Provides a hard, protective finish that leaves a smooth high-gloss porcelain-like surface. 1 Part Epoxy – no mixing and no mess. Self-leveling.
State-of-the-art, low odor, water thinnable urethane-alkyd emulsion. Combines the advantages of both modern acrylic and traditional oil formulations. Available in Brilliant or Satin finishes, both equally durable.
Surfaces: All properly prepared and primed interior or exterior surfaces. (Not suitable for floors)
Applications: Walls, ceilings, windows, doors, trim, siding, cabinets, shutters, garden furniture – as a rule, ECO is suitable for use on surfaces which previously would have been coated with Brilliant or Satin enamel. ECO is the ultimate exterior housepaint–especially when used during the construction phase where all wooden elements are encapsulated with FPE Oil Primer or ECO Primer and painted on all sides before nailing in place. This system can be expected to yield fifteen to twenty years of beauty and protection. ECO is not recommended for exterior use on masonry surfaces, stucco, or homes which have previously experienced moisture related paint problems.
ECO is primarily intended for use on interior and exterior woodwork and trim. It may also be used on interior walls and ceilings which have been properly prepared and primed with the appropriate FPE Primer. However, please note that the use of our 100% acrylic Eurolux Matte or Flat finish paints is what is typically recommended on walls and ceilings.
Colors: ECO Brilliant is available in white, 10,000 FPE colors and an unlimited number of custom tinted colors.
Custom Tinting: we are pleased to match any color from any manufacturer at the same price as our standard proprietary colors.
Fine Paints of Europe sells paint systems. We do not sell individual products for use with primers from other manufacturers. Please make certain that you are using the correct Fine Paints of Europe primer specified for your coating.
Coverage rates with Fine Paints of Europe are dramatically better than with domestic coatings when used with one of our “high build- high tooth” primers. Never apply a Fine Paints of Europe paint to a surface which has been primed with a sealer such as Shellac, Bin™ or Kilz™. These are fine products when used for their intended purpose but they do not provide adequate friction for great adhesion with our coatings.
Surfaces to be painted should be dry, free of dust, chalk, grease, rust and all foreign material which would affect adhesion.
Dust and Chalk must be removed by scrubbing with mild, powdered detergent and warm water and rinsed with fresh water. NEVER prepare surfaces by washing with a petroleum-based liquid soap, which can affect adhesion.
Grease and wax should be removed with lacquer thinner. Surfaces such as kitchen cabinets or furniture that may have been waxed with a silicon-based product, or stained, varnished or oiled should be treated with a deglossing agent such as Wil-Bond before priming with ECO or FPE Oil Primer/Undercoat.
When mildew is encountered, it must be removed thoroughly by washing with a mild bleach and TSP solution. It is imperative that all bleach residue be removed by rinsing with water.
When painting metal surfaces, all corrosion and rust must be removed; prime with the appropriate FPE metal primer. When painting wooden surfaces, knots must be sealed with shellac to prevent bleeding before priming.
Glossy surfaces must be dulled by a light hand sanding or a dulling agent (liquid sandpaper).
One of the few disadvantages of working with great brilliant enamels like Hollandlac and ECO is that pigments in both of these coatings are extremely finely ground, very much like automobile paints and therefore these paints tend to reveal airborne contamination (the type of dust particles that float in the air of even the cleanest homes) to a much greater degree than coarsely ground, lower quality coatings. Interesting to discover a marketing advantage offered by low quality coatings which is not yet being extolled by the big boxes!
When painting furniture or cabinet components we recommend that the work be done in a garage or basement with a “wet floor”. The floor should be wet down with mop and bucket at least 24 hours prior to application of paint and kept wet throughout the process in order to serve as a magnet to airborne dust. Where it is not possible to move work to areas suitable for wet floor treatment, many of our best professional contractors utilize inexpensive “kiddie pools” in which they place a half inch of water at least a day or two before beginning paint application.
The use of a fan during this air-cleansing period is recommended as it is the circulation of air over water which effectively cleanses the air. The fan and heat/air conditioning system should be shut off immediately before beginning application of coatings and kept off for two hours after completion of paint application in order to prevent air movement before the paint sets up. (Exhaust fans required when working with solventborne coatings should not be shut off.)
Tools: Apply by brush, roller or spray.
New, unpainted surfaces: After surface preparation (sanding, etc.) and cleaning, apply one coat ECO Primer/Undercoat or FPE Oil Primer/Undercoat. If painting exterior wood, moisture levels should not exceed 14%. Primer coat should be sanded with 220 grit paper. Then apply two generous, even coats of ECO. Apply the paint and then walk away. Do not overwork this finish.Sanding between top coats of ECO Brilliant with 220 to 320 grit paper is necessary for adhesion.
