Turn any surface into a rusted patina effect, with the vibrant colour and lived in feel of an old piece of metal work! This special system consists of a reactive paint with real metal pigment and an activator, this causes the surface to bloom in actual rust and verdigris! Accept no substitutes!
Depending on how you apply the activator you can create a wide range of effects, from drips and streaks of rust to an all over coating like weathering steel.
The system is easy to use and can be applied to almost any surface using a series of simple steps.
Firstly, we highly recommend using the Primer as this gives the best surface for the paint and also protects the surface from the Reagent.
Once the surface is primed apply two coats of the Reactive Paint, allowing two to three hours between each coat.
Then you can apply the Reagent over the painted surface, generally the best effects are achieved with an uneven application, such as using a sea sponge, but a wide variety of effects can be created depending on how you apply it. It's well worth doing some test pieces to practice achieving the perfect effects!
Finally once everything is dry protect the whole surface with two coats of Anti-Oxidant Finish to stop the process and seal in the finish, this prevents any further tarnishing and to keep the surface pristine!
