1 gal Modern Masters ME206 Champagne Metallic Paint Collection, Satin Water-Based Decorative Metallic Paint

I am loving this paint! The coverage is fantastic and the color is the best, exactly what I was hoping for. One coat coverage is definitely enough. Two coats gives you an even richer metallic finish. I was afraid that the small container wouldn’t be enough to finish a vintage vanity I planned on painting. But to my surprise it was more than enough to do not one but two coats with half the container still left. You won’t be disappointed with this paint. I definitely recommend.

I tried to include different lighting in the pictures but this color was beautiful for my stenciled wall. I did run out of paint 75% of the way through the project and had to order more. It has such a pretty shimmer and definitely the warmth of satin nickel. It’s sheer so if you want it to be more intense you’ll need a second coat. I wanted it to be sheer so for me it was perfect. Hopefully it stands up to the test of time. It’s fast drying so if you are using a stencil like I was you’d need to move quickly. I used a foam roller which saved me time but did cause me to waste more paint compared to doing it by hand. It has a great consistency and the sheerness makes it buildable.

Ordered several MM sheer coats -- the other "white" colors left gray and pewter casts -- this one worked great over BM's Simply White.

The quality was perfect, exactly what I was looking for.

I got this paint twice. First, couple of years ago, I used it to paint the groves on some closet doors and a couple of drawer pulls. This time, I painted my black metal coffee and end table.When I painted the grooves on the doors, I bought an empty (new) lip gloss click pen and filled it with the paint for ease of application. It worked great on those groves. Still, it did take 3 thick coats and even 4 in some areas.For the end table, I did kilz primer first for adhesion then a million coats (5-6) of this paint then polyurethane.For the coffee table I smartened up, put a blob of the paint on a piece of paper and got a color match from home depot (was told numerous times by the home depot guy that he can't give me metallic and had to confirm I am clear on that and want it anyway). So I got away with primer, color match regular paint as base coat, then just 2 coats of this paint and then polyurethane. No difference in the end result between the end table and the coffee table.Some notes:*This paint has an interesting, almost gelatinous texture.*It does not have harsh smells.*It really does look metallic in the end.*It does take multiple coats, frustrating and after the first coat or even second it still looks totally sheer but after additional coats it starts to look as you'd expect.*Because it is metallic, i.e. shiny, it is harder to see and so paint evenly because of the way the light hits at different angles. Don't know if that makes sense, but if you try it you'd know what I mean right away. Just as you think its all done, you move it, the light hits it from another angle and boom theres 3 spots you missed that looked just fine before you moved it.*The jar i got 2 years ago had about 1/5 left (just a finger on the bottom) but to my surprise was still good, no difference in texture, etc after sitting for 2 years.*I have not had any issues with chipping, durability etc. But I have always used it over kilz adhesion primer and finish with polyurethane so maybe that played a role. On the flip side, I never sanded before painting with it, I just figured the primer is enough.*It will take multiple coats on your project but the tiniest droplet will stick to your clothes immediately and permanently (will not wash off!)! I ended up with a little on the shirt I was wearing and could not get it out so I made a few more "artistic" brush strokes on it and the shirt is now upgraded from plain to metallic print lol.*Totally worth the effort and multiple coats! In the end, it let me update the tables I have and keep them rather than spend couple of hundred dollars on new.Love it, beautiful rich color, 10/10 would recommend!

I used it to sponge over hidden sea glass color paint on my walls

Sorry, the picture does not do the paint justice.Gorgeous color! Although I used this paint in an unconventional way I painted my front door with this metallic orange and it looks amazing! I used one jar!

I discovered MM metallic paints about 20+ years ago and instantly fell in love with how easy they are to use and how extra special they make whatever you use them on. I've painted walls in my home, furniture, hardware, you name it, chances are I've painted it with MM metallic paint. As I'm in a new home (to me) I have been setting about with my interior design and realized I needed to expand my go-to MM metallic paint collection to include a darker brown metallic paint. Another reviewer kindly shared that MM English Brown is a perfect match for Oil-Rubbed/Venetian Bronze hardware and I absolutely agree. It's much darker in person than it shows online. Depending on the light you view it in, it almost looks black. The color reminds me of an espresso brown.Product came quickly via Amazon Prime, however the person packing in the warehouse failed to check that the lid was on tight and it made a big mess in the shipping box and on the jar itself and other item ordered in the box. I think from pressure on a shipping plane caused it to open, but if the lid had been screwed on tightly, it would have kept it contained within the jar.This jar of paint is expensive but will last you a long time depending on how you use it. Over the years I've found with the MM opaque paints a little goes a long way and sometimes, I don't even need a second coat depending on what I'm painting/covering. I love that you can just apply it to your surface and that you don't have to prime or the surface to get started on your project. It also will cure to a pretty hard finish, a bonus, and tends to be pretty resilient. I've accidently sprayed water on my metallic surfaces or used other household cleaning products and not had a problem with the finish.This paint is also enjoyably addictive to use. Once you've worked with it, you'll find you will want to start using it on many other things! Start with something small to practice with (like a wood coat hanger) to get a feel for how it goes on and coverage. This paint cleans up easily and quickly with soap and water after you are done working with it. I've turned friends on to it who now understand my love and reverence for it. It's uses are endless!

I purchased this product for a 'classy finishing touch' to my hand painted bedside unit that I created for one of my neighbours. See the attached photos. She loved the finished product. She actually picked up this unit from a 'tip' and after I completed it - instead of it being 'trash' it looked a 'beautiful swan'. This metallic in Pearl White was used on the top and sides of the unit. The product has real metallic particles - so when you use this, you need to keep stirring it so the metallic particles keep being 'mixed' instead of settling on the bottom of the jar. It is low odour and low VOC, quick drying and water based so you can wash your brushes in water, which is great.I highly recommend this product to whoever would like something a bit different to 'jazz' up a piece of furniture they are painting. You can also use this product on walls, trim and ceilings as well as furniture. You will need 2/3 coats, but you will not be disappointed with the outcome.

I painted an old mahogany TV cabinet with this and it has come up brilliantly. The colour you can see is the colour it has achieved. It is really easy to paint on and dries really quickly. I am very pleased with the result and it certainly changed the 'doubting' members of my family who thought I should throw this old cabinet away!

I had to wait quite a while for it, as it came from America, but it was worth it. Applies smoothly with a great finish. Would recommend.

Not the easiest paint to work with but effects are amazing

Brilliant coverage on my pottery items
