Add a matte metallic sheen to craft projects with DecoArt Matte Metallics. Offered in a variety of trendy and classic colors, you are guaranteed excellent adhesion and rich, smooth coverage on all your craft projects.
Matte Metallics come in 14 traditional and jewel-tone colors.
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.
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.
