Wise Owl One Hour Enamel — Peppercorn

Peppercorn is a deep, smoky charcoal — softer than true black, with the warmth of ground pepper and cast iron. It's a sophisticated anchor for cabinetry, a front door, or a moody accent piece, holding its drama in any light. As a hard-wearing enamel it stands up to fingerprints and daily scuffs on the surfaces that get touched most.

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.
