Indigo Interior Lustre Finish (Lustre Paint): The Silky Pearl Glow for Walls
For an interior finish that provides a luxurious, pearl-like glow and exceptional durability, choose Indigo Interior Lustre Finish (Lustre Paint). This is a premium solvent-based paint designed to deliver a smooth, high-sheen look that is significantly tougher and more washable than standard acrylic emulsions. Ideal for living rooms, hallways, and areas requiring a robust, yet aesthetically pleasing finish.
