What it does
  • Gives acrylic color a metallic silver luster
  • Adds silver surface highlights when used straight from the bottle

  • Slows drying time to help you get more subtle color blends
  • Lowers the viscosity of heavier body paints
How to use it
  • Slowly stir as much as you like into acrylic color to get the metallic luster and viscosity you want - transparent colors give the best results

  • Compatible with all Liquitex products
How not to use it
  • If bubbles appear when stirring, leave to sit while they rise and disappear
