Rusted Corrugated Sheet
Metal Effect
The look of rusted
sheet metal isn’t just for outdoors anymore! There’s been a surge of rusted
look for exterior enhancement anything from roofing, siding, and fencing. But
the look can be brought indoors too. Sure, a rusted effect treatment can be
done on actual sheet metal and mounted but that can require base boards and
doors framed to be removed and replaced depending on the wall you choose. An easier
way is to create the whole effect with only paint. I have the delight of
creating unique bespoke faux finishes all throughout this home (short tour below).
The most recent was on the wall space surrounding the entrance door. The wall
space may be small, but the effect is huge:
I started out with a
medium gray base. The next layer is a silver metallic:
The lines were
measured out:
Then the fun really
begins. There are several ways to achieve this, here’s what I used for this
project:
Base SW7670 gray
shingle
From Faux Effects Int’l:
Base 2: Set Coat
Metallic Silver
Mid shadows: Metal Glow Urban Steel
Deep shadows: Set
Coat Metallic Black
High Lights: Metal
Glow Luna White
Rust: Designer Rust
(in
the deepest portion of rust I added a touch of Burnt Umber)
I love working with
the metallics from Faux Effects. They’re buttery smooth. The Metal glow formula
absolutely gleams like no other.
This faux finish fits
in perfectly with the other faux paintings throughout this delightful home:
