TIMBERMAX Deck & Timber Paint is a tough, water-based, 100% acrylic paint designed specifically for decking, offering a durable, low-sheen finish that stands up to harsh weather and heavy foot traffic.

  • Apply with a brush, roller, or airless spray.

  • Use two full-finish coats for the best protection and durability.

  • Mix multiple containers together for consistent colour.

3. Drying & Recoating

  • Touch dry: 30 minutes

  • Recoat: 2 hours
