The Artisan Company is proud to present a range of lacquers beautifully designed & made here in to enhance and protect your precious masterpieces.

The Artisan Company Lacquer is a premium clear, non-yellowing protective top coat. Designed to be used over our range of artisanal paints to create a durable, wipe-able, water-resistant surface with your chosen sheen level to suit your style and aesthetic.

Sheen levels: Matte 4 - 6%, Satin 10- 15%, Gloss 80 - 90%

Available in Matte, Satin & Gloss they are virtually odourless and low in VOC. Our lacquers are created with an easy to use viscosity and are also built to minimise clouding or haziness. Key ingredients have been selected to ensure that our lacquers provide our customers with a strong protective top coat over their beautiful painted finishes, so much so we recommend wiping the rim of your can clean each time to ensure you can open it again!
If you are working on an outdoor project, need a hardy durable surface or working on a high use piece like a dining table, consider finishing with our Premium Lacquers.

Typical Uses :

- For exterior/interior surfaces over Artisanal Paints & Chalk Paints where a durable clear top coat finish is required

- Can also be used on other prepared surfaces such as raw wood, native wooden trims, Rimu/ Kauri, , window frames, doors, furniture.
