Soft Pastel Metallic Paint - Pearl Purple

Soft Pastel Metallic - Pearl Purple is available in three shades that won't overpower your room, artwork or creation.
Subtle and Pastel shades are delicate metallic purple colours that create an elegant pearl finish (they really do look like a pearl).
"Subtle" shade just has a hint of colour as many pearls do. "Pastel" shade has a little more colour but is definitely not overpowering. 
"Medium" shade is a bolder pastel colour, in-between a light pastel and a strong Metallic colour. The colour can be described as metallic lilac.
 
Subtle and Pastel shades should be painted over white (paint white first if required).
Medium shade can be painted over any colour. 
Highly durable for interior and exterior applications.
 
Soft Pastel shades are often preferred for interior features (walls, doors, cupboards etc.) when a more subtle metallic look is desirable. In full sunlight outdoors, the colour effect can appear very light and our normal metallic paints, with their bold colours, may be a better option.

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".
