Product of the month: What’s the gloss?

04 Dec 2025

New Resene Waterborne Super Gloss is based on a tough flexible hybrid waterborne-alkyd resin for a durable finish in a wide range of hardwearing areas. It’s a great option for front doors, highlighting architectural features and adding a touch of contrast in finish.

This lower odour formulation is easy to apply and dries to a beautiful, even, silky gloss finish without the unwanted and strong solvent odours associated with traditional solventborne products – so you get the gloss finish you’ve come to love from Resene Super Gloss, but without all the VOCs. It’s made with a plant-based waterborne alkyd resin and minerals, so it’s easy on painters, project users and the environment.

Resene Waterborne Super Gloss dries slower than Resene Enamacryl gloss waterborne enamel – so it’s a great option for those who need a little more time to apply their paint – but dries faster than traditional Resene Super Gloss. It’s available now in a growing selection of white and off white colours.

Consult with your nearest Resene ColorShop or representative to determine whether a Resene Waterborne Super Gloss is the perfect fit for your next design masterpiece.
