Use this not aquanamel if you want a beautiful finish in less coats
Tried aquanamel for stained wood trim over both water based and oil based primers. Big fail. Found a tin of super enamel I had for about 6 years but never used it. Opened the tin, gave it a good stir and already after just 1 coat on an oil based primer it’s looking amazing. See my other review on the cruddy finish from Aquanamel and you’ll feel my pain. This is 2 thumbs up. Don’t get paint expert from a dulux rep, he said there were no advantages of oil based over water based enamel. Come to my house buddy and I will show you!
Purchased in April 2021.

THIN and RUNNY
I love Dulux High Gloss and have worked with it extensively over the past few years.
Unfortunately I cant say the same about the Dulux Super Enamel Semi Gloss.
I found it EXTREMELY runny, creating endless work and slight runs on drying.
Back to the sanding block...!!!
If I wanted thin, I would have bought a cheap brand.
I'm also not happy with the drying texture when using a roller...!!! Grrr..... Back to the sanding block again.
2 Coats later, I've decided to throw it away and purchase a tin of High Gloss.

Thin and does not go on well.....
I have been using Dulux paint for years but it had been a while since I had used it. Purchased recently on the basis of past experience and was immediately disappointed. Thin and messy to work with, leaves a lot of ugly marks with a paintbrush and dries too quickly making it hard to go back and try to fix up streaks in paintwork (as much as that is possible).
Won't be using again.

I've been painting for 30+ years mate. Switched to another brand and everything is fine. Care to comment on that?

Oil Based Semi Gloss Enamel
I am a signwriter by trade so I've used lots of different oil based enamel paint over the years. I have renovated a couple of houses and have always used Dulux paint. I consider Dulux to be a good quality product for interior and exterior use however after using Super Enamel Semi Gloss (I have used this for windows, architraves & skirtings) I would have to say this is not a good product to paint with when using a brush. It covers well, it is white (not slightly cream like others) but it has poor reflow. That means it gets lots of brush marks an...Read more
d drags on the brush. Even when slightly thinned you need to work really fast laying it off to get a smooth finish. Perhaps you could use an additive like Penetrol but I wanted to avoid anything that might make the white 'yellow' over time. I have managed a fair result with this product but with considerable effort and only after lightly sanding between coats.1 comment

Questions & Answers
Joe Sasked
Can you apply super enamel semi gloss over a finished aquanamel surface without an undercoat in between?
1 answer
Caitlin O.Dulux
Hi Joe,
Thanks for your question. If the surface is in good condition, then no undercoat is needed. Ensure the surface it is clean and free from oils and grease. Give the surface a light sand and dust down. Then apply 2 coats of Dulux Super Enamel.
Good luck with your project!

Why does it take two coats to obtain optimum finish?
Many many years ago I used Dulux oil gloss (using semi gloss) and one coat was enough

Hi Mike, we always recommend the application of two coats to any surface to achieve complete opacity and a smooth, glossy finish. If a thick coat is applied, you may get a finish close to this however, a single thick coat is not recommended as it is likely to sag.
