Been asked to finish a pine dining table and 10 accompanying chairs in a dark chocolate brown. The table will be paint stripped and sanded back. Would this be a good product for the job. Would I need a base coat on first. Looking at a satin finish please advise many thanks

This product would be fine as a finish coat. Assuming you have a clean, dry, sound surface that has been sanded prior to application, HMG Pre Cat Standard Sealer would be recommended as a basecoat/sealer, prior to finishing with HMG Pre Cat AV Colours . This product is available in 5000+ RAL, BS & NCS Colours to a Satin, Matt or Gloss finish.

Im looking to paint over sealed mdf would this paint require an additional primer

We would recommend testing for compatibility and adhesion prior to full application on a small area with the previously sealed mdf. For bare mdf the primer to use would be HMG Pre Cat Primefast 2014-04.

Hello, what is the guarantee in terms of fading and longevity, with proper preparation and using the pre cat primer?

I'm afraid no warranties or guarantees are offered with this product.

ColourPicker Explained

In general we sort colours for products into 2 main groups - ‘Ready Mixed’ and ‘Tinted’.
Tinted colours will always be more expensive than Ready Mixed colours as they need to be produced at the time of order using a tinting machine dispensing colourant into a base*.
During busy periods, this means that tinted colours could take longer, for example – a ready mixed colour ordered on a 3-5 day delivery might arrive within 3 days, however a tinted colour might take the full 5 days to arrive.

To find Ready Mixed colours, search "ready mixed" or select the Ready Mixed 'colour chart'. To see Tinted colours select a colour chart such as RAL, BS, NCS, etc. or search for a colour/hue to see available or related options.

To ensure fair pricing, we split colours into ‘Price Bands’ to group together similar priced colours. If you wish to search for the cheapest tinted colours, always select Price Band 1.

We make every effort to list all available colours, however we also offer a colour match service which can be accessed by contacting our Technical Team on 0113 245 5450 (option 2) or emailing [email protected]
