    Creating a Gold, Metallic Glaze

    • Create Mixture A: Create a gold, metallic glaze using 50% Time After Time and 50% Mirror Mirror.
    • Add desired colorant. For this mixture, I used a 4:1 ratio. 4 parts of Mixture A and 1 part colorant. For this demo,  I used a Tobacco Brown colorant. 

    • This metallic glaze can be used on a variety of projects and surfaces.
    • The possibilities are endless.


  • Metallic Paint Demo

    Riverway

    Base paint surface with Behr 3703 River Way. Let dry.

    • Create a metallic paint using 4 parts Mirror Mirror to 1 part Riverway latex paint.
    • Apply with roller.
    • Apply mixture to 100% of surface with a metallic roller nap. 
    • This is a semi-opaque coverage. Apply additional layers as needed. Allow to dry between layers.

    Tips for working with all metallic paint product:
    • Roll from top to bottom on the last pass, to minimize flashing created from mica particles.
    • If covering large surfaces, apply 10% of Time After Time acrylic glaze to mixture. Adding Time After Time will decrease laplines for any latex or acrylic metallic paint.
    • I like to add 10% of Time After Time acrylic glaze to increase the fluidity of my metallic paint.
    • For a different visual effect, use 4’ soft bristle brushes to Crosshatch surface across entire surface to minimize inconsistencies. This will create a different visual effect.
    • Let dry between layers.

    Metallic Glaze on Cabinetry

    • When you first get your glaze give it a good stir. 
    • This demo will show you how to make a single color glaze that you can use on cabinetry, trim work or furniture.
    • Start by creating a 50/50 ratio with half Time After Time, and half Mirror Mirror. Now add one part colorant, creating a 3 to 1 ratio. You can use latex paint or an acrylic colorant.
    • For this demo I used a coffee colorant. 
    • If needed, to increase the color saturation, add more colorant as needed.
    • Just remember if you are recreating this formula, write down your measurements.
    • Now, brush your glaze formula onto your surface area and simply wipe off with a soft cloth.  
    • This will give an antique look to the smooth surfaces and remain accumulated in the grooves. Let dry. 
    • I always put a protective sealant on top of my furniture trim work and cabinetry. Let dry.
