New ways with paint

Karen Walker Chalk Colour is new to Resene and is an extension of the already popular Karen Walker Paints colour palette. Karen Walker Chalk Colour offers a beautiful, velvety matte finish and is the perfect way to add a vintage touch to décor such as furniture, vases and pots. Finish with Karen Walker Vintage Wax to enhance an aged effect or buff with Resene Soft Wax for a clear, modern approach.

Resene Aquaclear Natural

Resene Aquaclear Natural is a flat, waterborne urethane varnish that protects and enhances internal timber. Perfect for walls and ceilings, Resene Aquaclear Natural will provide a ‘natural’ effect without sacrificing durability. Pair your natural timber with greens such as Resene New Leaf for a rich, earthy approach.

Resene Aquapel & Terracotta Sealer

Resene Aquapel & Terracotta Sealer has water beading properties and is a great way to keep your pots looking fresh for longer. Resene Aquapel & Terracotta Sealer can protect many terracotta elements around your garden such as pots, statues and ornaments and is an ideal base coat when painting your pots with Resene Testpots. Resene Aquapel & Terracotta Sealer is also the best way to protect your Resene FX Faux Rust Effect finish.

Resene Water Lockout

Resene Water Lockout cures to a seamless highly elastic and durable film that sticks well to most substrates to block water ingress. Single component and easy to use, it will offer a barrier coat for the interior of wooden planter boxes.

Resene FX Faux Rust Effect

Resene FX Faux Rust Effect finish is a new addition to the Resene FX range. Used to create a unique rust style effect, Resene FX Faux Rust Effect is ideal as a feature on architecturally inspired projects or simply a neat way to bring life to exterior planters and pots. The colour intensity and variation of the rust effect depends on the application method and I would strongly encourage trying a sample first before proceeding with your final piece.
