The Fusion Bright Whites
In the collection, we have two whites that are considered bright white. They retain the highest percentage of white pigment, creating a purer and brighter finish than our other whites.
- Picket Fence: Picket fence is a staple colour for any project or room that needs a punch of light. Picket Fence is our brightest white, a totally pure white packed full of pigments to give you great coverage with no cold blue undertones it.
- Casement: This is our favourite uncomplicated warm white, that pairs well with virtually any colour! A slightly softer white than Picket Fence, it’s a timeless classic.
THE PERFECT WHITES TO HAVE IN YOUR PAINT KIT
We also have four other whites in the collection. Designed to offer you more options for your projects, we keep up to date with interior trends. Every colour you need to keep your projects modern and suitable for all styles.
THE SOFTEST WARM WHITES
- Victorian Lace: Romantic in every way, this multi-tone white is perfectly balanced between warm and cool.
- Raw Silk: A warm old white with barely a hint of yellow and just a touch of grey. The colour of newly formed silk – the perfect off white.
- Cashmere: Wrap up in the warmth of this luxurious neutral. Soft and elegant, this shade offers a slight cream undertone.
OUR COOL WHITE
- Lamp White: Our cool white has subtle hints of grey. This colour resembles how white walls and furniture would appear after years of oil lamp use.

With little to no prep work required and by carefully following directions, Fusion can be applied to most previously painted or coated surfaces without priming or significant prep work.
- NO TOP COAT REQUIRED
Fusion is formulated with a built-in topcoat, it’s 100% resin. No topcoat is needed for water permanency.
- OUTSTANDING COVERAGE
Fusion paint offers incredible coverage of 75 sq ft per Pint (500ml). In lots of cases, one coat is all you need.
- HIGHLY DURABLE FORMULATION
Once Fusion has cured, it yields a highly durable and washable finish. If you choose you can of course achieve a beautiful lustre by adding a topcoat. Fusion is dry to the touch after 2 hours and can accept a recoat after 4 hours. Cure time with all acrylic paints is 21 days, however, painted surfaces can be used gently after 24 to 48 hours of drying time.
- SMOOTH, MATTE FINISH
Fusion is offered in a gorgeous matte finish. This means an almost zero reflective value that allows you to achieve a beautiful smooth finish.
WHO FUSION ISN’T FOR…
If you are not prepared to do some simple prep work which includes washing and cleaning your piece of furniture you may not get the stunning smooth finish you may desire. Most items of furniture require a good clean and a quick scuff sand with a simple 220 grit sanding pad. It only takes a short time but the results will be spectacular and you can easily achieve a professional like finish.
PAINT TIP: TSP Alternative is a non-toxic Phosphate-free organic water-based degreaser used to thoroughly clean a surface prior to applying paint. Highly efficient it removes oil, grease, fingerprints, stains and other contaminants, which will improve adhesion and the look of subsequent coatings. Safe to use on all surfaces this little bottle will clean about 12-24 pieces of furniture. Just add 1 capful into 500ml of water.
