We are excited to announce that we now stock 16 colors of Wise Owl One Hour Enamel Paint!
What is One Hour Enamel Paint?
- It is an incredibly tough fast dry acrylic enamel for interior and exterior use on surfaces made by Wise Owl Paint.
- It is water thinned so it poses no fire hazard or objectionable odor.
- The product is based on a specialized acrylic resin that dries quickly to a tough, durable film that has excellent weather, blocking and abrasion resistance along with superior adhesion properties.
- With its’ quick dry and quick re-coat times ONE HOUR ENAMEL helps you get the job done faster than conventional acrylic finishes.
Use Wise Owl’s Stain Eliminating Primer to strengthen adhesion on slippery surfaces
When would you use it?
- If you are working on cabinet projects – it’s ideal for kitchens and bathrooms!
- For interior and exterior door projects.
- If you want quick drying and curing time!
- For a nice clean, smooth finish and you don’t want to distress the paint.
Do you need to prime or sand?
You don’t need to sand (unless you have a bumpy surface that needs to be smoothed) and you only need to prime if you’re painting laminate or metal surfaces.
What makes Wise Owl One Hour Enamel Paint so special?
It has a tough durable finish that is truly cutting edge. It is absolutely an industrial strength finish.
How do I clean the paint brush?
Just Dawn soap (or any dish liquid) and water – simple!
What is the application process?
We recommend using a Cling-On brush if applying by brush. It can also be sprayed on.
What colors are available?

How many cabinets will it cover
Hi Madeline, thank you for asking this question! It’s hard to give a number since cabinets are all different sizes but a quart will cover approximately 160 square feet. Some colors will take 2 coats and others (like the whites) might take 3 coats. We hope this helps!
I am planning on using the enamel paint on a dresser. Can I still slightly distress the dresser with this paint?
Hi Shelly! We answered your question on another post but just in case someone else is wondering the same thing we’d like to answer here too. This is how we responded: It is possible but it’s a little more challenging to distress. Wise Owl’s chalk synthesis paint is what we recommend if you’d like to distress.
Can the enamel paint be distressed?

Hi Shelly, thanks for asking! It is possible but it’s a little more challenging to distress. Wise Owl’s chalk synthesis paint is what we recommend if you’d like to distress.
Thank you for your response. If I use the synthesis white paint, what varnish would I use? I want to paint an old dresser for my daughter-in-law to use in a baby’s room. I have used American General before, but they don’t recommend it be used on white because it might turn yellow.

We recommend using Shellac to spray the entire piece and/or priming with Wise Owl’s stain blocking primer twice (this is to keep the stain from seeping through), then paint then varnish. White can be challenging and there are never any guarantees so tend to test one area first.
Can the enamel be sponged on to create a granite effect on counters? Does their primer come in black? Thank you
Hi Carolyn, thanks for asking! Yes, the enamel can be sponged on for a decorative finish/effect. The primer is currently available in white and clear but they do plan on releasing a grey primer sometime soon – we don’t have a date yet.
I’d like to spray the paint. What is the best way to thin it? Can you use Floetrol or do you recommend water? Also, are the samples shown applied with a brush or a sprayer? Thank You.
Hi Kristel, the samples in the photos are sprayed. Wise Owl actually doesn’t recommend thinning the Enamel paint when spraying but if you find you do need to thin it (depending on the sprayer you use) they say not to thin it by more than 10%. Thanks for asking and we’re happy to answer more questions if you have them!
