Colorantic metallic paints are water-based, which means they are opaque and easy to apply. These colours are shiny but not too harsh on the eyes.
We offer 6 colour variants:
- Champagne métallique (silver-gold, champagne)
- Bijou métallique (antique gold)
- Ciel métallique (blue)
- Cuivre métallique (bronze)
- Argent métallique (silver)
- Rose Gold métallique (pale pink)
Your brush will also be easy to wash afterward. Metallic paints replace gold leaf. No protective coat is needed afterward with metallic paints.
Colorantic chalk paint is applied with one of our brushes or a roller. It dries in 30 to 60 minutes.
The paint can be left as is, or a varnish or wax can be applied to protect it and make it more durable.
For glass surfaces, apply the paint directly with a grey foam brush.
If the surface is coated with a water-based varnish, clean it with Colorantic cleaner and dissolver (TSP-E) for 30 minutes to remove the gloss.
For surfaces with oil-based paint or varnish (usually antique desks or kitchen or bathroom cabinets), use TSP powder (very harsh, so wear gloves and ventilate the room). Wipe off the TSP with a cloth dampened with water and a drop of soap. Wait 1 hour for the surface to dry. Paint once there is no TSP left and the gloss has been removed.
For bare wood (pine, for example), apply the paint directly.
At Colorantic, we recommend preparing your furniture properly. We advise you to plan your preparation steps to avoid setbacks.
Remember that, according to all Canadian chemists, no water-based paint can be applied over an oil-based varnish or paint. That’s the golden rule!
Our metallic paint is ideal for finishing or restoring your wood furniture and can also be used to paint plastic, metal and melamine.
Perfect for arts and crafts, home decor, furniture makeovers, fabrics, DIY projects and more!
