Create the Ancient Art of Patina with New Decorative Paints (WMS) - There are few things that can add more drama to a home's decor than the timeless beauty of aged bronze, copper or gold. And now, thanks to modern paint technology, it's easier and less expensive than ever before to accent your home -- both inside and out -- with the ancient art of patina. With new decorative painting systems, like Modern Masters® Metal Effects® Decorative Painting System, even inexperienced decorative painters can transform ordinary moldings, railings, rain gutters, vases, objets d'art -- anything that can be painted -- into extraordinary Old World masterpieces in a few easy steps. Here's how: Step 1: Apply a special acid-blocking primer, like Modern Masters Metal Effects Acid Blocking Primer, to the surface of the object you want to paint with a brush, roller or spray. Step 2: Apply a coat of reactive metallic paint. Metal Effects Reactive Metallic Paints are water-based for easy application and cleanup and are available in an array of colors -- copper, pale gold, harvest gold, rich gold, iron, bronze and baroque -- to appeal to a variety of tastes and to complement any decor. Step 3: Apply a coat of patina-aging solution, like one of the Metal Effects Patina Aging Solutions & Activators. Metal Effects Green, Blue and Black Patina Aging Solutions react with the metal particles in Metal Effects Reactive Paints, speeding up the oxidation process to create beautiful green, blue or black patinas in just minutes. Or, apply Metal Effects Baroque Activator to Baroque Metallic Paint or Rust Activator to Metal Effects Iron Paint to create the rich finish of the Baroque period or a weathered-rust finish. Step 4: Apply a coat of Metal Effects Permacoat Patina Sealer to protect the painted surface and prevent further oxidation and enjoy the ancient art of patina in or outside your home for years to come.
