Somewhat difficult to apply. I re immense mixing small batches with an extender so it’s more pliable if you are layering or faux painting.

Nightmare
This metallic paint is a nightmare. Despite applying three coats, the roller streaks remained stubbornly visible and even changed direction with each layer. The final result was so unsightly that we considered putting caution tape to prevent anyone from entering the room. After seeing similar issues in other reviews, it's hard to believe that some praise this paint – it's almost as if they're being paid by the company to do so. A huge disappointment and waste of time and money.

    From dull and hideous to fabulous
    I had an old Sheraton type china cabinet. I painted it with the aqua looking metallic,back then it was called Ralph Lauren paint, and it looks amazing it's been about 10 years now and I don't even think it has a chip on it even though it's in a hallway . I took all the glass out and use the top for cookbooks and other books in the bottom for table linens.Very successful project. Sorry the photo shows all the contents in disarray because we are packing to move.

      The secret of success with this paint is....
      Let me start by saying I am a horrible painter. I will do almost anything or pay anything to not have to paint...Anyway my wife threw down the gauntlet and I was forced to paint my mudroom. Normal colors? HA! Not good enough for my Mrs... Oh wait she wants the door metallic?...@#$% OK Honey. So here is the secret to this paint...Do a good base coat, it is transparent hence the metallic properties. Also use a sponge roller to apply. The results will be phenomenal, even for novices like myself.

          Almost translucent; very thin paint
          Pink Blink: The consistency of the paint is very thin, almost zero coverage over a darker color. The attached photo shows two coats of paint applied by professional painters. Having to switch gears now and purchase the same color in an eggshell sheen (regular wall paint) just to get the required coverage, then doing a final coat with this paint for the shimmery effect. Extra labor costs plus extra paint cost make this paint a loser in my opinion.

            Don’t buy
            Hired a professional painter after applying 2 coats the same results roller marks ,paint brush marks & the consistency of the paint was thin.I’am very disappointed with the product at $60 a gallon which took 2 gallons not even covered all of the walls plus I bought a quart to paint a smaller area & same which was darker & the same results plus paying the painter double & purchasing a different paint brand. I was told by the salesperson that it’s easy to apply haha it’s a nightmare.

              Horrible!!!
              The swatch looks WAY different than when you actually paint it on. I just spent over $200 on paint and now I have to redo all of it. I got “Copper kiss” and loved the swatch, but after painted it looks bright orange!

                Not as shiny as samples and came out splotchy
                First attempt at metallic paint so maybe I just didn't do it right, I did watch a couple youtube videos first and used a sponge roller for the second coat. The color was fairly accurate to the sample (though I thought it'd look good from the sample but looked terrible on the wall) but I didn't think it looked nearly as shiny or metallic and there wasn't nearly as much patterning as the sample. Maybe it was a technique or equipment issue but I'm not very happy with the results.

                  Beautiful finish!
                  Overall the paint is beautiful and easy to work with. I would highly recommend going to the PPG website and reading the color description before you choose your shade. I chose Stannic to paint my backsplash behind my stove thinking it was a medium/dark gray. It is gray...but a blue-gray. It's very pretty, and actually goes with some of my kitchen decor, so I plan to stick with it. I'll just have to be strategic with where I place certain items so everything looks right. Since I used the paint for my backsplash, I added 3 coats of Varathane satin water based polyurethane so it's durable & can be easily cleaned. The metallic paint on its own is not very durable.

                  looks decent.
                  Some tips for those of interest: it doesn't show well over unprimed paint. the effect won't be visible until it dries. a sponge roller isn't really needed but gives the best effect as long as you paint in vertical lines. Make sure you have a good quality roller or it will slide messing up the effect. but it could still work if you want a brushed metal look. I've included images to show the difference between rollers. Lastly you may get larger light patches then you want but they can be fixed by touching up with a paint brush.

                          Just like you, my husband & i read so many reviews on this particular paint. Some are good. And some are very bad. But it seems the same problem is application of this paint. I will say for us, it was tedious work but you must have a lot of patience. We applied one coat & allowed it to dry. The next day another coat & again, allowed that to dry. Yes, it comes out thin but the more coats applied, the better the look becomes. On the third coat, we did not use the faux sponge. Instead we just used a simple 9 inch roller to create desired strokes immediately after applying the paint. The look of this worked well for us. We used 1 gallon of paint to paint a total surface of 2 walls. Our skill set of painting: 3 out of 5.

                          Gorgeous, but tricky
                          I hesitated given the "lack of sheen" reviews, but this is lovely and metallic. The tricky part is you MUST wait at least 12 hours between coats, or you get streaks. I am using this paint to redress kitchen cabinets, and it is lush and velvety. I can't wait to tackle the rest!

                            Great Finish, but these tips helped us take away Streaks.
                            Read the Can first - under "clean up" it says not recommended for textured walls. A little ridiculous because who reads that part of the can before you paint! That being said, we did paint it on textured walls. Two coats going very top to very bottom when you can, still had roller lines, BUT we then used a small sponge normally used for faux painting and dabbed where you could see the lines, once it completely dried it is perfect. Tapping (or dabbing) the areas where the roller lines showed after the second coat dried, made all the difference in the world. Color is what we wanted and expected.

                              If you use the recommended supplies and application technique it has a great texturized appearance.

                              Outstanding Results
                              I've used PPG Metallic Tones in two houses and had outstanding results both times. First, I applied a base coat of the least expensive Behr paint with a flat sheen and matching the metallic color as closely as possible. Then I applied this paint using a 6 inch foam roller, making short strokes, and changing the direction of the roller as I applied the paint. See the closeup to get an idea of how I rolled it on. If you do it this way, it only takes one coat of the metallic and it goes on very quickly. A couple of hints. If you are expecting a smooth metallic finish with no brush or roller marks, that will never happen and don't waste your money. The other hint is to make sure you have patched any imperfections in the wall because they will be more apparent with this paint.

                                This paint was perfect for my bedroom accent wall. I'm a novice painter and it was not difficult to do, except for the edging. It has a nice shimmer to it. Be careful as it will accentuate any nail poos in the wall.

                                      I absolutely love all the PPG metallic tones. If you are looking to make a transformation in your space this is absolutely what you need. I’m not a fan of boring paint colors and cookie cutter houses, so when I found this, you can imagine my excitement! I have this metallic paint in 6 rooms in my house, in several colors, plus our guest room at in-laws. Yes, it’s that gorgeous! I used this color in my laundry room, and had extra so I mixed it with one of the light neutrals for a lighter more ocean color, and used that for a small bathroom. Both turned out beautiful. I highly recommend taking your time with this product and following the recommended technique and painting steps. All good things take time and this is one of them. The textured sponge is an absolute must to get this to look correct! If your doing a small space, like a bathroom, be prepared to spend a lot of time sponging the edges, since you can’t roll to the edge. Just plan ahead. It is definitely worth it when it’s done.

                                        This paint is impossible to apply to get the gold hues to show, and instead shows every stroke of the roller! We stirred the paint repeatedly, and used a foam roller as the instructions say, and in the end, it just looks like a badly painted maroon wall. Super unhappy with my choice to buy this paint.
