Pébéo Fantasy Moon hammered-effect paint, 45 ml

Create glossy, pearlescent textures on jewellery components, decorative objects and mixed-media work. Pébéo Fantasy Moon is a ready-to-use solvent-based effect paint: its hammered pattern develops as it dries. You receive one 45 ml jar in your chosen colour, without a brush, dropper or painting surface.

Choose colour and contents

Compare light pearl and sand shades, warm and dark colours, gold, silver and metal blue, or the four fluorescent colours. Colour numbers help when reordering. Fluorescent shades give bright accents; the Moon effect describes a surface texture rather than a promise of glowing in the dark.

Creating the effect

Stir thoroughly with a stick before use. Work on a clean, carefully degreased surface lying flat and horizontal, such as glass, mirror, ceramic, terracotta, metal or prepared wood. Apply a thin or thicker layer with a flat brush; a dropper can dose small areas. This is not a water-based paint. If thinning is needed, use odourless mineral spirits or white spirit.

On an offcut, make two equal-sized sample areas with different layer thicknesses. Leave them flat and undisturbed to dry, then compare pattern, coverage and sheen from different angles. Record colour, layer thickness and surface before using the result on your object; the pattern can vary between applications.

Drying and mixed media

As a guide, allow about 2 hours to become dust-dry and about 10 hours for drying; layer thickness and conditions affect these times. Do not move or tilt the work while the paint is still flowing. A dust-dry surface is not ready for immediate resin pouring.

For marbled combinations, Moon can be used over still-wet transparent Vitrail colours, or Ceramic over Moon. For Gédéo Glazing Resin, let Moon dry thoroughly for at least 72 hours, apply Bindex and let that layer dry for 8 hours before pouring. Follow the chosen resin instructions too and try the complete build-up first. These extra materials are separate.

Working safely

Warning: flammable liquid and vapour. May cause drowsiness or dizziness. Repeated exposure may cause skin dryness or cracking.

Use only outdoors or in a well-ventilated area, away from heat, sparks and open flames; do not smoke. Avoid skin and eye contact, use suitable solvent-resistant gloves and splash goggles, and follow the label. Store tightly closed, upright and locked up, out of reach of children, protected from heat and frost. Dispose of leftovers and packaging according to local rules.

For decorative use only, away from surfaces intended for food contact. If swallowed, seek medical advice immediately and show the packaging or label.
