Using a range of fine metal powders, such as bronze, copper, aluminium and zinc, which are mixed with catalysed VLi® Clear PU, the metallicote® is spray-applied for a basic metallic finish. It can then be manually textured using a variety of techniques. After spraying, patinating solutions can then be used to achieve authentic aged effects.
