Ardenbrite Water-Borne Metallic Paint
*all prices include VAT |
Ardenbrite Metallic Paint has enjoyed a reputation as the finest metallic paint available since its establishment in 1927. Finally after a period of research, Ardenbrite have launched a new range of water-borne metallic paints.
Manufactured in the Ardenbrite tradition, using genuine ground metal powders to produce the most realistic effect possible. It's new water-based formulation is quick drying, virtually odour free and easier to use than Ardenbrite Traditional Metallic Paint. Producing a lustrous bright metal finish on virtually any interior surface, it can also be used on exterior surfaces, although we tend to suggest the alternative full solvent-borne Ardenbrite system for external projects.
Ardenbrite Water-borne Metallic Paint is ideal for the redecoration of public buildings where a classical decorative effect is required. It is suitable for use on metalwork, plaster, paper, wood, plastic, ceramic and previously painted surfaces.
- Unique and classical decorative gilt finish
- High quality liquid metal coating.
- Range of traditional metallic colours available.
- Practical - easily applied and fast drying alternatve to traditional gilding.
- Versatile - wide range of applications.
- Suitable for internal and external use.
Preparation
Ensure all surfaces are sound, clean, dry and free from contamination. Bare porous surfaces: (eg plaster, concrete, plywood, MDF etc.) Prime and seal first with a suitable primer. Previously painted or hard/glossy surfaces: lightly abrade before application to provide a key. Non-porous surfaces: (e.g. ceramics, non-ferrous metal, radiators etc.) prime first with a suitable primer such as a modern adhesion promoting primer like Zinsser Bulls Eye 123. Bare ferrous metal: (eg Steel) Prime first with a suitable anti-corrosive primer.
Application
For best results apply 2 coats of Ardenbrite Water-borne Metallic paint. Apply by brush, roller or spray. On large areas the best results are obtained by spray application where the product should be thinned approximately 10% with clean water.
Theoretical coverage 10 square meters per litre. Practical coverage may vary depending on the porosity and profile of the substrate. Touch dry in 1 hour, and hard dry in 4 hours. These times are based on a temperature of 20°C, normal relative humidity and good drying conditions. Do not apply if temperatures are below 10°C, especially in areas of low ventilation.
Available in 250ml cans only, in Light Gold, Antique Gold and Silver colours.
