Trusheen Premium Vinyl Silk Emulsion is a high quality, full bodied, silk finish emulsion. Formulated to provide a trade quality finish, Trusheen has high opacity and coverage power. So you can cover large areas fast while maintaining quality. Trusheen Premium Vinyl Silk Emulsion is wipeable and hardwearing which means it is ideal for both residential and commercial projects. While this emulsion gives a silk finish, we also have a Matt finish available. A silk finish is less flat and reflects light a little more than matt. You may also find it is easier to wipe down than matt. Great for keeping things looking fresh.

Do I need a primer on a wall or ceiling? It’s always wise to use an under coat unless you’re overpainting a similar colour and finish. Our All purpose primer/undercoat is recommended. Before applying emulsion to a previously painted wall or ceiling, ensure it is clean and dust free. Sugar soap is ideal for cleaning previously painted walls. Check for cracks or holes and fill with appropriate filler. Rub down and remove dust. Apply paint in smooth strokes with a roller or brush and allow to dry before applying a second coat.
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.
Preparation
General Surfaces: Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and other contaminants. Sugar soap is recommended for cleaning previously painted walls.
Surface Repairs: Check for cracks or holes and fill with an appropriate filler. Rub down smooth and remove all dust.
Previously Painted Surfaces: Gloss and oil-painted surfaces must be washed clean and rubbed down to provide a “key.”
Flaky or Powdery Surfaces: These should be primed prior to painting. Palatine’s All-Purpose Primer/Undercoat is recommended.
Porous Surfaces/New Work: For the first coat, thin the paint with up to 20% clean water to seal the surface (avoid over-thinning).
Mixing: Stir the paint well before application. If using more than one batch of the same colour, intermix them first to ensure consistency.
Application
Methods: Apply by brush, pad, roller, or spray.
* Brush/Pad: Load generously and avoid over-spreading.
* Roller: Load generously and apply evenly. Use a deep pile roller for textured surfaces.
Technique: Apply in smooth strokes and work the paint well into the surface.
