Description

The Bristol EARTH range is an air drying water-based paint formulated generally for interior use. These pigment based paints are produced in the traditional classic earth shades, they give exceptional coverage, are highly dilutable and dry to a totally matte finish , this making them very economical and extremely easy to use.

The EARTH paint range can also be intermixed or top dressed with our range of waterbased lacquers and coatings. For application to difficult substrates or for additional durability these products are extremely useful. This process may effect the matt finish of the paint. 

The EARTH paint range is kept in stock and ready for immediate despatch.
The paints are pigment based they are sold by weight.

A comprehensive Pure colour folder is available on request.

Wet samples of the EARTH paint range are available for specific projects.

• Treat new plaster and filled areas with stabilizing solution
• Apply undercoat/primer to new work with Bristol StudioWhite
• All colours can be diluted with water and intermixed
• Application by brush, roller or conventional / HVLP spray method
• It is recommended two coats be applied, sometimes three in the case of pigments with relatively low covering power. High pigment colours tend to be slightly chalky and unless treated with a binder can be easily marked.
