Honestly, this stuff is amazing. I’m a traditional coach painter who previously used paint-manufacturer recommended thinners, or simply white spirit to retard drying time (used to enable additional ‘working time’, and drying time – to allow the paint to ‘flow’). This product gives you both benefits, without ‘thinning’ the paint to the point where it runs.
Brushed paint doesn’t run, and it has time to ‘flow’ – leaving no brush marks. I add 20pc to my final top coats and get brush-mark and run-free results every time. And, as an additional bonus – I’m assured this product inhibits rust. Genius stuff.

Paint Additives Quick Tip

Owatrol’s paint additive range is designed to enhance the performance, durability and finish of paints, ensuring professional-quality results with ease. Whether improving adhesion, extending drying time, preventing brush marks, or boosting weather resistance, Owatrol’s innovative additives provide tailored solutions for any painting project.

Unlike standard thinners or extenders, Owatrol’s unique formulas work by conditioning the paint rather than diluting it, maintaining its integrity while making application smoother and more efficient. These additives can transform ordinary paint into a high-performance coating, improving flow and levelling for a flawless, streak-free finish. With products available for use with either oil-based or water-based paints, Owatrol can help to eliminate common issues like peeling, cracking and poor coverage, even on challenging surfaces.
