparation
On previously painted surfaces, ensure it is sound and non-flaking. Abrade the surface preferably by mechanical abrasion to provide a “key” and maximise adhesion of the subsequent coating.
Mixing
Stir the paint with a drill stirrer or wooden baton at least 2” wide. Continue to stir during application.
Application
Apply a nice even coat by brush or roller . Use a paint brush for cutting in. Avoid applying the paint too thickly to avoid delaying drying times. The second coat can be applied as soon as the first coat is hard dry after 6-24 hours, and should be applied within 5 days. If more than 5 days elapse, the first coat should be lightly abraded before the second coat is applied. Avoid washing the surface for 7 days.
Preceding Coat
For bare metal apply Carboxide Metal Primer. If the colour of the surface is being altered to a high variation or if surface is pitted use Carboxide All Purpose Primer Undercoat.
Subsequent Coat
For increased surface protection and film thickness apply Palatine Polyurethane Varnish
Application Methods
Brush, Roller, Airless or Conventional Spray
Airless Spray: Output fluid pressure at tip 1800-2000 psi, Tip Size 0.017″ -0.021″ (0.43-0.53 mm)
Application by brush can achieve up to 75 microns dft
When applying by roller, use a solvent resistant sleeve.
Avoid excessive film thickness as this will cause through-drying problems
Please note: The colours on the product listings are only given as 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. Sample pots are available to order upon request. Always carry out a test patch (approximately 100x100mm) before full application to ensure compatibility with previous coatings and the substrate, and to ensure the colour achieved meets your requirements. Failure to do so will result in a product refund claim not being accepted.
