Description

Power and Precision for Major Transformations

A Robust Design for Large-Scale Projects

The Colorantic XL round brush with short handle is designed for creators who need both strength and control. Its oversized head, made of premium natural bristles, offers exceptional paint-loading capacity. This allows you to cover large surfaces such as buffets, wardrobes, or big tabletops quickly and efficiently.

The short handle is a key advantage: it provides more direct control and pressure, which is especially useful when applying wax or working glazes into textured surfaces. This ergonomic design reduces hand fatigue while improving precision across all furniture makeover projects.

A Versatile Expert for Paint and Fabric

Beyond wax application, this XL brush also performs exceptionally well with chalk paint. Its dense bristles help work paint deep into surfaces, making it a great tool for upholstering or refreshing fabric furniture. Used with Colorantic products, it ensures smooth absorption and a flexible, long-lasting finish on chairs and armchairs.

  • XL Performance: High bristle density holds more product for faster application
  • Premium Natural Bristles: Balanced flexibility for both textured and smooth finishes
  • Multi-Purpose Use: Ideal for wax, paint, glaze, and fabric projects

Professional Care for Long-Lasting Performance

To maintain the density and softness of your XL round brush, proper cleaning is essential. After each use, wash the bristles with warm water and mild soap until the water runs clear. To preserve its original shape, hang it upside down or store it with bristles facing downward to dry.

Adding this XL brush to your workshop gives you the freedom to tackle ambitious projects with professional ease. It is a flagship tool in the Colorantic range, designed to bring bold ideas to life while maintaining refined, elegant finishes.

It Grips Without Sanding

On previously painted or varnished wood, scuffing with an abrasive pad is enough. Full sanding is only needed if the old finish is flaking.

Two Coats in One Day

About an hour between coats at room temperature. A piece started in the morning is back together by evening.

Water-Based, from Start to Finish

Brushes, rollers and spills clean up with warm water. No solvents, and almost no odour after a few hours.

How Much Paint for Your Surface?

Coverage depends first on what you’re painting. Here’s what one litre covers in practice, depending on the surface and how it’s prepared.

  • Bare Wood

    Coverage
    9 m² per litre
    Coats
    2 coats
    Preparation
    Sand with 180 grit, dust off, prime tannin-rich woods.

    Bare wood soaks up the first coat. Plan on two coats and lower coverage than on other surfaces.

  • Previously Painted or Varnished Wood

    Coverage
    12 m² per litre
    Coats
    2 coats
    Preparation
    Degrease, scuff with an abrasive pad, wipe dry.

    On a surface that’s already sealed, the paint stays on top: that’s where coverage is at its best.

  • Interior Walls

    Coverage
    11 m² per litre
    Coats
    2 coats
    Preparation
    Wash, fill, let dry completely.

    A matte wall repainted in a similar tone may need only one coat.

  • Melamine, Laminate and Metal

    Coverage
    10 m² per litre
    Coats
    2 coats
    Preparation
    Degrease with alcohol, then a bonding primer — no exceptions.

    It’s the one step you can’t skip: without a bonding primer, the paint chips at the first knock.

An estimate. Porous, textured or strongly contrasting surfaces absorb more — buy a little over rather than risk a second batch in a different tint lot.

Before you start

The Questions We Get Asked

  • Do I need to sand before painting?

    Rarely. On previously painted or varnished wood, scuffing with an abrasive pad is enough to open up the surface. Full sanding is only needed if the old finish is blistering or flaking.

  • How many coats should I plan for?

    Two, in the vast majority of cases. One is enough to refresh a similar shade; plan on three when a dark blue or red has to disappear under a white.

  • Is a primer necessary?

    On wood, plaster and drywall, no. On melamine, laminate and metal, yes: a bonding primer, otherwise nothing holds for long.

  • Can a painted surface be washed?

    Once protected with wax or varnish, yes: a damp cloth and mild soap. Chalk paint left bare stays porous and stains.

  • How long should I wait between coats?

    About an hour at room temperature. Wait longer if the air is humid: the coat must be dry all the way through, not just to the touch.
