To make the Faux Antique Bronze effect, you will use a combination of these two paints: AX.02 LIGHT CORTEN and AX.03 CLASSIC VERDIGRIS.

APPLICATION PROCESS:

  • Apply a WHITE primer suitable for the surface
  • Apply the first color to cover the surface. You can use AX.02 LIGHT CORTEN or AX.03 VERDIGRIS
  • Apply the second color in an irregular pattern or in any style you want. The second paint will be AX.03 VERDIGRIS or AX.02 LIGHT CORTEN
  • Apply a MATTE TOPCOAT to seal and protect the surface

The order the two colors are used will lead to two dramatically different finished effects. Here are samples to show the differences.

PROCEDURE #1: The first color applied is AX.02 LIGHT CORTEN and the second color is AX.03 CLASSIC VERDIGRIS

PROCEDURE #2: The first color applied is AX.03 CLASSIC VERDIGRIS and the second color is AX.02 LIGHT CORTEN

 

Watch this Application Video to understand the application process.

The application of these solvent-based spray paints are suggested for Professional or Industrial use only. This effect is not suggested for use as a wall paint.

The painting cycle has been studied mainly for internal and external decorative objects and for series and contract productions on wood and metal.

Because the creative options to make this Faux Antique Bronze Effect are unlimited, we suggest to perform application tests to understand the how to achieve the desired effect.

Also, only after the application of the matt topcoat is completely dry can you see the colours of the finished effect. The topcoat enhances the components in the paints leading to more vivid and bright colors.
