Faux Finish: Metallic
Paint Overhead
Shine on! Copper,
Gold, Silver, Bronze, and now just about any color imaginable come in metallic
finish paints. The latest to hit the
shelves is the Ralph Lauren metallic in a rainbow burst of shimmers.http://www.ralphlaurenpaint.com/specialty_finishes/metallic
Here in sunny Southwest Florida, shades of gold
and copper are extremely popular for our soaring ceiling heights and to
complete the Mediterranean architecture.
If you’re DYI fan,
metallic paints can now be purchased through your local home depot (http://www.homedepot.com/) and
there are “How to Videos” on Ralph Lauren’s site…..BUT…… there are some steps
that they don’t explain. True if all you need is one color only, you could do
it yourself, maybe. Corners are tricky. And several times I‘ve had to go in and
correct client’s metallic paint overlap seams. The biggest difference is
dimension:
As a faux finish
artist, I’m creating a feel and texture with various colors and techniques.
That’s what a faux artist does. The results…breath-taking. Ceilings are a huge
blank canvas. Faux finish them in metallics artistically applied and they accentuate
and make your home something to be envied.
Metallic paints can
also be applied to Medallions to beautifully accentuate a chandelier.
