Flints Paints

After Bolloms ceased production we needed to find a replacement for their Black Emulsion. We tried many of the paints already available on the market but soon realised that we would have to get a paint specially made to meet the demanding specification. As we sell very large quantities of black (and white) paint we were able to ensure a high specification yet provide it at an economical bulk rate. We tested many batch samples from different companies and made a series of subtle formula adjustments to create a great general purpose black which is economical in use. We hope you like it.

Flints waterbased primer is ideal for painting steel, plastics and wood. It is an excellent safe substitute for black etch primer providing a strong finish simillar in appearance to satin powder coating.
The water base ensures that there are no unpleasant fumes. This product will provide a lasting protection for steel. The surface must be free from grease before applying. Like other water based products it takes slightly longer to fully cure than solvent based primers. Flints primer is often used for masking out the back of BP screens for silhouette effects. It adheres well and provides a completely opaque covering.
