WRX Trade Paint Review and Guide

WRX Trade is a Greek paint brand that has been available on the UK market for around 5 years. When they first arrived, products like their Satin and Aerosol paints were a revelation and became very popular among Professional Decorators like me, almost overnight.

They have since reformulated much of the rest of the range, with the improvements hitting shelves in early 2025. This blog represents an up-to-date WRX Trade paint review based on the most current products.

WRX Trade paints are only available from a handful of stockists, including online at Concep Décor and TopDec Decorating supplies. Some products are also available in-store at Crown Decorating Centre.

WRX Durable Matt Pro Review

This is an acrylic durable matt emulsion used to coat interior walls and ceilings. The tin sizes are 1L to 7.5L, and it’s available in hundreds of different colours. If you order from one of the online suppliers named above, they can even colour match to other brands.

WRX Durable Matt Pro is a quality product, especially when you consider it only costs roughly £10 per litre in a tinted colour including VAT. It flows brilliantly, has great opacity, and shows no defects like flashing or picture framing.

The sheen level is a touch high, but it still leaves you with a lovely finish.

WRX Ceiling Paint Pro Review

This is a specialist ceiling paint, which means it is ultra-low sheen to avoid defects on ceilings in light critical rooms. WRX Ceiling Paint Pro is a fantastic product! You should dilute it slightly to help with flow, but the opacity is great, so you can get away with thinning without having to apply additional coats.

The minor drawback with WRX Ceiling Paint Pro is there’s more spatter than you’d expect from most other ceiling paints. But that’s only a minor gripe, because the finish is stunning.

WRX Trade Satinwood Review

This is a fully water-based satin / semi-gloss paint designed for use on interior trim. Available only in white.

Ease of use for this product is ok. As with most water-based trim products, it can be a bit loose to cut in with. However, you’ll find it flies on!! Opacity is great!! Finish is spectacular, pure brilliant white!! 2 coats are all that are needed to cover yellowed gloss. This could easily be one of the best water-based satinwood products on the market, certainly for the price bracket. Check out our full WRX satinwood review.

WRX Aerosol Spray Paint Review

The WRX spray paint seems to have come from nowhere and really taken off in Britain. It is available in a vast range of colours from any Crown Decorating Centre, as well as online. They seem to have found the perfect balance of 50% paint and 50% gas to deliver the right amount of paint in a very controlled way.

The adhesion of this product is awesome for an acrylic and the finish is very durable. WRX could easily be the best aerosol I’ve ever used and I’d recommend it to anyone. You can read a full review here.

WRX Acrylic Primer Undercoat Review

For a primer / Undercoat, WRX is quite thin. This is actually a good thing!! Opacity is good, but you don’t get any of those annoying brush or roller marks. It flies on with ease too!! Adhesion is an issue over previously painted surfaces.

I know primer undercoat isn’t exactly a sexy product, but this one is good. It seals the timber perfectly and you’re left with no brush marks.

WRX Eggshell Review

WRX Eggshell is a fully acrylic white eggshell capable of being used as an emulsion, or on woodwork. Being fully acrylic, you can apply this product directly to old oil-based coating without the need for a separate adhesion primer. Application and ease of use are fantastic, as is the overall finish, although it can be difficult to avoid brush marks when applying the eggshell to woodwork. Another awesome product.
