Weaver Livestock Stierwalt Maxx Pro-Touch Paint Black — 0.7 lb finishing coat, deep dimensional black with subtle sheen

Stierwalt Maxx Pro-Touch Paint in black is a finishing coat designed to deliver a deep, dimensional black with a subtle sheen while remaining safe for adhesives used in show finishing.

Weaver Livestock’s Stierwalt Maxx Pro-Touch Paint (Black) is formulated as the second step in the Stierwalt two-step finishing system, applied after the Stierwalt base black. It’s engineered to deepen contrast and add controlled shine without compromising the holding power of adhesives or breaking down underlying bonds that other glossy coatings sometimes do. The result is a show-ready appearance with reliable coverage and a touch of durability.

How does this paint enhance depth and dimension?

Maxx Pro-Touch is blended to emphasize the tonal range created by the base black, bringing out highlights and shadows for a richer, three-dimensional look. The finish adds a calibrated shine rather than an overt gloss, so features read clearly under show lights without appearing flat.

• Formulated to intensify contrast created by the base layer
• Subtle sheen highlights natural contours and texture
• Provides consistent coverage for uniform appearance

Will this paint affect adhesives or hold?

Unlike some shiny finishes that can soften or dissolve adhesives, this Pro-Touch black is specifically designed to avoid adhesive breakdown. It preserves the bonding of applied materials while still delivering an attractive finish and modest holding properties where needed.

• Safe over standard Stierwalt base black without weakening bonds
• Maintains adhesive integrity for tack and trim
• Offers light holding power to support finishing details

How easy is it to apply and what coverage can I expect?

Application follows the Stierwalt two-step method: apply the base black, then finish with Maxx Pro-Touch for color depth and sheen. The formula lays down evenly for excellent coverage, helping reduce touch-ups and speeding show-day prep.

• Designed for smooth, even application over base black
• Delivers strong coverage to minimize rework
• Packaged as a single 0.7-pound unit for convenient handling

What visual result should I expect on show day?

When used as intended, Stierwalt Maxx Pro-Touch produces a deep, rich black with controlled shine that reads well under lights and in photographs. The finished look emphasizes depth without sacrificing the structural integrity of adhesives or trim.

• Deep black tone with nuanced highlights
• Balanced sheen for photography and judging rings
• Reliable performance under standard show conditions

Who is this for? This product is aimed at competitors, handlers, and finish technicians using the Stierwalt two-step system who need a finishing paint that enhances depth and gloss without compromising adhesives. It’s suited for anyone prepping gear or animals for shows who wants dependable coverage, a refined black finish, and the peace of mind that their adhesives and trims will remain intact.
