Product Information

Full details

This guide is for artists and crafters looking to add a brilliant, metallic shine to their projects using DecoArt Metallic Lustre. The primary benefit is the ease of use and high-impact finish achieved with a single coat. However, be aware that the finish is best suited for accenting and detailed work rather than large surface areas due to its application method. DecoArt Metallic Lustre is a water-based metallic wax that buffs to a brilliant shine, featuring highly concentrated pigments and opaque coverage. It adheres to most absorbent surfaces and allows for more control during application than liquid paint.

FAQs

What surfaces can I use DecoArt Metallic Lustre on?

How do I apply Metallic Lustre?

Apply with a soft cloth or sponge for even coverage. For detailed work, use a small brush.

Troubleshooting

Metallic Lustre appears patchy after application.

Ensure an even application. Apply a thin layer and avoid over-saturating the surface. Buff thoroughly after drying.

The metallic finish is not as shiny as expected.

Make sure you've buffed the surface with a clean, soft cloth after it has dried completely. The buffing process is key to achieving a brilliant shine.

Metallic Lustre is not adhering to the surface.

Ensure the surface is properly prepared by cleaning and lightly sanding. Apply a primer if necessary, especially on non-absorbent surfaces.

Clean tools immediately after use with soap and water before the product dries.
