Wise Owl One Hour Enamel — Soft Black

Soft Black — a warm, gentle black that reads rich and inky rather than harsh, the black equivalent of a broken-in leather chair. It brings instant drama to a kitchen island, a front door or a statement sideboard. This is a high-touch, high-traffic enamel by design, so a dark, hardworking finish like this holds up to hands, feet and years of use.

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.
