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 can be tinted to a wide variety of colors using universal colorants. Perfect for scenic artists looking to enhance scenic elements, paint gilded set designs, and add metallic highlights on props.
Metallix paint is pigmented with mica powder to create rich and vibrant metallic finishes that shimmer with depth and dimension. Mica is a versatile material with unique reflective properties that enhance the metallic sheen and color without metal flakes.
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!
Unlike metallic paints made with metal flakes, which can corrode when treated with Roscoflamex PA, Rosco Metallix paint is formulated with mica powder, allowing it to be flame retardant without compromising its finish.
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.
Finish: Satin/Reflective
Solvent: Water
Binder Type: Vinyl Acrylic
Recommended Dilution Ratio: If the Metallix paint needs to be let down, add up to 4oz of water per quart or 16oz of water per gallon.
Surface Preparation: Metallix paint should be applied to surfaces that have been primed with an appropriate, high-quality, water base primer that has fully dried. Establishing a base color for the primer similar to the chosen Metallix color will result in better coverage and reflectivity.
Application: Stir well before use. Apply in thin, even, uniform coats, using a high-quality brush, roller, or by spraying*. Do not apply when surface or air temperatures are below 50°F (10°C) or above 90°F (32°C). Follow the Recommended Dilution Ratio above if thinner paint is desired. Note that over-thinning may result in loss of hide.
*Spray equipment specifications:

Professional quality scenic fitches at an affordable price
Iddings brushes are an ideal choice for students, teachers or professional scenic artists.
These low cost scenic liners, or fitches, are carefully manufactured in the United States with long natural bristles to yield a smooth, even stroke. They can be used on a variety of stagecraft materials, including muslin, canvas, lumber and such non-porous surfaces as plastics and metal.
Because the bristles are natural, not nylon, Iddings brushes will become fully charged with scenic paint that is thinned with water, such as Iddings Deep Colors casein paint, Off Broadway, or Supersaturated Roscopaint. Each Iddings brush features a full head of tapered bristles, offering the artist an option of painting a wide or thin stroke.
Seamless nickel ferrules keep the bristles tightly bundled for effective use. Polished, sealed handles have the right heft for students and scenic artists and resist wear and damage.
Iddings brushes should be washed in warm (not hot) water immediately after use and rinsed until all traces of paint have been removed. They should be laid flat or hung by the handles for drying. Periodic cleaning of the brush head and soaping the bristles into place after cleaning will aid in maintaining its original shape, prolonging the life of the brush.
