It was found that not only is gloss achieved using these formulations but also for maximum effects, the paint should be produced at low CPVC, high degree of pigment dispersion and enough quantity of alkyd resin incorporated. A simple designed and fabricated devices used in this measurement are called Luminometer, a type of Loxmeter that was used to monitor surface glossiness. This proved to be reliable and handy. Keywords: Glossy-emulsion, Toluence, Defoamer, PVAc, CPVC, Glycol and Paint. INTRODUCTION The surface of many object corrode in the air and are damaged by the effect of weather and wear if not protected and taken care of. For example, iron rusts and wood deteriorates in the atmosphere (1). As many materials become available, the need to modify the surface continues to grow (2). Many surfaces widely believed to be satisfactory without coating are actually attacked by weather, chemicals, atmospheric pollution or other factors and must be protected before certain uses. The wide variety of surfaces which must be protected and decorated has
