Questions & Answers

Can this be used to create a faux pearlized finish over a different/darker color base coat, by using a pearlizing trowel as opposed to a sea sponge roller?

Answer This Question

Happy to help! Rust-Oleum Modern Masters Metallic Paints can be used over other water-based paints if wanting to create a layered finish. If using a different application method than what is on the label, you will want to do so in a test area first or on a sample board to ensure favorable results. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 3

    just bought a new white refrigerator with stainless steel handles, can I use this to paint them to match my copper accents.

    Answer This Question

    We are happy to help, Susan! To ensure that Rust-Oleum Modern Masters Metallic Paint completely adheres to the handles, we recommend priming the surface with Rust-Oleum Zinsser Bulls Eye 1-2-3 Water-Based Primer. This primer can be topcoated after 1 hour, and at the store, some tint can be added to the topcoat color to help with coverage. To ensure complete coverage, three coats of copper paint will be required. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Zinsser-Bulls-Eye-1-2-3-1-Gal-White-Water-Based-Interior-Exterior-Primer-and-Sealer-2001/100398391 - Rust-Oleum Product Support 3

        Answer This Question

        Happy to clear things up! If wanting to use Rust-Oleum Modern Masters Metallic Paint over an oil-based paint, the surface must first be primed with a water-based primer to ensure full adhesion. We recommend Rust-Oleum Zinsser Bulls Eye 1-2-3 Water-Based Primer. This can be used over oil-based paints and then topcoated an hour later. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Zinsser-Bulls-Eye-1-2-3-1-Gal-White-Water-Based-Interior-Exterior-Primer-and-Sealer-2001/100398391 - Rust-Oleum Product Support 3

            We are interested in using the sheer metallic finish for painted walls. Does the basecoat need to be flat paint? Will 2 layers provide an even coat that allows the paint color beneath to shine through (fuschia pink)? Thanks
            BySep 12, 2024
            1 Answer | 
            Answer This Question

            Happy to clear things up! Rust-Oleum Modern Masters Metallic Paint can be applied over water-based paints and primers. Please keep in mind, the Pink Pearl color is semi-opaque and would have full coverage after 3 coats. If you have a pink base coat and just want to add a shimmering finish, we recommend using the Pear White sheet coat instead. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 3

              1 Answer | 
              Answer This Question

              Happy to help, Karla! Rust-Oleum Modern Masters Metallic Paint cannot be used on surfaces that will reach temperatures above 200°F. Higher temperatures will cause the coating to blister and peel. A primer also needs to be used for tile surfaces with this paint, and it must be water-based. If the surface does not reach temperatures above 200°F, we recommend Rust-Oleum Zinsser Bulls Eye 1-2-3 Water-Based Primer. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Zinsser-Bulls-Eye-1-2-3-1-Gal-White-Water-Based-Interior-Exterior-Primer-and-Sealer-2001/100398391 - Rust-Oleum Product Support 3

                We appreciate your interest, Sheila! Rust-Oleum Modern Masters Metallic Paint is intended to be used as a decorative finish and we do not recommend it for use on countertops. The typical use and cleaning of these surfaces can damage the coating. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 3

                  Great paint
                  Used this paint on my home theater ceiling. 2 coats. The second was just partial to remove any roller tracks. But my painter evened them out. The paint looks fantastic & makes the room “pop” . Just takes proper surface prep. The ceiling was textured & primed. I definitely recommend this paint!! In my photos the air vents are not in but will be painted bronze to match.

                      Used on an old dresser, 1940's or so. Main portions of the dresser painted white, and corners and edges accented with gold satin based metallic paint. Went on smooth and evenly. Very easy to work with.

                      So stunning
                      I used pale gold for my skylight and the color is absolutely beautiful. There is nothing pale about this color. It is rich gold. The sun and the paint it gives my kitchen a beautiful glow during the day and at night it is sheer elegant.

                        My accent wall is finished. I am a perfectionist so I was really paying attention to details. Metallic paint is not forgiving, so vey blemish in the wall it self show. I am very satisfied with the finish results, and have already received compliments on it.

                        The paint is awesome. It is very light colored once dried, so you will need to apply a few coats. Suggest to use this paint over a similar matte color. Water based so cleans up nicely if need be. Plus a little goes a long way. I advise to apply a thin/light coat a allow to fully dry each time. This will have a more even and smoother result in the end.
