Polyvine Metallic Shimmer

Polyvine Metallic Shimmer is a rich, luminous pearlised paint suitable for a wide range of interior and exterior surfaces, such as interior walls, plaster work, picture frames, furniture, pottery, metal gates, railings, architectural ironmongery and more. Use on its own or blend with acrylic colourants to create a vast range of pastel pearlescent finishes. Its unique and luxurious qualities have made it the perfect choice for use in decorative projects, such as museums, churches, theatres, bars, restaurants and famous country houses.

• To create shimmering pastel pearlescent shades, blend with Polyvine Acrylic Colourant

To get the best results, ensure surfaces to be painted are sound, clean, dry and free from all defective or poorly adhering material, such as rust, dirt, grease and wax.

Previously Painted Surfaces

• Thoroughly rub down previously painted surfaces, wipe off with a damp, lint-free cloth to remove all traces of sanding dust
• Special precautions should be taken during surface preparation of pre-1960s paint surfaces over wood and metal as they may contain harmful lead
• If using a base coat, use a similar colour to help increase the overall coverage

Always do a test area before starting any project to assess product suitability, colour and final finish. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the container at all times.

Stir the product thoroughly before use.

1. If adding a colourant, mix 500ml of Polyvine Metallic Shimmer with 50g of Polyvine Acrylic Colourant in a suitable container
2. For a lighter shade use less colourant, for a darker shade use more
3. Ensure the product is well mixed. Do not shake
4. Apply 2-3 full coats using a good quality synthetic brush, roller or spray system
5. On porous surfaces dilute the first coat with 10% water
6. On bare wood, lightly denib the surface between applications
7. Remove all traces of de-nibbing / sanding dust with a vacuum cleaner
8. Allow 2-4 hours between coats and 15 minutes to 1 hour after the final coat, before use
9. Protect surfaces from heavy objects for the first 5-7days

If a hammered effect is required, apply using a stippling brush

Application equipment can be cleaned using soap and water before the coating dries. Any dried deposits will need a paint stripper for removal. Once cleaned, allow to dry naturally.
