(MS) - Aged metal accent pieces can add a touch of drama and elegance to any room in your home. While a beautiful baroque mirror, aged bronze lamp or patinaed copper vase can command a hefty price at the local antique shop, it's easy and inexpensive to transform ordinary household objects into extraordinary "Old World" masterpieces thanks to modern paint technology.
New decorative painting systems, like Modern Masters® Metal Effects®, can help you achieve a variety of beautiful aged metal finishes on old lamps, wood picture frames, ceramic sculptures - anything you can paint. And it's so easy even an inexperienced painter can create a modern masterpiece. Here's how:
· Prep the surface with Modern Masters Metal Effects Acid Blocking Primer. This specialty primer will seal the surface of the object you're painting and prevent aging solutions and activators from altering the desired finish.
· Apply a coat of reactive metallic paint. Metal Effects Reactive Metallic Paints are water-based for easy application and clean-up. They are available in a variety of rich colors - copper, pale gold, harvest gold, rich gold, iron, bronze and baroque - to appeal to a variety of tastes and to complement any décor.
· Apply a coat of patina aging solution, like one of the Metal Effects Patina Aging Solutions & Activators. Metal Effects Green, Blue and Black Patina Aging Solutions react with the metal particles in Metal Effects Reactive Paints, speeding up the oxidation process to create beautiful green, blue or black patinas in just minutes. Or, apply Metal Effects Baroque Activator to Baroque Metallic Paint or Rust Activator to Metal Effects Iron Paint to create the rich finish of the Baroque period or a real weathered rust finish.
· Protect your work with a coat of a protective sealer, like Metal Effects Permacoat Patina Sealer to protect the painted surface and prevent further oxidation.
