Metallic Powders

Bronze Powders

Bronze Powders are available in 14 different shades which can be intermixed to produce further variations of colour if required.

They can be used on their own, mixed with wax or mixed with Ormoline Metallic Paint Medium to make a hard wearing metallic paint. This can be applied to Wood, Metal, Sealed Plaster or Gesso.

20/25g of powder is sufficient to make up 120ml of paint.

Bronze powders will tarnish if left unprotected so it is advisable to protect with an Ormoline sealer or varnish. Acrylic Wax sealer on top of the Ormoline sealer will give a satin finish. Dead flat varnish or any spirit based matt varnish on top of Ormoline sealer gives a matt finish.

Pearlescent Powders ( Mica )

Pearl-Lustre pigments are made from Mica flakes, finely coated with titanium and/or iron oxides. The thickness and combination of coatings produces refraction of light to give an appearance similar to oil film on water. Pearl-Lustre pigments can be mixed with any medium, are non-toxic and totally lightfast. They are impervious to acids, alkalis, water and temperatures up to 800 degrees C and are best used over dark base-coat colours. They give a wide range of effects (from soft satin to sparkling brilliance) over other colours. The brightest shades can be obtained by mixing a tiny amount of black pigment ( 1:100) with the pearl lustre pigment. Duller effects are obtained when they are mixed with opaque colours or matt mediums.

Pearl Lustre pigments are sold in 100g jars (kilos available on request) in the following colours:-

Silver Pearl
Gold Pearl
Glitter Gold
Bronze
Flash Pearl
Platinum Gold
