Intelligent Grip™

Groundbreaking new formulations mean you can prime and paint any surface from a single tin.

Four incredible new Intelligent Paint finishes, underpinned by Little Greene’s new Intelligent Grip™ technology, innovatively combine primer and topcoat in a single tin of paint.

We have upgraded the formulations of our best-selling Intelligent Paints, using groundbreaking paint technology to deliver unique qualities that will change the way we decorate.

This suite of environmentally-friendly finishes, in a full range of sheen levels from completely flat to high gloss, is already revered by homeowners, designers and professional decorators for combining a beautiful finish with unrivalled durability, ease of application and peace of mind.

Thanks to the upgrade – these finishes can now be painted, direct from the tin, on almost any surface in the home, and will securely grip with no requirement for a separate primer.

Even more remarkably, as true multi-surface paints, each finish will confidently adhere directly to all the common domestic building substrates: wood and plaster, but also metal (including radiators), plastics, uPVC, melamine, Formica® and even tiles and glass.

Such are the unrivalled adhesive qualities of Intelligent Grip™ technology, these paints don’t require significant surface preparation; only aged oil-based gloss requires a light sanding to guarantee premium adhesion and finish. All other surfaces just need to be stable, clean and dry to receive an amazing single-tin Intelligent Paint treatment.

All Intelligent Paint finishes are available in every colour in the Little Greene palette, so there are virtually no limits in bringing fabulous colour to all corners of the home.

Little Greene’s Creative Director, Ruth Mottershead, comments: “With paintable surfaces no longer restricted to specific finishes, and conventionally ‘non-paintable’ surfaces now part of the conversation, we’ve taken a big step forward in the creative process of designing and decorating with colour.

Minimal preparation time, reduced drying times and less cleaning time all contribute to a very efficient process. We’ve removed the headache of sanding and separate primers, and with a single tin there is less wastage, both in packaging and leftover paint.”

All paints in the Intelligent system are:

Self-priming

Intelligent Grip™ brings the technology of the primer into the topcoat, with no compromise to the finish and no need for a separate primer. Transform a room with a single tin of paint, minimising fussy preparation, extra cost, packaging and left-over paint.

Multi-surface

These paints can be creatively applied directly to almost any substrate, providing a cohesive look across all surfaces, whether it’s completely matt, low-sheen, mid-sheen or high gloss.

Up to 15 times tougher than ordinary decorative paints

The new Intelligent finishes can resist stains, take knocks and tolerate persistent scrubbing, with no compromising to their beautiful appearance; looking good for longer in both residential and commercial environments.

Time-saving with minimal disruption

Surfaces require minimal preparation. Application by brush or roller is easy, and recoat time is just 1–4 hours, meaning several coats can be applied on the same day.
