Overview

Little Greene Intelligent Gloss is a durable, water-based paint with a sleek high-gloss finish. It offers excellent adhesion, quick drying, and low odour, making it suitable for interior and exterior woodwork, metal, and trim, as well as radiators. Tough, washable, and eco-conscious, it combines modern performance with a classic reflective style.

Preparation

For best results, make sure all surfaces are sound, clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or contaminants before painting.

Remove any loose, flaking, or defective paint with a scraper, sander, or suitable Paint and Varnish Remover
Wash down with a mild detergent or Barrettine Sugar Soap Concentrate sugar soap solution, rinse thoroughly, and allow to dry
Sand glossy or previously painted surfaces to provide a uniform key, feathering edges smoothly
On new wood, seal knots with a suitable Colron Knotting Solution before priming
Prime bare softwood with Little Greene Intelligent ASP; resinous or oily hardwoods may require Aluminium Wood Primer for best adhesion
On metal, remove all rust and scale, then prime bare steel or iron with two coats of Intelligent ASP
On plastics, clean thoroughly and abrade lightly to provide a key before priming
Ensure timber moisture content is below 15% before painting to avoid premature failure

Application

Always test a small area before starting any project to confirm colour, finish, and suitability. Stir thoroughly before and during use, and follow the manufacturer's instructions at all times. Use only in well-ventilated areas.

Apply 2-3 full coats of Little Greene Intelligent Gloss using a high-quality synthetic brush, short-nap roller, or spray system
Maintain a wet edge and keep final strokes in the same direction for the best finish
Allow 6 hours drying time between coats, depending on temperature and ventilation
For intricate items or in hot/dry conditions, extend open time by adding up to 10-15% clean water
On new wood, apply over a suitable primer and undercoat before finishing with Intelligent Gloss
On metal, prime with a suitable primer before applying topcoats
Lightly denib between coats to remove dust nibs and achieve a smooth, professional-looking finish

For best colour consistency, purchase enough paint for the whole project, including extra for future touch-ups.

Aftercare

To keep your painted surfaces looking their best, follow these simple aftercare steps:

Allow the paint to fully cure for 3-7 days before subjecting surfaces to heavy use or cleaning
Clean light marks or dirt with lukewarm water and a mild detergent using a soft cloth or sponge
Avoid abrasive cleaners, strong chemicals, or scrubbing pads that could damage the high-gloss finish
Let radiators cool completely before wiping to prevent polishing or streaking
For repairs, lightly sand the area, spot-prime if needed, and repaint break to break for a seamless finish
