Overview Johnstone's Revive Metallic Paint does a wonderful job of creating a rich shimmering effect on even the dullest of surfaces. You can use it on its own as an opulent top coat, or layer it with Revive Chalky Furniture Paints and sand off for a distressed look. Use Revive Finishing Wax to add more depth and burnishing, or leave it uncoated for a smooth, metallic shimmer. It works a dream on ornate mirror frames, for a vintage inspired effect. Equally, it's fabulous for reviving tired furniture by adding gold or silver accents. A versatile metallic paint for upcycling projects.

Clean Up
Remove as much paint as possible from the equipment before cleaning with water
Preparation Clean the surface thoroughly with a mild detergent so that it's free from grease, waxes or polish.
Rinse thoroughly with clean water and allow to dry.
If you're painting a smooth surface or bare wood, lightly sand with a fine waterproof abrasive paper to provide a key.
If covering a previously painted surface, firstly remove any flaking or blistering paint. Again, rub down well with a fine waterproof abrasive paper. Be careful to avoid the inhalation of fine dust particles by wearing a suitable face mask if dry sanding.
Application Always test a small area of the surface to be painted to ensure you are happy with the finished results
Stir well before use