Sanding between top coats of ECO Brilliant with 220 to 320 grit paper is necessary for adhesion
On surfaces previously painted: Surfaces previously painted with latex paint should be primed first prior to painting. Apply ECO following a light sanding and thorough cleaning to remove dust and foreign material. Painted surfaces that do require heavy sanding or scraping should be cleaned and then primed with ECO or FPE Oil Primer/ Undercoat before applying two generous coats of ECO. Apply the paint and then walk away. Do not overwork this paint – brush it on and walk away.
ECO should be stirred well before use. If this finish drags or does not level perfectly it may be thinned slightly with water.
Do not apply at temperatures below 40°F or above 80°F or when relative humidity exceeds 80%.
Easy to clean. Wash (scrub if necessary) with a mild, powdered detergent and warm water, rinse and dry (buff) thoroughly to prevent water spots.

Interior or exterior, marine quality, oil based, ultra high-gloss enamel.
Surfaces: Wood, plaster, wallboard, plastic and all metals
Applications: Windows, doors, floors, trim, railing, cabinets, wainscoting, furniture, machinery, exterior architectural facades, shutters, garden furniture, gazebos, trellises, wooden and wrought iron, fences, floors, exterior decks and porches, and boats – HOLLANDLAC Brilliant 98 may be used to create dramatic impact when applied to walls and ceilings.
HOLLANDLAC Brilliant 98 is a high performance, marine quality enamel, unequalled in its ability to provide maximum protection and depth of color. Now with an even higher sheen, HOLLANDLAC Brilliant 98 Gloss Enamel possesses a mirror-like luminescence which may be used subtly or dramatically to create focus, space and light.
The densely pigmented formulation of HOLLANDLAC Brilliant 98 provides superior coverage and hiding power. High concentrations of costly, color-fast pigments result in colors that resist fading. HOLLANDLAC Brilliant 98 White is virtually non-yellowing. However, even the highest quality white oil finishes will yellow in the constant absence of ultraviolet light; i.e., inside of a closet or in a room with little direct sunshine. (See EUROLUX for non-yellowing, gloss white).
HOLLANDLAC Brilliant 98’s unique self-leveling and filling properties result in a finish that dries to a beautiful, durable, porcelain-like surface whether applied by brush or spray. Although all paints perform best when applied over a FPE Oil Primer/Undercoat, HOLLANDLAC Brilliant 98 does not require primer when applied over clean, previously painted oil finishes in good condition. Surfaces previously painted with waterborne paint should be lightly sanded and primed with FPE Oil Primer/Undercoat before receiving a HOLLANDLAC finish.
Grease and wax should be removed with lacquer thinner. Surfaces such as kitchen cabinets or furniture that may have been waxed with a silicon-based product, or stained, varnished or oiled should be treated with a deglossing agent such as Wil-Bond before priming with FPE Oil Primer/Undercoat.
When mildew is encountered, it must be removed thoroughly by washing with a mild bleach and TSP solution. It is imperative that all bleach residue be removed by rinsing with water. When painting metal surfaces, all corrosion and rust must be removed; prime with the appropriate FPE metal primer. When painting wooden surfaces, knots must be sealed with shellac to prevent bleeding before priming.
Tools: Use a first quality, clean, natural bristle brush. We recommend the following brushes for this finish: Omega Small Flats (S57’s), or Omega Round Sash (S203’s). NEVER use a roller to apply this finish to high profile areas as a slight stipple will be evident.
Unpainted surfaces and those previously painted with waterborne finishes: After surface preparation, apply one coat appropriate FPE Primer/Undercoat, use FPE or ECO Primer for wood, Primer AC for ferrous metal, Key Primer for non-ferrous metals and plastics. Primer coat should be sanded with 220 grit paper and tacked clean before receiving two thin, even coats of HOLLANDLAC Brilliant 98. Allow each coat to dry overnight. For added durability, apply two primer coats before painting or a third finish coat.
On surfaces previously painted with oil-based paint: Surfaces painted with an oil finish, which are sound and do not need significant preparation, may be painted without priming. Apply HOLLANDLAC Brilliant 98 following a light sanding and thorough cleaning to remove dust and foreign material. Painted surfaces that do require heavy sanding or scraping should be cleaned and then treated with FPE Oil Primer/Undercoat. Then apply two thin coats of HOLLANDLAC Brilliant 98.
HOLLANDLAC Brilliant 98 should be stirred well before use and applied in thin, even coats. Under normal environmental conditions this product requires no thinning. Clean up with FPE Mineral Spirits.
Do not apply on exterior work when the temperature is below 40˚F or above 90˚F, or if rain threatens. Work area should always be well ventilated.
For optimal results: Sanding between coats of HOLLANDLAC is not required for adhesion. However, when applying HOLLANDLAC Brilliant to high profile areas subject to close eye contact, we recommend a light sanding with a fine grade of sandpaper (220 or higher grit) between coats. This step should be followed by a thorough vacuuming or wiping down with a clean rag or tack cloth. Care should be taken to allow adequate drying time between coats and before sanding. The durability of this finish on floors can be enhanced substantially by allowing the finish to cure for at least one week before receiving heavy traffic. Sanding is for appearance and is not required for adhesion.
