pretty color

I had trouble giving this an accurate score. I took one star off because they don’t show you what to expect from it on the product page. Is it metallic? Sort of. I can’t comment on the coverage, because the color I painted over was nearly identical in hue. However, it was much thinner in viscosity than one of the negative reviews that shows that it’s nearly inapplicable as paint. (They bought a different color that might have different chemistry). The color was fine, the viscosity was fine, however the finish, meh. It’s good, not great. It looks more “metallic” when light hits it a certain way, so maybe my lighting just isn’t ideal for it. See my pictures to see if it’s metallic enough for you. The light source is above and to the right of the painted medicine cabinet.

The color is definitely not the color of freshly brushed "baby" copper. It is slightly reder than copper water pipe, but that's the closest match I see. It is easy to clean up if you catch it right after it sets up, you can roll your finger over it and it will pull up just like most acrylics. Mine arrived clean and undamaged. I am very happy with this.

I used this paint to update my 30 year old bathroom mirrors. Went on easily, covered well. Water based is a plus. Would buy again.

I bought this to use on my driveway sign. The numbers have faded over the years. As the reviews said, the paint seems good quality. It covered the metal numbers well with two coats. Hope it lasts.
