Pentart Glamour metallic acrylic paint 50 ml

Pentart Glamour is highly pigmented, water-based acrylic paint for a sparkling silver- or gold-coloured metallic finish. Use it for gleaming accents, painted decorations and ornaments where changing light brings out the metallic sheen.

Choosing a colour and contents

Platinum, black silver, antique silver and dark silver offer four different silver shades. Rich gold, greenish gold, antique gold and reddish gold form the gold group. Choose an undertone that works with the rest of your piece: a greenish or reddish gold gives a different colour impression from a neutral silver.

You receive one 50 ml jar in your chosen colour, not a set of eight colours or a 100 ml jar. The jar image and swatch help you choose. Matt base paint, a brush and a painting surface are needed separately; assess the dry colour on your own sample.

The matt base and metallic effect

First apply ordinary matt acrylic paint in a colour matching your Glamour shade. This coloured base helps emphasize the sparkling finish. Work on a clean, dry surface and let the base dry. Then spread a thin coat of Glamour with a soft brush. Test adhesion first on smooth or unfamiliar surfaces.

Make a sample with three equal areas: no coloured base, a light matt base and a matching matt colour. Use the same quantity of Glamour and the same brush direction. Once dry, compare undertone and sheen from one fixed angle, then with moving light. Record the base and layer sequence to repeat the combination you prefer.

Thinning and drying

The paint can be thinned with water. Add small amounts to a separate portion and observe how handling and the metallic effect change. Allow each coat to dry before continuing or moving the object. The paint film is water-resistant once dry.

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.
