Ask your QuestionDoes faux finish paint need a protective coating? Will this prevent damage?
Asked by Julie on 22nd Jan 2021"Not a protective coating just a satin base coat ..unless there are water stains ect on wall ..
Then that would need a stain stop like binz .."
"Absolutely if you want to go the extra mile to protect it.
However it could also creat a nicer effect with a clear sealer over it 🙂🤔
although depending on the style and type of paint used it could be self sealing, I recommend doing a scratch test and think about where it's located, will it be experience alot of friction?(e.g. behind a coat rack or behind a couch)."
"Yes, definitely any type of clear sealant would be good."
