FUSION™ IS A PROFESSIONAL PAINT FOR FURNITURE REFINISHERS AND THE EVERYDAY DIY’ER.


With exceptional ease of application, and a virtually zero VOC formulation with high hiding coverage and a built-in top coat it’s easy to Paint it Beautiful with Fusion™! With over 50 gorgeous colours to choose from our four collections, you can tackle any project small or large!


The secret to a beautiful finish is to apply Fusion Mineral Paint™ to a clean and sound surface. The Fusion™ formula adheres very well to clean water-based paints and even oil bases, without the use of primer. Clean your piece with our TSP Alternative to remove grease and dirt, and if there is a gloss, give it a light scuff sand. We recommend using Fusion Ultra Grip™ on very high-gloss finishes, detailed areas, or slick surfaces like Thermafoil that can not be scuff sanded very easily.


EASY APPLICATION
Less is more with Fusion™! The best way to avoid brush marks is to use only a small amount of paint on your applicator and apply with light pressure. If you can see paint lines/dimple marks, there is too much paint being used on your brush/roller. Remember, it’s easier to add more paint than it is to remove it.

RE-COAT TIME
Fusion™ is dry to the touch after 30 minutes and ready to re-coat within 1-2 hours. Cure time with all acrylic paints is 21 days, however, painted surfaces can be used gently after 24 to 48 hours of drying time. Longer dry and cure times are required for painting done in high humidity and cooler temperatures, or in cases where multiple coats of paint were applied. Be gentle the first couple of days after painting to ensure that perfect finish.

BUILT-IN TOP COAT
Don’t worry about sealing your piece – Fusion™ needs no additional top coat, as it is very durable. After the piece is cured, wash away spills using a soft cloth with water and a mild soap.

SPECIALTY FINISHES & FAUX EFFECTS
If you require more protection there are several top coat options. On a light colour, you’ll love our non-yellowing clear matte or gloss Tough Coat™. If you’re using a dark colour and wish to increase the lustre and durability in one step, apply our Stain & Finishing Oil in Natural.

Looking to enhance sheen, add a lovely pearl lustre, or perhaps a shimmering metallic glow? Try one of our clear, coloured, or metallic waxes. For a rustic weathered charm, try our Ageing Wax or Antique Glaze.
