Like the Vintage Metal and Smoked Metal series, these effects are applied in layers beginning with a primer, then the metallic and patina paints, and finally the topcoat to seal and protect the finish. And most importantly, you have creative control to develop the Brushed Metal effect that meets your design requirements.

So what makes our Aged Metal Effects different?

It is all in the magic of the patina. To create the brushed metal effect, a light or heavy layer of our special patina is sprayed over the metallic base paint. Then the dried patina is sanded away by hand in straight lines to create a brushed metal surface with lines that can be soft or bold. Finish off the effect with one of our professional topcoats.

The completed surface is a traditional stripped effect where the metallic base keeps its soft metallic shine, but the patina creates a subtle or robust contrast. All effects can be applied on small, large or complex surfaces. For interior or exterior use. To see a step-by-step application, watch this video tutorial:

The Cromas Laboratory continually researches for the highest quality raw materials. For example, we only use real metal powders that comply with our requirements of brightness, coverage, strength, and ease of application. We do this with the aim to produce an anodized metallic base that is best suited to our special paint effects.

To test these exciting paint effects, a sample kit is available for purchase. The sample kit will have 1 kg of each paint needed to make the effect. We supply primer, Brushed Metal effect paints, matte topcoat and hardener and thinner for spraying. This can paint a 5 m2 area.

This paint effect can be sprayed on the following surfaces:

• Wood
• Metal – Iron, Aluminium, Brass, etc.
• Plastics – ABS, ABS-PC, etc.

For the Aged Metal series, there are two other groups of effects called Vintage Metal and Smoked Metal. These effects use the same metallic base paints and patinas, but the application and sanding away of the patina layer is different to create many more striking antique metal effects.
