Rosco Metallix paints are water-based, acrylic paints that are formulated with mica powder to produce vibrant metallic finishes. Metallix paints can be applied via brush, roller, or spray to any appropriately primed surface and dry to an even, satin sheen. Available in quart and gallon sizes, Metallix is perfect for scenic artists looking to enhance scenic elements, paint gilded set designs, and add metallic highlights on props. Below, Matthew Pagliaro, Rosco’s Product Manager for Paint & Scenic Solutions, shares the unique properties and benefits of Metallix paints that are already generating excitement among scenic artists.
The advantages of mica powder
- Vibrant metallic finishes
Mica is a versatile material with unique reflective properties that enhance the metallic sheen and color without metal flakes. We use mica powder in Metallix to create rich and vibrant metallic finishes that shimmer with depth and dimension.
- Flame retardant with Roscoflamex PA
There is another advantage besides just looking pretty. Roscoflamex PA can’t be used in metallic paints that contain metal flakes because it tarnishes the metal and curdles the paint. Because Metallix contains no metal, there’s nothing to cause an adverse chemical reaction. Therefore, Metallix paints can be made flame retardant just like any other Rosco paint.
Six Unique Metallic Finishes
Metallix paint offers six stunning metallic finishes, carefully crafted for scenic artists and set designers. From the warm shimmer of Gilders Gold to the deep, earthy tones of Burnished Bronze, each shade delivers a dynamic, high-quality metallic effect.
Mix & tint with other paints
Metallix paints can be easily tinted to a variety of shades and hues while retaining their metallic sheen. Mix with other Rosco paints to create lustrous versions of the colors you already know and love!
Rosco Metallix paints add a subtle, authentic metallic sheen to any surface, offering scenic artists endless creative possibilities for truly stunning results.
