Indigo Exterior Sheen Emulsion (Gold): Luminous, Durable Finish for Exterior Walls
Give your home’s exterior a sophisticated, rich sheen that highlights architectural details with Indigo Exterior Sheen Emulsion (Gold). This premium-grade, water-based paint offers the deep protection of the Gold Series while providing a beautiful soft sheen finish. This sheen not only enhances the vibrancy of exterior paint colours but also makes the surface highly washable and easier to clean, retaining its freshly painted look for years.
Indigo Exterior Sheen Emulsion (Gold) is formulated with high-performance acrylic polymers that create a tough, yet flexible, film. This flexibility helps bridge hairline cracks and prevents the paint from peeling, ensuring your home maintains a pristine appearance that is both beautiful and highly weatherproof.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Does this Sheen paint show surface imperfections?
A: Sheen finishes show imperfections more than Matt, but less than High Gloss. Proper surface prep (putty/sanding) is crucial for the best result.
Q: Is this paint more durable in rain than the Matt version?
A: Both Gold Series versions have excellent durability. However, the slightly tighter film of the Sheen finish makes it inherently easier to clean and slightly more resistant to dirt embedment.
