Pearl Metallic Paint is a pearlescent white metallic finish that can be used on its own or customised with Polyvine Acrylic Colourant. Adding Acrylic Colourant allows you to create your own shimmering pastel metallic colour, making Pearl particularly versatile for decorative painting projects.
Gold Metallic Paint comes in several gold colours, including Pale Gold, Bright Gold and Antique Gold. These shades can be used to create decorative gold effects on furniture, plasterwork, mouldings, ornaments, metalwork and other suitable surfaces. For projects where you want a traditional aged or antique appearance, Antique Gold provides a different character from the brighter Bright Gold and softer Pale Gold finishes.
Silver Metallic Paint provides a sleek, shimmering silver finish suitable for both interior and exterior decorative applications. Silver can be particularly effective on furniture, decorative objects, picture frames, plasterwork, metalwork and architectural details. Using a similar-coloured base coat can help improve coverage and produce a more even metallic appearance.
We recommend applying 2–3 coats of Metallic Paint, depending on the surface, colour and level of coverage required. Metallic paint is translucent, so the number of coats required can vary between colours and surfaces. Using a similar base coat colour can greatly increase the covering power and help produce a more even metallic finish.
Polyvine Metallic Paint takes up to approximately 2 hours to dry, although drying time can vary depending on temperature, humidity, ventilation and the surface being painted. The re-coat time is approximately 4 hours but high temperatures and direct sunlight can affect the working and drying time.
Polyvine Metallic Paint provides approximately 10 square metres of coverage per litre, although actual coverage can vary depending on the colour, surface and application method. Because metallic paint is translucent and different colours have different covering abilities, it is always worth allowing for additional coats when calculating how much product you need.
Yes, Polyvine Metallic Paint is particularly effective for decorative painting and restoration projects. It can be used to highlight architectural details, mouldings, furniture, sculptures, ornaments and other decorative surfaces. Polyvine has featured a staircase restoration at Tapton Hall in Sheffield where Pale Gold was used on mouldings and Antique Gold on railings, demonstrating how different metallic shades can be combined within a single decorative project. You can see this here.
A separate primer is not necessarily required on all suitable surfaces, but proper surface preparation is essential. Using a similar-coloured base coat can significantly improve metallic paint coverage.
Metallic paint is translucent, and its reflective finish can highlight differences in the background and application. We recommend using a similar base coat colour and ensuring the surface is properly prepared.
Careful preparation and application are important. Brush and roller marks can be accentuated by the metallic sheen. Spray application can provide a smooth metallic surface but must be done carefully.
