Ardenbrite Metallic Paint is a high quality, solvent-borne, metal pigmented paint. Ardenbrite has enjoyed a reputation as the finest metallic paint available since its establishment in 1927. It is ideal for the redecoration of theatres, churches, museums, civic buildings, hotels, restaurants, public houses etc. where a distinctive decorative effect is required. It is suitable for interior and exterior use on plaster, paper, wood, plastic, ceramic, previously painted or primed metal, previously painted and Cementitious areas.

Ardenbrite Metallic Paint is also suitable for painting bridges, lifts, lamp posts and balustrading as well as domestic items such as plasterwork, radiators, doors, iron gates, railings, fencing, ironwork and metalwork. Overcoat with 2 coats of Ardenbrite Protective Glaze when used outdoors, or, one liberal coat of Ardenbrite Protective Glaze for internal areas where the finished surface is likely to handled or knocked. Use Ardenbrite QD Base Coat as a primer and adhesion promoter where necessary.

The fast drying formulation enables the system to be applied quickly with minimum disruption and provides an excellent alternative to traditional methods of gilding - the Sovereign Gold colour is established as the only acceptable substitute for gold leaf, is easily applied and at a fraction of the cost.

Approx coverage is 12 square meters per litre.
