Like all our paint effects, this series is applied in layers beginning with a primer, then the effect paints, and finally the topcoat to seal and protect the finish. Here is the important part. During the application cycle, you have creative control to develop the Vintage Metal effect that suits your design.

How do we do this?

It is all in the magic of the patina. Our special patina is sprayed on the surface over the metallic base paint. Then it is sanded away with an orbital sander in an irregular pattern to create the desired weathered metal effect. Finish the Vintage Metal effect with one of our professional topcoats. The completed surface is a antique effect where the metallic base keeps its soft metallic shine while blending in with the patina.

All effects can be applied on small, larger or complex surfaces. For interior or exterior use. To see a step-by-step application, watch this video tutorial:

To test these wonderful 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, Vintage 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 Smoked Metal and Brushed Metal. These effects use the same metallic base paints and patinas, but the application and sanding away of the patina is different to create many more striking antique metal effects.
