Metallic paints, like those in Modern Masters' Metallic Paint CollectionTM, can expand your color palette and indulge your craving for luxury, giving you more exciting options for creating stunning finishes. What's more, the new water-based metallic paints are easy to use. That means you don't have to have artistic talent or special skills to give your next project some elegance and shimmer.Want to create a room with drama - or just want to add a little luster? Try one of these techniques to turn your next painting project from ordinary into extraordinary:
Add drama with a metallic accent wall or stencil. Roll on one of Modern Masters' 40 designer colors, like Cranberry Mist or Mystical Green to create an accent wall that will be a dramatic focal point for any room. Have a favorite stencil? Roll a coat of metallic paint onto the wall. Then, stencil in a complementary color. Try colors like the Metallic Paint Collection's Platinum over Shimmering Sky to create elegance and drama.
Tip from the Pros: Always prime with a quality primer-sealer like Zinsser's Bulls Eye 1-2-3® before you paint to seal the surface and create a neutral "canvas" for your colors.
Go with a stripe: bold or subtle, it's up to you. Stripes are a great way to add pizzazz to any décor. Go bold with colors like Plum and Pale Gold from the Metallic Paint Collection. Or, "barely there" with a sheer translucent metallic paint, like Pearl White over a flat off-white colored paint for just a touch of shimmer. Simply tape off your stripes and roll with an ordinary whiz roller. It's that easy!
Add a little shine and dimension to ragging, sponging or frottage. Apply a base coat of semi-gloss latex paint in the color of your choice. Then choose a metallic from the Metallic Paint Collection and mix with Modern Masters' new Extender following instructions. Rag, sponge, frottage or use another decorative painting technique to achieve more dimension and interest than you can achieve by applying ordinary latex paint.
