Wise Owl One Hour Enamel — Clear Matte

Meet Clear Matte — a crystal-clear One Hour Enamel topcoat that drops a flat, contemporary matte sheen over your work while armoring it against the daily grind. Reach for it when you want to knock back shine on a chalk-painted dresser or add invisible, scrubbable protection to a well-loved tabletop or set of stair rails. It goes on clear, dries hard and fast, and recoats in about an hour — a durable, no-wax shield that lets the color underneath stay exactly as you intended.

One Hour Enamel is Wise Owl's premium water-based acrylic enamel — a beautifully hard, durable finish that needs no primer and no topcoat. It's self-sealing, so the color you brush on is the protection: it levels smooth, cures to a washable, scrubbable surface built for cabinets, doors, trim, and everyday furniture, and you can recoat in about an hour. Low-VOC and low-odor with easy soap-and-water clean-up. Proudly made in the USA.

How to use

Wipe your piece clean and give slick or glossy surfaces a light scuff — no separate primer needed on most surfaces. Stir well, then brush or roll on thin, even coats, letting each dry about an hour before the next; most projects need just two. Because One Hour Enamel is self-sealing, there's no wax or topcoat step — just let it cure fully before heavy use. Clean brushes and spills with warm, soapy water while the paint is still wet.
