Acrylic Enamel is a premium acrylic finish designed
to provide fast dry, excellent coverage and maximum durability. It
is suitable for use on metal and wood and can be used indoors
or outdoors. Acrylic Enamel features an advanced spray system
that allows you to spray at any angle, even upside down for
those hard to reach areas. A comfort spray tip with a wider finger
pad reduces fatigue caused by continuous spraying.
