Rust-Oleum 253613 Metallic Accents Paint, Quart, Satin Clear

I bought some moulding for a frame around a fossil tiled backsplash for a dry bar, which's has nickel hardware. I bring that up because a wood frame would have been too dark and silver would have been too polished a look. I searched for iron metallic, but it came up too industrial, modern, and dark. I was shooting for an aged-looking frame, sans caulking, kind of a steam punk, old looking frame. So, I painted two coats of Jolie chalk paint in graphite on the frame. I looked for Jolie metallics but they were too bright. The pewter gave a nice depth without going black and heavy. I used a chalk paint brush to spread the pewter, but tamped the brush of excess to get a nice coverage without heavy brush marks, but still getting consistent coverage. It’s Beautiful and I haven’t added the clear wax yet, but will. I’ve used the wax on other projects and it’s so much better than clear coat. The small pot covered about 18’ of 2” wide moulding and there’s enough for a second coat, but I’m thinking the one coat is enough. I tried using the pewter without the base coat and straight onto wood but it didn’t have the depth and beautiful finish, so a proper base coat is needed.

This is a beautiful paint with a semi gloss shine. The color is true to the picture. If you are painting over a dark wood, you will need to prime the wood or add several layers of white paint to achieve the perfect finish. Use a roller brush for a smooth finish. It takes a little time, but it is well worth the finished product. I have not completed the project, but I am happy in the interim.

This paint, while fairly pricey (the trial size was not available when I purchased this), was exactly what I was looking for. I made a fire engine for my nephew out of wood and brass, and wanted a paint that matched the brass as closely as possible. Rust-Oleum Metallic Accents in "soft gold" fit the bill admirably (see photos). In addition, the paint covers very, very well - I was using it to paint over red, which is a notoriously difficult color to cover over in one coat. UPDATE 11/20/2019 I still use this very same container to accent some of my projects - so it has remained usable for two years! It is a VERY thick paint. I used brushes for my project, and I imagine a roller would work to apply this paint as well, but I can't imagine getting it thin enough to run through a sprayer without ruining the covering properties of the paint and severely impacting the quality of the finished project. Overall, I am incredibly pleased with the paint - though I do wish the price was more reasonable. Finally - it has been over a year since the fire engine project was completed - and I just today opened the paint to use a bit, and it seemed to be just as fresh as it was the day I first opened it in November 2016. I credit the container and the tight-sealing screw-top with preserving the paint. I kept the foam disk that came inside the lid, which also probably helped. So, while I paid quite a bit for the paint, it was a pleasant surprise to realize that it has a very long shelf life, and therefore I can squeeze out a little more bang for my buck.

I had purchased this to sponge paint over a dark silver metallic accent wall! I needed to brighten it up as my MoM was my happy with how dark the Silver Metallic paint looked once applied. Her exact words was that it looked like an concrete garage floor. We had use a Metallic Tones paint by PPG. I had a feeling she was not going to like however I did because I knew that if I sponged a metallic pearl over the ‘concrete garage floor’ as she called it she would absolutely love it!!! My go to metallic pearl has always been deco art textured metallic pearl but I knew this paint was to thick to use for sponging. On a whim I came across this Rustoleum Pearl and I was beyond impressed with the color and the viscosity of this paint! I would consider it a medium viscosity! I did not add any glaze as most do when sponging and I think it came out great and most importantly my MOM ABSOLUTELY LOVES her new accent walls! I am not completely satisfied not because of this color but because I am going to add some metallic deco art silver and I am also going to add some navy blue leafing foil to it (navy blue is her accents in throw pillows)! I did order the navy blue foil sheets from Amazon as well and will be adding the final detail during the first week of February 2022 & will make sure to update my photos for you to see! The only thing I need to learn how to do is capture the beauty of these gleaming metallic walls with a camera to show the world one of the endless possibilities you can create with this beautiful pigmented paint! Oh and I forgot to add I did two walls one 15’x11’, 25x11’ and still have half a container left!

This is a very good value price for such a high-quality gold paint. This gold paint does react with other paints in a very unusual way as it sometimes creates antique looking cracking on the surface coat, if it is combined with other colors or in layers. It’s an excellent effect if that’s what your looking for just be aware this may happen. As would be the case of added to a canvas or mural another bonus it is a easy cleanup product. I recommend this paint and would buy it again.

Love how this paint looks. Its coverage is great. My photo has a sample on wood with just one coat. Also my photo looks silver but it is a pinky gold color. Second photo is two coats.Dries pretty quickly. This particular jar of paint was used, so it was a good price. Paint is fine. You could tell someone opened the jar but it was not used. First shows the jar is full.

Awesome product. Painted a drain color that my builder accidentally installed with a black drain. I painted 2-3 coats and sealed with modge podge. It is working great?

We used this paint to make gold stars on the ceiling. Even shaken and layered, you can see the dark green color of the ceiling behind the painted stars. Be aware that it is runny and semi-translucent and not great for solid color.

Great!

Really good metallic accent . I got the gold mine and it is just like the name describes. It is not a bright yellow but a darker mustard color metallic. Really nice I ordered more. A little goes a long way, the tiny bottle will last me a while. But I'm only interested in accent/detail work nothing intensive. The clock's face trim was black and I did the bottom trim.

I love goes on so smooth and looks great on my bathroom cabinet

Good coverage and easy to work with. Only took two coats. Make sure you sand the surface lightly to get good contact. Lovely stuff. These the side tables only used 1/3 of the jar!
