Significant leaps forward in product development have led to the availability of many excellent multi surface paints (MSP) from high performance brands, including Bedec, Blackfriar Professional, Coo-Var, Rust-Oleum, and Zinsser. Many of these coatings can be used on glass, ceramic tiles, wood, metals, brick, vinyl, rendering, asbestos, slate, cladding, hardboard, masonry, UPVC, GRP, plastic, melamine, and other previously varnished, enamel or gloss painted surfaces. Surfaces and appliances that these multi-surface paints are designed for, include walls and ceilings, doors, trim, window sills, fascia, soffits, hand and stair railings, cupboards, units and drawers, and other previously decorated surfaces.

Rawlins Paints stock a wide range of all surface paint products that provide high quality finishes for many different surfaces in workplace or factory workplaces, as well as for smaller touch-up maintenance projects. Some multi surface paints can be applied as an all-in-one all-purpose paint without the need for a separate primer.
