FAQs

What is a liquid metal coating?

Liquid metal coatings are ready-to-use metal finishes that bring the look of polished or brushed metal to almost any surface, including non-metallic ones, without special equipment. They’re versatile for art, design and architectural applications.

Do liquid metal coatings contain actual metal particles?

Most premium liquid metal coatings contain a high percentage of real metal powder (such as zinc, brass, or copper) suspended in a resin binder to achieve authentic weight, cold-to-the-touch feel, and realistic luster.

Can I achieve a 3D textured effect with liquid metal?

Absolutely. Because liquid metal is applied in a fluid state, it can be manipulated during the curing process to create bespoke textures, trowel marks, or artistic reliefs.

How long does it take for liquid metal coatings to cure?

While touch-dry in a few hours, full chemical curing usually takes 24 to 48 hours depending on humidity and temperature, after which the surface can be polished or sealed.

Do liquid metal finishes require a topcoat?

A topcoat is often recommended for liquid metals to prevent natural tarnishing (unless a patina is desired) and to provide extra protection against cleaning agents and physical impact.

Do you ship internationally?

Yes. We can ship our finishes worldwide.
