I did like your video and it was helpful. I bought the metallic paint at home depot and he said just use a primer under the metallic but I see the basecoat is a better idea Thank You!
Yeah I don’t recommend just over a primer - because the metallic is sheer - you will see the color underneath. I would choose a complimentary color to whichever metallic color you chose
which 'grit' number for sanding in between coats please and TIA
I like a sanding sponge - fine or x-fine
Have you ever sprayed fusions metallics?
I have and actually they spray way better than brushing. Since they have pretty heavy mica pigments in them when brushing you have to go one direction for a smooth even finish. Spraying is much easier and nicer
This is perfect! I’ve been looking for the answer to this question and now I’ve found it!!! Thank you 🙏
Awesome! You are so welcome! Thank you for watching!
Can you use metallic over SFO Fusion
You could - just keep in mind Metallics are different than traditional paint - with the mica pigments you have to go one direction when applying for a nice even finish
Your video is very explainable ... Can i use a light gray primer as my base coat with a champagne metallic paint?
Thank you I’m so glad! Yes you can, the idea is to give it a base of some sort because it is sheer! You may not like the color of the champagne over grey primer though. I would test on something first to see if you like the look.
@@BorninaBarnBoutique Thank you so much... GOD Bless You.
Can I use chalk paint as the base coat, can I seal it with clear wax after the metallic paint?
I would suggest using the fusion mineral paint under it as a base coat. Metallic paint is a little tricky to work with and going over chalk paint vs the fusion paint that has a built in top coat that will help with ease of application will yield you a better final result. Traditional Chalk paint is very matte and you may find a lot of drag going over it. Again fusion has a built in topcoat so I wouldn’t sell with wax over the metallic, if you want to sell I would use a water based topcoat.
Would you recommend just going over with metallic over a store bought frame? I have some gold frames from Michael's that have some light scratches.
You could or you can use a product called rub n buff - it’s thicker snd very pigmented and works well for a job like this
@@BorninaBarnBoutique thanks!
What do you seal it with at the end?
A water based topcoat - I used General finishes high performance top coat in satin
@@BorninaBarnBoutique Thank you. Is that washable? Can I assume it's clear?
@@celeste37083 it is clear - washable? It does make the piece more wipeable for sure
Can you use Metallics in a sprayer when painting nightstands?
You can yes, they spray beautifully
Thank you so much For the quick response and all your help for videos. I really appreciate it. May I ask one more question? Now that I’m painting my end tables the marble tops won’t match. What would you suggest on top of marble?
@@tammyhead4101 your welcome. marble can be painted, you will want to scuff it, use a gripper/primer for good adhesion and paint!
Beautiful. Thank you!
Great video. I’ve painted a buffet in Goddess ashwaganda, would you recommend metallics over the top?
Thank you. I would recommend using a base coat under your metallic, they are sheer and tend to look better over a base color and you won’t use as much of the metallic that way (it is more costly for the metallic paint).
Hello how are you?... I pray that all is well. Question?... Would a off white. base color work well with a champagne metallic paint? I would love to do my dinning table and chairs.
Hi there. Yes that would be very pretty. I have used champagne over off white, light taupe, and many other light colors, it will look very nice,
Which Fusion metallic color would you use over the Victorian Lace color from Fusion?
Pearl would be my first choice and then Champagne would be beautiful
@@BorninaBarnBoutique thanks!
I painted and vanity with white chalk paint..I immediately regretted it and I would like to paint it metallic..Can I use a white chalk paint as my base then put silver metallic over top? Also, what do o need to seal it with
DanaBFerg you can. Metallica are very sheer and work better with a base - just keep in mind if your trying to cover the white it make take several coats depending on which metallic you use. Any water based top coat! I prefer General Finishes high performer top coat
I got the Ebook and im sure I will be going back to it for tips time and time again.. Thanks!.. Do you ever stencil on furniture?? if so could you do a video on it..
itsmeamanda01 awesome! I don’t do stencils, but if I ever do - you know I will do a video on it! 😀
I did a dresser top with coal black MFP and then brushed steel overtop but still not crazy about the finished look. Could I do Ebony SFO overtop to give it more depth?
Working with metallics is tricky, since they are made with mica pigments you have to go one direction for a smooth finish or you can spray it. You can, I am not sure what it will look like as I have never used SFO over a metallic.
Can you use General finishes High-performance satin topcoat over fusion metallic even though it’s a different brand?
Absolutely!
@@BorninaBarnBoutique Thank you so much for the quick reply! This video helped so much when doing my nightstands. Metallics are a bit challenging at first but your tips helped a lot!
@@tammyhead4101 you bet! Yes they can be challenging! So glad it was helpful! Happy painting!
i have a large shiny oak dresser. should i sand off shiny ness before starting base coat ?
Pam Kadel so for the best adhesion with a shiny finish, I would sand/scuff by hand with a fine grit sandpaper or a scotch brite pad. If your really concerned, I would also use a primer/gripper for added adhesion. The key to a great finish and problem free painting is good prep,so that is what I would suggest 😀
can I put the metallic in the glaze?
Yes you can. I mix any of my fusion colors into their glaze.
Thank you!
Do you still recommend General Finishes High Performance top coat?
@@shellyluminais2374 I do! Its my go to topcoat!
@@BorninaBarnBoutique Ok, thanks
Good videos!
Did you ever tried Mason Blanche Paints?
Yessy Quiles I have not - I don’t have a retailer near me, I had reached out to the company as well and didn’t get any response. I would like to do a review on their paint - I may just go online and order up a sample.
would you recommend a base color if I am painting a piece of galvanized steel?
Kamil Arzish hmmm. That’s a good question! I have never painted steel or metal. I would try without and see what happens. It has good coverage on its own you may just have to de a few coats to get the look you want
@@BorninaBarnBoutique Cool wonderful! I appreciate the tip a lot.
oh I need to try these.. Do you use your clingon brushes with the fusion paint?? (I thought they could only be used with water based paints and fusion paint is not water based.. )
Yes and Fusion is a 100% acrylic, water based paint. It is completely fine to use your cling on brushes in acrylic paints.
@@BorninaBarnBoutique perfect.. The 100% acrylic part confused me! Thanks SO much for clearing it up for me :)
Thank you! What do you use for a topcoat?
Gail Prochaska my go to is General Finishes High Performance Top Coat in Satin
Ah of course! It needs a base! Thank you this was really useful
Hello what is the best way to clean the brush from metallic Silver
Hi! If you don’t have a brush cleaner, I would recommend Dawn soap, it works great for cleaning brushes
@@BorninaBarnBoutique thanks
