Idea Metallic Colours Idea Metallici 60ml

When decorators need to gild certain surfaces, such as ceramic, paper or cardboard, delicate wooden surfaces or permeable surfaces, they need special metallic colours with extra resistance to oxidation and wear. Like Idea metallic colours, made of powdered metal suspended in resin. The best metallic colours are made this way, like the old shell gold. Solvent-based colours, authentic, strong and practical; long-lasting and easy to use.

Available in ten different metallic colours, which may be mixed to reproduce any kind of metal colour. All colours have good covering power if used pure and they absorb brushstrokes well. No special measures are necessary to apply the product with a brush: just make sure the surface is free of grease, sanded if too smooth, and, possibly, prepared with a base coat. May also be applied with a pad or sponge.

When painting items that will be outdoors, it is a good idea to protect this type of gilding with a thin coat of varnish to waterproof it. In this way you can obtain the smooth finish of metals without complicated procedures, using an easily applied, perfectly even colour.
