Coatings FAQs

How Thick Is the Paint Coating?

Depending on the finish, the liquid metal coating is usually between 400/600 microns once polished or antiqued.

Can I Protect a Specialist Paint or Liquid Metal Coating?

Yes, we can apply a nano wax that will last around 3 months to slow down the ageing process. Alternatively, we can apply a gloss, satin, or matt clearcoat lacquer to seal in the finish.

How Durable are Traditional and Specialist Paint Finishes?

The traditional and specialist finishes will perform like most paints. The liquid metal finishes are robust and durable with the same characteristics of the real metal however it is a thinner veneer. They are tested to abrasion standards for internal and external use.

Are Specialist Paint Coatings Environmentally-Friendly?

Our specialist paint coatings contain a low volatile organic compound (VOC) content, which means less contribution to pollution as these compounds are emitted at room temperature. This equates to a more environmentally friendly alternative with minimal emissions.

Liquid Metal FAQs

Does Liquid Metal Act like Real Metal?

Yes, our liquid metal contains 100% metal powder mixed with a binder to give a mixture of 96-98% real metal. It will feel and age like its sheet metal counterpart.

Where Can You Apply a Liquid Metal Coating?

If we can prime the substrate, we can apply liquid metal to it. We have a range of colour-matched primers for wood, plastics, glass, concrete, metals and many more.

How Durable is a Liquid Metal Finish?

We have taber abrasion DATA that competes with powder coating, and it has been tested for exterior use for up to 30 years without degradation. However, because they provide a coating of real metal, they can be damaged by impact just as real metal can.

Is Liquid Metal Suitable for Outdoor Use?
