White Knight Paints - Putting
a Shine on it
Metallics - lustrous, sassy, simple,
smart - they are the highly desirable finish that
can bring an instant look of sharp style to any
surface. Think tables, coffee tables, magazine
racks, cupboard doors, stools, shelves. Add
a metallic finish to anything tired or dated and
it's given a whole new life!
| The good news is that the truly
instant and highly affordable means of achieving
a metallic revamp comes in a can and appears at
the press of a button.
White Knight Paints has a range
of metallic finishes to suit all tastes - Squirts
Silver and Gold, Metallic Spray in Brass, Copper,
Gold and Silver and the gorgeous Metallic Tones
in a collection of pastel metallic pinks, lilacs,
greens and golds.
Then there is the ultra shiny Super
Chrome and Super Gold, the rich Brass, Copper, Gold
and Silver tones of Metal Guard and the highly textured
surface of Hammered Finish in Silver, Copper, Gold,
Coral Red, Pacific Blue and Charcoal.

Some of these finishes, such as
Hammered Finish, don't require a Primer while others
give a brilliant chrome-like lustre (Super Chrome)
and all can be used on practically any interior
or exterior surface such as wood, metal, wicker
and masonry.
Before applying any White Knight
spray paint, make sure the surface to be painted
is both clean and dry. Most finishes are touch
dry in only 10 minutes, with the exception of Hammered
Finish which takes about an hour.
The table pictured was an old white
coffee table made out of MDF. By simply lightly
sanding the surface and applying two coats of Squirts
Silver and a set of casters it became a very modern
piece that worked well with this season's soft furnishings.
