METALLIC APPLICATION: 1. Apply two coats for desired effect to be evident.

4. When brushing, strokes should be in a single direction - vertical, diagonal and horizontal strokes each appear as different shades. 5. Start at the base of the wall rolling in an upwards direction . Work systematically and continuously move along and up the wall. 6. The application technique will affect the appearance of the paint. The recommendation is to practice on a small section of the wall before painting. 7. Avoid touch up areas on broad-wall application. 8. Pearl and Metallic paints can only be applied to smooth surfaces.

2. Pearl and Metallic paint have metal filings that sit at the bottom of the container when not in use. Stir well with a flat paddle for 5 minutes before use. During painting, stir every 30 minutes to ensure these metal particles are mixed into the paint. 3. Overlapping can be an issue with these paints because of the metal filings and the glossy nature of these paints. It is suggested working off a wet edge when doing these applications.

TIP: Add one part acrylic scumble Glaze (GSL 1) to the metallic paint. As mentioned before, overlapping on metallic paints can be more obvious, especially if you’re painting an entire wall with metallic paint. The paint retarder acrylic scumble glaze will lengthen the drying time of your metallic paint, giving you a chance to smooth the lap lines before the paint dries.
