French Gold Metallic Paint is a heavy metallic paint is a specially formulated decorative metallic interior and exterior paint for furniture, cabinets, metal surfaces, plaster, concrete and some plastics. You may use Paint Couture™ Heavy Metallic Paint by brushing, rolling, spraying, or even dipping your project parts and pieces. When painting on metal, plastic, vinyl or glass, it is important to use an appropriate primer such as Paint Couture Sure Prep Bonding Primer. It is important to adequately stir Paint Couture Metallic Paints prior to use due to the high solids used to make our amazing product. For ultimate durability, use Paint Couture™ Topcoats.
Preparation: Clean furniture or cabinets using Paint Couture Fresh Start. A light sanding is recommended on glossy surfaces using 220 grit sanding paper or sanding pad. Remove wax with mineral spirits.
Kitchen Cabinet Preparation: In addition to the steps above, use denatured alcohol to remove grease and grime.
Application: Paint Couture Heavy Metallic may be brushed, rolled, or sprayed. Two coats are recommended. A one hour dry time is recommended between coats of paint under normal conditions, 50°-90°F. Applying Paint Couture Glaze after four hours will add depth to your work and provide a distressed or antiqued look. Use Paint Couture Premium Plus 2-in-1 Bonding and Blocking Primer for non-wood surfaces or for wood that may bleed through paint because of tannins. Paint Couture Topcoats are recommended for heavy interior use or our Extreme Guard Topcoat for outdoor use. Our Extender can be used to increase the dry time of our paints, metallics, glazes, and topcoats by adding small amounts, not to exceed 15%.
