How To Use Metallic Paint On Your Furniture?

Using Metallic paints by Fusion is super easy and will give you a long-lasting shine!  When working with Metallics you have to keep in mind that it is a very sheer paint so your coverage is not going to be the best.  Therefore you are going to want to choose a base colour of Fusion that is similar to your Metallic colour!  We suggest trying to use our Continous Spray Bottle to keep the surface wet so you have extra time to smooth it out! If you are looking at full coverage with your Metallics we suggest applying 2-3 coats.
