Lifeline Accents is our newest two-coat color finish developed to make your home look fashionable with bold, striking options. At Perma-Chink Systems, we recognize global trends in color and style. This is why we provide our customers with exciting new colors for beautiful, unique homes.
We offer stylish, different-colored wood stains that excite our customers. Trim, doors, and architectural details often require a different tone to stand out.
The new colors create a wonderful accent for your wood trim, interior and exterior walls, fascia, millwork, timber, furniture, and other wood elements of your home.
Lifeline Accents Available Sizes
Our two-coat color wood finish is available in one and 5-gallon containers. Sample sizes help test a different color wood stain on trim or detail areas before committing to full coverage.
The smaller size works well for doors, railings, and accent sections. Larger projects or repeated use across multiple features often require 5-gallon pails.

How to Store
Keep the semi-transparent wood stain tightly sealed after each use. That prevents thickening and contamination. Store in a stable, moderate environment and avoid leaving the product in garages or outdoor spaces.
Conditions will fluctuate throughout the year. Check the material before reuse to confirm it has maintained a smooth, workable consistency.
The Application Process
Accent work requires consistency. Clean surfaces first. Then, apply the semi-transparent wood stain in controlled, thin layers. Use a brush for better precision around edges and trim.
Working slowly helps maintain clean lines, especially when transitioning between finishes. Testing placement and color beforehand helps avoid contrast issues once the stain sets.
Maintenance
High-contrast areas tend to show wear more quickly. Direct exposure can shorten routine maintenance cycles. Periodic touch-ups are necessary to maintain clear separation between surfaces.
As above, clean the area before reapplication to get maximum adhesion and consistent results. By addressing small changes early, you can avoid uneven fading across detailed sections.
