Mont Marte Metallic Acrylic Paint Intro Set, 8x18ml, Shimmering Artist Colours, Smooth Coverage & Glossy Finish

These paints use shimmering metallic pigments that produce reflective, metallic effects. They still behave like acrylics with smooth application and good coverage, but with a visually metallic finish that regular colors don’t have.

They work well on primed canvas, heavy or mixed-media paper, wood with a suitable primer, and other prepared surfaces. For non-porous surfaces, a primer or gesso helps improve adhesion and longevity.

Use light, even brushstrokes for base layers, and apply metallic highlights with a dry brush or thin layers to build brightness. Layer once the previous layer is dry to avoid smearing, and consider using a soft flat brush for even application.

Yes, you can thin with a small amount of water or mix with an acrylic medium to adjust flow. Do not over-dilute, as too much water can reduce color strength and alter the metallic effect. Test mixtures on a spare surface first.

A thin layer typically dries to the touch within minutes and is ready for additional layers within 15–30 minutes, depending on thickness and ambient conditions. Allow thicker layers to dry fully before layering to preserve the glossy finish.

Yes, the paints are labeled non-toxic and safe for artists of all ages. As with all art supplies, avoid ingestion and use in a well-ventilated area, especially for younger users.

Rinse brushes with lukewarm water and mild soap promptly after use. Wipe excess paint from the brush and reshape the bristles before laying them flat to dry to maintain brush life.

Tightly recap each tube after use and store upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keeping caps snug helps prevent the paint from drying at the nozzle.
