What is Satinwood Trade Paint?

Satinwood paint is a specialist paint formulated for use on wood and metal surfaces. It is known for its smooth, mid-sheen satin finish that sits between gloss and matt. It provides a soft, reflective finish that adds a subtle sheen and elegance to painted surfaces. A popular choice for interior woodwork, satinwood paint is commonly used for interior applications like: 

  • Doors and door frames

  • Skirting boards

  • Window frames

  • Wooden furniture

  • Interior trim and mouldings

  • Radiators and pipework (where suitable - always check your tin for exact surface recommendations)

When it comes to professional results, trade satinwood paint offers superior coverage, opacity and durability compared to standard retail options. It’s suitable for high-traffic areas where everyday wear and tear is a concern and protection is required. It delivers a consistent finish that resists dirt, stains and grease.

Our top picks for satinwood trade projects include:

At The Paint Shed, we stock an expert-curated range of satinwood paint options to suit every surface and project. Choose from:

  • Satinwood water-based paint: Low odour, faster dry times, and easier cleanup with a brush or roller.

  • Satinwood oil-based paint: Longer-lasting, traditional option with enhanced flow and levelling.

  • Eco-friendly and low-VOC formulas: Reduce harmful emissions and are ideal for interior use in spaces where air quality matters.

  • Colour matching: We can closely match popular designer shades in water-based and oil-based satinwood formulations.

How to paint satinwood without brush marks?

  • Surface Preparation: Ensure your surface is clean, dry, and free from any dirt, dust or grease. Sand down any rough areas or previous brush marks gently with fine-grit sandpaper, and then wipe away the dust with a clean cloth.

  • Choose the Right Brush: Select a high-quality synthetic bristle brush that is suitable for water-based paints. A brush with fine bristles will help you minimise brush marks.

  • Paint in Thin Coats: Gradually build coverage by applying thin, even coats of satinwood paint rather than trying to cover the surface in one thick layer. This allows the paint to self-level, reducing the appearance of brush marks.

  • Use Proper Brushing Technique: Start by dipping the brush about one-third into the paint and gently tapping it against the side of the paint tin. This helps to remove any excess.

  • Mind your environment: Avoid painting in humid or cold spaces to allow the paint to level properly.
