My experience using Modern Masters Metal Effects Paint

Using primer before paint seems like a no-brainer, right? But if you're curious (or confused) about using specialty paint solutions, you're not alone. Read more about my trial and error with this medium in the link below.
In my case I was scared to make a mistake, so I followed the rules (and used the base primer) but didn't love the results on my first project, which was on a table earlier this Spring. (User error is likely, but sometimes it's personal preference as well as trial and error).
Now I'm easing my way back into using this new paint medium on my own terms, and I love the results.

Deb @ NomadicDecorator.com on Sep 19, 2014Really cool! I've made rusty picture frames on plastic frames. You'd never know they're not rusted metal. Love this metal effects stuff!

Marcia on Oct 05, 2015There's a paint that actually rusts because it has iron in it. It's kind of a charcoal gray when first applied. Let it dry 24 hours and apply a liquid that comes in the kit. It will begin to rust before your eyes. I like it because it gave a shiny plastic mirror frame the actual rough texture of rust. I found the kit at Sherwin-Williams, but I don't know whether this paint is still sold there.
