The best results come from careful preparation and application. Start with a suitable primer, then apply a first coat evenly with a brush or roller. Once the dry time has passed, add a second coat to bring out the metallic effect and ensure walls are properly covered.

Using a roller gives broad coverage, while a brush can highlight texture in metallic effect paint. The application process is straightforward but benefits from patience, as thin layers help achieve a smooth, consistent finish.

Metallic affect paint from Licata is suitable for many surfaces, including plaster, painted walls, prepared wood, and certain plastic finishes. For best results, use a primer before the first coat and apply thin layers with a brush or roller to achieve an even metallic effect in silver or gold colours.

The paint is fast drying in normal conditions, though low temperatures may extend dry time. Each coat should be fully covered before adding the next to build depth and glossy finishes. Our UK range is available for quick delivery, making it easy to create stylish rooms with durable metallic character.

Metallic paint contains reflective particles that create a shimmering metallic effect, giving walls a unique visual depth. Standard decorative paint, by contrast, provides colour without the reflective metal qualities that make finishes like silver or gold stand out.

The metallic range available at Licata is ideal for projects where visual impact matters. By using metallic decorative paint, you can achieve effects that are not possible with traditional finishes, allowing a space to feel more refined and on trend.

We recommend using a high-quality primer to prepare walls before applying metallic decorative paint. The primer helps the first coat adhere properly, ensures colours appear more vibrant, and prevents uneven absorption across surfaces.

Once primed, the decorative paint can be applied smoothly to achieve consistent metallic effect finishes. This step also makes the second coat easier to apply, helping to achieve an even, long-lasting result.

Maintenance is simple with Licata’s metallic decorative paint as it is washable and designed for long-term performance. Regular dusting and gentle cleaning with a damp cloth are usually enough to keep the metallic effect looking fresh.

Avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive products on the walls, as these can damage the finish. With proper care, the gold and silver tones will maintain their glossy character, keeping your interior walls vibrant for years.
