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!

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.

All White Knight spray cans are available nationally from hardware stores and paint specialist outlets.  For information on local stockists please telephone 131 686 or visit the company's web site on www.whiteknightpaints.com.au.
