Water-based paint Marabu 12640005784 Gold Metallic 50 ml

Marabu water-based Gold Metallic paint in a 50 ml container provides a metallic sheen and intensive colour depth for decorative and craft projects. The formulation is designed for porous materials and offers quick drying, good coverage and easy cleanup with water, making it convenient for painting and dabbing techniques on prepared surfaces such as paper, cardboard and wood.

Advantages

This metallic effect paint delivers a silky gloss and a pronounced metallic shimmer while remaining water-based and quick-drying. It offers weather resistance, smudge resistance and reliable lightfastness, with good coverage on absorbent substrates. The paint is suitable for both brush painting and dabbed textures, and can be thinned and cleaned up with water.

Suitable for

• Decorative craft projects on wood and MDF
• Cardboard, paper maché and paper-based artworks
• Stone, ceramic and clay surfaces that are absorbent
• Canvas and polystyrene when primed or absorbent

When it may not be suitable

Not recommended for non-absorbent, glossy or untreated plastic and metal surfaces without appropriate priming or a suitable adhesion primer. It may not provide durable wear resistance on frequently handled or high-friction surfaces unless sealed with a compatible varnish.

How to use

Ensure the surface is clean, dry and absorbent or properly primed. Stir the paint gently before use. Apply with a brush for smooth metallic coverage or use a dabbing tool or sponge for textured effects. Thin with water if necessary to adjust consistency and allow layers to dry between coats. Clean tools with water immediately after use.

What to consider before purchase

• Intended substrate and whether priming is required for non-absorbent materials
• Need for a protective varnish if the finished surface will be frequently handled
• Required coverage and number of coats for the desired metallic intensity

Usage recommendations

For best results on non-porous surfaces, apply a suitable adhesion primer first. Test on a small area to check colour and finish before completing the full project. Store the container tightly closed and protect from frost.
