Johnstone's Trade Aqua Water Based Satin is an innovative finish that's suitable for use on interior and exterior wood and metal, with a look and feel more like a traditional satin finish. There are only two drawbacks of choosing Aqua Guard over Aqua in my opinion; Johnstone’s Aqua guard cannot be used outside, and it doesn’t come in a gloss finish. It looks, feels and applies more like a traditional satin finish and is quicker drying and has a low odour. Unfortunately due to rising costs of secure paint packaging together with surcharges for heavy items from our courier, we are having to apply a small surcharge to certain items.It is low VOC thanks to its water-based formula which also makes it quick drying and low odour, with a tough and durable finish that's at its best when used over Johnstone's Trade Aqua Water Based Undercoat.
