Pentart Delicate metallic acrylic paint 50 ml

Pentart Delicate is highly pigmented, water-based acrylic paint for an opaque colour layer with a soft, silky metallic sheen. Use it for painted decorations, coloured accents and highlighting raised details when you want a subtle metallic finish.

Choosing a colour and contents

Choose silver or antique silver for a neutral metallic tone. Greenish, bluish and purplish silver add a coloured silver accent. Gold, white gold, rose gold, dark gold and purplish gold offer different warm and tinted gold shades. View a dry sample from several angles: the sheen and colour impression vary with the light.

You receive one 50 ml jar in your chosen colour. The ten colours are not supplied as a set; a brush, sponge and object to paint are needed separately. The jar image and swatch help you choose, but a screen colour cannot replace a sample on your own surface.

Painting and comparing the effect

Work on a clean, dry, stable surface. Stir the paint gently and set aside a small portion. Use a soft brush for an even area or a lightly loaded sponge to pick out raised details. Test adhesion first on smooth or unfamiliar surfaces.

Compare a light and a dark base on a sample piece using the same colour. Apply one thin coat to each, then a second coat over half of each area once the first is dry. Judge coverage, brush marks and metallic sheen when dry. Record the base, coat count and method for the final project.

Thinning and drying

The paint can be thinned with water. Add small amounts to a separate portion and check the effect on coverage and handling. Allow coats to dry before continuing. The dry paint film is water-resistant.

Safe use

Follow the directions and safety information on the jar. Avoid contact with eyes and mouth, keep out of reach of children and close the jar after use. Collect excess paint and dispose of residues according to local requirements.
