This product was difficult to work with since it is semi-opaque. We took advice of others and painted a base coat of latex paint in pink then used this as a top coat or glaze. It took 3 coats of the Pink Pearl Metallic to cover evenly. It looks very nice now that we are done, but it was a lot of work. We also bought the Pearl White, which is very transparent and had to use 4 coats over a good primer. This color goes on looking Pearl White, but once it dries, it looks more silver (or gold depending on the light level). It was worth it as my daughter loves the new color, but the Pearl White is not one I would have chosen if we had realized how it would have turned out.

Great finished product. I painted (ok, I'm building a house, the painter did it) the ceiling on my powder room and as the others reviewers noted, 3 coats were needed, but the outcome was fantastic!

      Modern Masters has made the perfect micro-flake DIY metallic paint. This paint is really pretty. I painted three coats, but probably could have gotten away with two since I was painting clear pine. The metallic is really nice, and lays on evenly with very little effort. It needs to be applied at a temperature below 85 degrees Fahrenheit, so my larger outdoor project (rated for outside as well as inside) will have to wait a few months for AZ to cool down, which is why I have such a small test area. The color picks up all the light around it, so in the photos you can see a lot of yellow as my lighting in there is 2700 Kelvins, the warm, incandescent light I grew up with. When it was tilted towards the window, it picked up the blues of the sky and white of my patio and the green came alive! I am really excited to see how it lays down being sprayed onto my metal outdoor yard art piece—if it looks this good with a cheap brush, imagine how great it will look when the piece is properly prepared and sprayed! I like the pop of shimmering green on the back of the chair we painted. It looks great in our house, and my kids love it. This paint is a huge hit with my family because of how it looks, and it’s a huge hit with me because of how easy it is to apply. Clean up was just as easy with a water rinse then soap and water to finish the brush before storing it. Modern Masters has made the perfect micro-flake DIY metallic paint.

      Didn't apply well on metal
      This paint has a lovely rich and antiqued bronze metallic finish and it comes in a handy small bottle. I expect I will be able to use it for quite a few projects, but it didn't apply as nicely as I'd hoped on the project I'd gotten it for. I have two identical pieces of aluminum silver colored wall art, lots of metal squares pieced together. The squares are either rippled, wavy or smooth metal. I painted on the back side of the metal and I'm glad I did since it didn't end up looking very good. I used a small rectangular foam paintbrush and typical paintbrush style strokes. The paint went on very streaky and you could see the strokes, even on the rippled metal squares. So I switched to a round foam paintbrush and dabbed it on instead and the coverage was a bit better but still with a distinct pattern rather than just a solid painted surface. I really don't have the patience to prime this with something that will ensure better adhesion, so I am abandoning this paint for this particular project and will use spray paint for more even coverage. On the plus side: this paint has a very good consistency (not too thin, not too thick), is a beautiful color, comes in a size handy for artsy or touch up projects, and is water-based so it cleans easily off hands and brushes.

      Nice Color
      Nice rich color. I used this on some wood projects I was working on. I am pleased with the result. This looks extremely metallic in the jar but once dried the metallic components calmed down a little and are very even. I was worried about swirls but ended up with none. I applied this fairly thick and it dried fairly thin. If this is going to be used outside or anywhere there is going to be foot traffic I would follow the instructions and apply multiple coats. Even though I applied this thick and there were lines it did smooth out and leave an even layer. The dried color matches the the wet color almost identically. Makes for really easy color selections.

      Modern Masters is Fun Stuff
      I've been using Modern Masters Metallic Paints for years. I've used them here in the house as well as on fine cabinetry for a mansion in Key West. I used the particular color for two projects here at the house this week. One is a small frame that will host some exotic rocks. The other is an old bookcase that needed some freshening up. The paint may seem fragile, but in fact it's quite hardy and durable. It can be layered, sanded, comes in different types of opacity. This particular color is more of a paint. It needs a good like color as a base to show off the orange or to show it as a hint glaze, go over a very different color. The end result is definitely shiny. In these two cases I used Rutoleum's matte chalk paint in charcoal.