For a spectacular, mirror-like finish on walls and woodwork, use FPE Brushing Putty or Swedish Putty before applying HOLLANDLAC. These unique products (refer to Directory) produce a luxurious, durable, glass-like finish when used to prepare a surface prior to the application of HOLLANDLAC Brilliant 98.
Keep in cool dry area – unopened cans should retain product integrity for minimum of 10 years.

Interior or Exterior* oil-based enamel with subtle, low-luster sheen.
Surfaces: Wood, plaster, wallboard, metals and plastic
Applications: Windows, doors, floors, trim, railing, cabinets, wainscoting, furniture, machinery, exterior architectural facades, shutters, garden furniture, gazebos, trellises, wooden and wrought iron, fences, floors, exterior decks and porches, and boats.
Colors: HOLLANDLAC Satin is available in white, 10,000 FPE colors and an unlimited number of custom tinted colors.
Custom Tinting: We are pleased to match any color from any manufacturer at the same price as our standard proprietary colors.
HOLLANDLAC Satin is a high performance enamel paint with a sophisticated, understated sheen. This formulation yields superior coverage and an easily maintained washable finish. HOLLANDLAC Satin flows on easily, levels beautifully and conceals minor surface flaws. Although all paints perform best when applied over a FPE Primer/Undercoat, HOLLANDLAC Satin does not usually require a primer when applied over clean, previously painted oil finishes in good condition. HOLLANDLAC white resists yellowing. However, even the highest quality white oil finishes will yellow in the constant absence of ultraviolet light; i.e., inside of a closet or in a room with little direct sunshine. (See EUROLUX, page 18, non-yellowing white.)
Surfaces to be painted should be dry, free of dust, chalk, grease and any foreign material that would affect adhesion. Grease and wax should be removed with an appropriate solvent (especially important on kitchen cabinets where use of a deglossing agent is recommended before painting or priming).
Dust and chalk must be removed by scrubbing with a mild powdered detergent and warm water; rinse with fresh water. Do no prepare surface by washing with a liquid cleaning agent which can interfere with adhesion.
When mildew is encountered, it must be removed thoroughly by washing with a mild bleach solution. It is imperative that all bleach residues be removed by rinsing.
When painting metal surfaces, all corrosion and rust must be removed, them primed with appropriate FPE metal primer.
When painting new wooden surfaces, all knots must be sealed with shellac before priming to prevent bleeding.
This finish is suitable for use on exterior doors, trim, shutters, furniture, etc. when applied as a finish coat over two coats of HOLLANDLAC Brilliant Enamel in the same color. (NOTE: One coat of Brilliant enamel is adequate as a “sub-coat” in mild climates) Refer to instructions for HOLLANDLAC Brilliant.
Many professionals have discovered that the easiest way to apply HOLLANDLAC Satin is over one coat of HOLLANDLAC Brilliant in the same color. This approach affords faster application, better leveling and better chip resistance.
Tools: Use a first quality, clean, natural bristle brush. We recommend the following brushes for this finish: Omega Small Flats (S57’s) or Omega Round Sash (S203’s) or premium quality professional roller covers in 3/8” nap.
New, unpainted surfaces and those previously painted with waterborne finishes: After surface preparation, apply one coat appropriate FPE Primer/Undercoat. use EUROLUX on new sheetrock, FPE Oil Primer/Undercoat or ECO Primer for wood, Primer AC for ferrous metal, Key Primer for non-ferrous metals and plastics. Primer coat should be sanded with 220 grit paper and tacked clean before receiving two thin, even coats of HOLLANDLAC Satin. Allow each coat to dry overnight. For added durability and chip resistance (kitchen cabinets, doors) apply two primer coats before painting and apply first coat of HOLLANDLAC in Brilliant. Finish job with HOLLANDLAC Satin.
On interior surfaces previously painted with oil-based paints: Surfaces painted with an oil finish that are sound and do not need significant preparation may be painted without priming. Apply two thin coats of HOLLANDLAC Satin following a light sanding and thorough cleaning to remove dust and foreign material. Painted surfaces which do require heavy sanding or scraping should be cleaned and then coated with the appropriate FPE Primer/Undercoat before receiving a HOLLANDLAC Satin system.
HOLLANDLAC should be stirred well before use and applied in thin, even coats. Under normal environmental conditions this product requires no thinning. Clean up with FPE Mineral Spirits. This paint takes fourteen to twenty-one days to cure to a Satin finish. Work area should always be well ventilated.
For optimal results: When applying HOLLANDLAC Satin, we recommend a light sanding with a fine grade of sandpaper – 220 or higher grit – between coats. This step should be followed by a light vacuuming or wiping down with a clean rag or tack cloth. Care should be taken to allow complete drying between coats and before sanding.
Easy to clean. Wash with mild powdered detergent and warm water, rinse and dry (buff) thoroughly to avoid water spots.
Almost unlimited in original unopened containers.
