What is a metallic wall Finish


What is metallic Wall Finish ?

Metallic paints are the new hot and trendy finish that can dramatically change any interior space from drab to fabulous. Metallic paints breaks the standards of traditional latex paint, they add shimmer, flicker and glimmer to any Interior space. 



Most paint manufacturing companies have their own brands of metallic paints. Metallic paints are water based paint and do not contain corrosive metallic flakes or solids as part of its content. 

Another question is how do u apply metallic paints to walls?. 
It can be with applied with brush, roller, a stainless steel trowel or a spatula depending on the desired design. The design or pattern achieved is dependent on applicator skills.





metallic wall finish colors for walls dont necessarily have to gold or silver, they come in different colors , blue, green, gray, pink, peach, orange, purple etc. Some are factory tinted while others would be tinted by the applicator

On a recent project , the client, Alhaji Luqman, asked us to do a grey textured metallic finish for his master bedroom, when we finished his room, he was so impressed with the finish that he asked us to replicate the same finish but in another color to the guest room 😮



Metallic wall finish plays with lights because of its reflective nature, it even changes color with light, day light has another color reflection, artificial lightning and low light at night will also bring out different colours and shimmer. Its truly a magical finish for luxury living spaces.

What is the price of metallic finishes? They are more expensive than normal painting since they are made from natural materials and pigments. They are also expensive than stucco paint CLICK HERE to read about stucco paint. They are  mostly used in high end luxury apartments and buildings. Price range from N4000-N5000 per sqm to get it done on your walls both materials and installation charges. 

Metallic finish are very durable about car last for a lifetime on walls used.
