How to Use Matte Metallics
Shake well. Clean surface. Apply 2 coats with brush. Allow 2-3 hours dry time between coats. Finely sand between coats. Water-based. Indoor / outdoor. Soap and water clean up.
Tips for Matte Metallics
For a textured look, use a high-density foam roller instead of a brush.
Clean stencils quickly before paint dries.
No primer or sealer is needed before painting or to protect the finish afterwards.
Do not add Drying Time Extender, Fabric Medium, or any other medium to any Matte Metallics. It can lessen the intensity of the metallic finish. Dilute with water when needed.
Brushing in one direction will ensure a smooth finish.
For a burnished look: base coat surface and let dry. Apply a second coat of Matte Metallics paint, in the same color or a contrasting color, using a round wax brush in a circular motion.
Allow to dry 2-3 hours between coats.
