Gold Metallic

Our Gold Metallic has a shinnier effect than most others in the line. It is just the fit for accessorizing décor pieces. Add Fusion™ Antiquing Glaze over top to create a vintage gold look. We couldn’t create this line without including gold.

DIRECTIONS
Prep:
Clean your piece with Fusion’s TSP Alternative to remove grease and dust.
Remove Wax (if needed):
Use Odourless Solvent to remove any wax coating.
Light Scuff Sanding (if needed):
Sand high gloss finishes to dull the sheen.
Paint:
Choose any Fusion colour and paint beautiful.
Metallics:
Our metallics are made with real mica for a beautiful shimmer, for best results use a base coat similar to the metallic colour for excellent coverage. e.g. Brushed Steel use Little Lamb or Soap Stone, Copper use Tuscan Orange or Fort York Red, Pearl use any of our whites as a base coat.
Note: Priming is usually not necessary with Fusion Mineral Paint. For bleed-through or knots, use Zinsser BIN Shellac-based primer. For dark-to-white transitions, use a mid-tone colour like Sterling as a primer.
