DESCRIPTION AND USES
Automotive 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.
