If you want a durable, easy-to-use wood paint for doors, skirting boards, panelling or furniture, Alchemist Wood is a brilliant choice. It’s a high-quality, water-based wood paint that features a satin finish. You can use it both inside and outside your home, making it perfect for everything from interior doors to outside furniture.
Do I need a Primer?
Using a primer on woodwork is strongly recommended. It creates the right base for your paint, giving you a smoother finish and better durability.
Previously Painted Wood → Alchemist Wood Primer
Bare Pine → Spot prime any knots with Alchemist Shellac Primer and prime the entire area with Alchemist Wood Primer.
Previously Varnished Surfaces → Alchemist Shellac Primer
Bare Laminate → Alchemist Universal Primer
Bare MDF → Alchemist Shellac Primer

Tools We Recommend for the Best Finish
Using the right tools will make a huge difference. Our team always suggests:
- Alchemist 4-inch Microfiber Roller → Brilliant for avoiding streaks or patchiness
- Sanding Blocks → A quick sand in between coats if you want an extra smooth finish
- Painters Prep → Perfect for cleaning down surfaces before you start (removes grease, fingerprints and any dirt so your paint can adhere properly)

Alchemist Wood is ideal for most woodwork projects, including:
- Interior doors and frames
- Skirting boards and architraves
- Panelling
- Wardrobes, furniture and built-in units
- Exterior doors
- Outside woodwork, such as sheds and fences