      Definitly a gold rush!
      I wrote a review on the platinum metallic as well. This paint manufacture has good color representation. This paint has a true metallic appearance. The consistency is thick and the adherence is good but you still need multiple coats for complete coverage. I used it for a small accent stripe in a room and it turned out well. I use it mostly for crafts and misc projects though. The kids love working with it. As i said in my review of the platinum. Use a brush for small areas or crafts but any smooth surface or wall should be a roller so it goes on consistant and lays flat with brush strokes

      looks great!
      I have not painted a whole wall with this but have used it more like craft paint. It has a different consistency that normal latex paint. Its a thick paint but takes multiple coats, very small thinks and areas it ok to use a brush but larger flatter smother areas need to be rolled or it will streak and not lay flat showing brush strokes. The best thing about the paint is its color representation. Its truly is a metallic platinum. Looks like metal if painted smooth.

      Shimmers!
      The paint can be used indoors or outdoors. Water based makes for a very easy cleanup with soapy water. The color is opaque and is a soft, creamy, burnt orange. Very very pretty! Not at all harsh or glaring. It is a rather thick paint that spreads easily. A little goes a long way! I got this to paint some metal property line markers so they would show up/reflect better. And it worked great! This paint can be brushed, rolled or sprayed on. The 32 oz jar states it covers 80 sq ft per quart. Semi-opaque paint has good coverage but 2 or 3 coats is recommended. Can re-coat in 30 minutes. Allow 1 hr to completely dry at 58'F. Instructional videos are available, Modern Masters You Tube Channel. When I was cleaning up,I took the brush and wiped over a wooden board to remove the remaining paint and saw how pretty it is. Now I want to paint more items with it!!

      Modern Masters Gold Rush Metallic Interior/Exterior Paint
      This semi-opaque metallic paint is so easy to use and has a good thickness that is easy to spread. Cleanup is quick and easy with soap and water because of the water base. I love that it has no obnoxious odor so that I can do some projects indoors. It comes in a plastic jar. The color is a yellowish gold, and it needs quite a bit of stirring to blend the color. I do like that it can be mixed with the other colors to achieve different results. Although it can be used outdoors, it is recommended that your projects be coated only with their own brand of clear sealant to preserve the metals. The paint does a good job of covering an item in 2-3 coats and I have plenty of outdoor refinishing to do when the weather gets warmer. It dries fast and can be re-coated in 30 minutes. It works well, but it is a bit costly because your project needs priming, painting, and MasterClear topcoat.

      Great for do-it-yourself projects
      I am a DIY and love all kinds of arts and artifacts. I tested out the Modern Masters 1-qt. Platinum Metallic Interior/Exterior Paint . Manufacturer says that it can be used to create a high-end decorative finish in a variety of circumstances or use it on a small accent piece or large architectural specification. I used it on exterior accents and waiting for the long term results and durability. It looks like tat it is durable and long lasting. It is good for for do-it-yourself projects, and It was very easy to use by a brush. The cleanup was very easy since the paint was made of water base. Another great thing notable was that there was barely any smell/odor.

      Make it New with Modern Masters.
      I am a DIY and love all kinds of arts. I decided to checkout the Modern Masters Gold Rush Metallic Interior/Exterior Paint and use it on an artifact of great value which was made of solid brass. It was tarnished due to aging, about 60 years. The result was pretty good, even though it did not come up to my great expectations, which was like 24 Karat Gold. It was very easy to use by a brush. The cleanup was very easy since the paint was made of water base. Another great thing notable was that there was barely any smell/odor.

      I read in the reviews before I bought it that you have to use several coats. I ordered too much, but that was due to my not being very experienced with paints. I did have to use several coats, but it looks great. I used it on my door to outline the window.

      LOVE the silver color. Dislike the application. I could not make it streak free. Better for small jobs rather than a wall or ceiling. Great coverage, easy cleanup.
