Spray Paints
The metallic paints provide shiny, high quality finishing that is elegant and sophisticated.
The decorative paints with aluminium pigments can be used on surfaces exposed to weather changes, while bronze powders are recommended only for surfaces that will not be exposed to weather changes or aggressive conditions to the pigment, such as constant handling, sunlight exposure etc.

Some factors that interfere and affect the quality of the metallic effect should be observed, because systems with inadequate formulations may produce inferior quality finishing:
- Vehicle acidity and humidity contamination may harm the leafing effect or facilitate the metallic pigment oxidation, specially of the bronze powders;
- Contamination by sulphur will cause the destruction of leafing and gloss effects;
- High viscosities make pigment orientation more difficult and low viscosities may generate problems in the application;
- The solvents should preferably have high superficial tension;
- The indicated resins should have low acidity level;
- If the use of driers is necessary, lead and manganese driers should be avoided.
