Choosing the right paint is the key to a durable, beautiful, and safe finish. But with so many formulas, brands, and promises, it’s easy to get confused. Below is a brief guide to help you make an informed choice. And yes, all these options are already available in the OSCAR range.
1. Decide what kind of work the paint is needed for.
The first question is what and where do you plan to paint:
- Для внутренних стен подойдут водно-дисперсионные краски. Они быстро сохнут, не пахнут и безопасны.
🔹 Советуем: Oscar Deluxe Эмульсия — белая основа с хорошей укрывистостью, легко колеруется.
🔹 Для санузлов и кухонь — Oscar Бетоноконтакт + водостойкая краска, например, фасадная. - For facades and outdoor work, formulations with moisture resistance and UV protection are required.
🔹 We recommend: Oscar Facade Emulsion — resistant to fading, excellent adhesion, consumption from 240 g/m². - For wood and furniture alkyd and acrylic enamels work well.
🔹 We recommend: Oscar Universal Enamel suitable for both wood and metal, with a color palette of over 1000 shades.
2. Consider the type of surface
Different surfaces require different approaches:
Surface | What to choose |
---|---|
Tree | Enamel or OSCAR stain for deep penetration |
Concrete, brick | Primer + facade or interior paint |
Metal | Anti-corrosion enamel Oscar Antipas + lacquer |
Ceiling | Matte water-dispersion paint |
For challenging areas (such as tiles or glass), use OSCAR primer + Duafix aerosol paint — easy to apply and quick drying.
3. Choose the desired finish: matte, glossy, or semi-matte.
- Matte finish hides imperfections and has a soft appearance.
- Glossy — more durable, highlights the texture.
- Semi-matte — a versatile option.
🔹 In the OSCAR range, you’ll find all options: from classic matte (Oscar Deluxe) to glossy enamels with 90% shine.
4. Pay attention to coverage, opacity, and durability.
The higher the opacity and solid content, the more economical and durable the paint. For example:
- Oscar PF Enamel — coverage from 100 g/m², dries in 12 hours.
- Oscar Eurolux Acrylic Paint — dries in 2 hours, coverage from 40 to 90 g/m².
Choose the volume—from 0.7 to 20 liters—to suit your project. All sizes are available in stock.
5. Don’t forget about preparation and tools.
Even the highest-quality paint won’t deliver perfect results without surface preparation. You’ll need:
- Oscar Primer — evens out absorbency and enhances adhesion.
- Painter’s tape, rollers, brushes, trays, protective film — OSCAR also manufactures all of these.
6. Check compatibility with the solvent or thinner.
For example:
- For nitro enamels, use OSCAR thinner 0.7 or 646.
- Foruniversal alkyd enamels — Oscar thinner 0.5 or 1.0.
This ensures even application, correct viscosity, and no defects.
