Aluminium Silver Paint

The only pigment in this paint is real aluminium powder. This creates a high gloss, metallic aluminium finish with an attractive shimmer. 

About this paint

Highly durable paint for interior and exterior applications. 
Hard, durable, stain resistant and easy to clean with a glossy, shimmering finish. 
 
Being a water-based paint it can be used on polystyrene cornices. It is also wonderful on plant pots, picture frames, hand rails, balustrades, cupboard doors and can even be used to transform a cheap plastic table into an aluminium table. It is also great in acrylic pours (see video link below). In the photos you will see polystyrene cornices, a wooden mirror frame, old wooden banisters and a cheap plastic table all painted with this Aluminium Silver Paint. 
 
For normal applications this paint is too glossy and shiny for feature wall applications. Higher gloss paints are more difficult to paint walls with as surface defects, roller defects and application defects show up very clearly when using glossy paints. Use our Metallic Paints for Standard Applications, Bright Silver or Deep Silver, for feature walls. Walls do not require a Super Adhesion paint. 
 
This is one of very few water-based aluminum paints manufactured worldwide because fine aluminium powder is explosive when placed in water making these sort of paint very difficult to manufacture. 
 
Enjoy the environmental and health benefits of using water-based metallic paints.

How our Aluminium Silver Paint differs from our standard Silver Metallic Paints

We also manufacture two other Metallic Silver Paints (see Bright Silver and Deep Silver in our Metallic Paint range). They also contain real Aluminium Pigment but other pigment types as well. This Aluminium Paint only contains real aluminium pigment and is thus more glossy. Being a Super Adhesion product it can be applied to more surface types to give them a real aluminium finish. 
 
This paint is expensive to manufacture but for art or features that require something extra special then this may be just what you need. 
 

Super Adhesion Technology

Pure acrylic paint with Super Adhesion Technology. This paint can be applied directly to masonry, plastics*, melamine, resins, wall tiles**, non-corroding metals***, ridged rubbers, fabrics and interior wood.
  • *Lightly sand plastics and resin with a fine sandpaper before painting to enhance adhesion.
  • **Do not use on high gloss wall tiles.
  • **Non corroding metals include aluminium, galvanised steel, stainless steel copper, bronze and brass. 
To prepare this paint for air-spray applications, thin it with our Acrylic Spray Medium (which is also a Super Adhesion product).
To prepare this paint for Acrylic Pouring Art, condition it with our Metallic Paint Flow Control.  
 
 
Keep out of reach of children
All our products should be kept out of reach of children under 5 years and anybody who may tend to place items or liquids in their mouths should be supervised. Even packing can become a choking hazard.

If you want to apply Metallic Paints directly to surfaces that normal paints won't adhere to then please see our Super Adhesion Metallic Paints. Our Super Adhesion Metallic Paints can be applied directly to a wide range of surfaces including plastics, resins, non-corroding metals and wall tiles. This Aluminium Silver is a Super Adhesion Paint. 

What you need to know about application

If Painting feature walls, large surfaces, very smooth surfaces or spraying our Metallic Paints then it is important you read our document, "How to Paint with Metallic Paints". For best results there are specific rules and painting techniques that should be applied so some knowledge is necessary and even practice is recommended. You can download this document from this web page, from the Technical section of this website or we can email it to you. 

Our document, "How to Paint with Metallic Paints" covers both painting with brush & roller and spraying. Below is a summary of the most important points. 
 
The important points when using a brush and roller are the following:
  • Keep a wet edge (critical for large surfaces).
  • Thin the paint a little if required. 
  • Use correct roller movements (when painting a wall move the roller only up and down).
  • Use good quality rollers.
Always start on one side or corner (not in the middle) and keep a wet edge. To assist keeping a wet edge do not paint in conditions that speed up paint drying. Don't paint in direct sunlight or in a breeze and apply a primer or undercoat to porous surfaces to avoid drying by absorption. When painting large surfaces such as walls, a second painter is necessary to do the cutting-in and the person with the roller must go over as much of the cut-in area as possible while it is still wet. If you paint over paint that has partly dried, the pigments will be lifted and will appear different in the dry paint. 
 
A roller will usually give a better finish than a paintbrush. If you require a more uniform finish on smooth surfaces then you can thin the paint with our Original Flow Control or Acrylic Spray Medium. For roller application do not thin the paint with water.
 
Roller movements should be up and down or left to right but not both and not diagonal or haphazard. A second painter is also useful to assist moving the ladder so that the next area can be painted before the pervious area dries too much. The final roller motion in each painted area should always be in the same direction e.g. down. If some areas are finished with a downward roller movement and other areas with an upward roller movement then you will see the difference in the dry paint. 
Sticky rollers may cause slippage. Off-balance rollers will leave the appearance of barring in the dry paint. Use new good quality rollers and soft brushes. 
 
The important points when air-spraying are the following:
  • Thin the paint to increase its flow.
  • Remove the in-line spray gun filter if necessary.
  • Use the correct spray gun nozzle size.
For air-spraying the paint can be diluted with 14% water (140ml water per 1 litre of paint). Our Acrylic Spray Medium is perfect for spray applications that require paint with a high flow. This Medium thins the paint for spraying without any detrimental effects and is usually better than water. Depending on the flow that you require, you can mix Metallic Paint with an equal volume of Acrylic Spray Medium (depending on your spray gun you may not always require so much Air Spray Medium). 
 
Spray guns that connect to a compressor and operate at high pressure (e.g., 5 bar): Usually use a nozzle with about 1.8mm diameter and thin the paint as above.
Spray guns that have their own air generation unit built in usually operate at low pressure (e.g., 0.1-0.2 bar): They may not work with these paints but read our document "How to Paint with Metallic Paints".
