Here is a closer look at some of the basic differences between three of these options.
1. General Purpose Synthetic Enamel
General Purpose Synthetic Enamel, as the name implies, is a general-purpose industrial synthetic enamel designed for on-steel concrete and wooden substrates. It gives high opacity and its high gloss effect renders a rich sheen. Other desirable attributes include providing a uniform and long-lasting film as well as better coverage.
2. Superlac Premium High Gloss Enamel
Superlac Premium High Gloss Enamel is a modified alkyd-based premium enamel that also promises a smooth high gloss finish. You can also expect high opacity, quick-drying features for a lasting finish. It is the right choice when looking for eco-friendly professional metal enamels that deliver excellent coverage, a mirror-like gloss, as well as tough finish.
2. Superlac Synthetic Enamel
Superlac Synthetic Enamel is also a modified alkyd based enamel that gives you a smooth high gloss finish. It gives you all the benefits of Superlac Premium High Gloss Enamel such as high opacity, excellent coverage, quick-drying features, as well as containing zero added lead, zinc, arsenic, or chromium.
