Modern Masters Matte Metallic Paint Warm Silver Quart

Warm Silver matte metallic, quart (Modern Masters MM22132)

Warm Silver, color MM221, is part of Modern Masters' Matte Metallic range, a water-based acrylic that uses mica with traditional pigments to give a low-sheen metal look without tarnishing. Matte reads quieter than the Satin Metallic line, which suits silver leaf effects on a console, trim on a fireplace surround or a feature ceiling. Use it on any primed, paintable interior surface. Other matte colors in the range include Brass, Champagne, Gold Rush, Olympic Gold, Oyster, Pale Gold, Pewter and Platinum.

Free shipping at $35, no code needed (lower 48 + DC). 30-day returns on unused, unopened items; opened paint, aerosols and flammable liquids can't be returned (refund policy).

Rolling a wall without stripes

1. Prime with Metallic Primer or a listed compatible primer and let it dry, ideally overnight.
2. Load a synthetic 3/8 in nap roller and work in sections of about 4 ft.
3. Roll straight up and down, not in a W, then back-roll in a single direction from ceiling to floor.
4. Cut in edges with a Whizz roller, 3/8 in nap.
5. Give coat one 30 minutes and repeat; add a third coat if the color still looks uneven.

Spray instead with an HVLP or conventional cup gun, thinning with up to 16 fl oz of water per gallon; avoid turbine and airless units. Use low-tack tape and keep the can from freezing. Cleanup is soap and warm water. Want a darker metal? See Blackened Bronze Quart.

Questions

Do I roll matte metallic paint in a W pattern? No. The Matte Metallic TDS says to roll straight up and down rather than in a W, using a quality synthetic 3/8 in nap roller, and to cut in with a Whizz roller with 3/8 in nap.

How many coats will Warm Silver need? The TDS calls for a minimum of 2 coats and says some colors need 3. Recoat after about 30 minutes.

Which primer goes under Warm Silver? Modern Masters sells Metallic Primer in Cool Tone (337170 quart, 337184 gallon) and Warm Tone (337171 quart, 337185 gallon). Pick the tone that best supports the silver you want, and test on a sample board.
