Metal Finishing

It is a metallic water-based decorative finish, suitable for lime-based plasters. Metal Finishing is available in Gold, Silver, Copper and Bronze color. It may be used in different layers or combined, to create impressive effects. Coverage: 300 square feet per 1 LT.

• Our Metal Finishing Wax comes in Copper, Gold, Bronze, and Silver Pearl. It is designed to be applied over Marmorino lime plasters that contain sand or aggregate.

• Important: Metal Finishing Wax should not be used over fine, highly polished Marmorino finishes. It works best over products with aggregate and texture.

• Copper, Gold & Bronze: I recommend first sealing the Marmorino with clear Soapstone Sealer. Once sealed, apply the Copper, Gold, or Bronze Metal Finishing Wax over it. These colors are very concentrated, so applying them directly to the plaster can overpower the original color and make the finish extremely metallic. Sealing first gives you more control over the final effect.

• Silver Pearl: Over a white or very light Marmorino, I prefer applying Silver Pearl directly over the finish.

• When using Silver Pearl over black or another dark color, seal the Marmorino first with clear Soapstone Sealer and then apply the Silver Pearl. This helps control the metallic effect and creates a more refined finish without overpowering the lime plaster underneath.

• Key Tip: With metallic finishes, the base color and whether you seal first can dramatically change the final appearance. Always consider the desired effect before applying the metallic wax.
