How do I use metallic pigments?

Metallic pigments are mixed into transparent varnishes,
resins, or coating systems and applied by brush, roller, or spray gun.

How do I use pigments in epoxy resin?

Add a small amount of pigment into clear epoxy resin, mix
thoroughly, and adjust the amount depending on the desired opacity and effect
before application.

What is the recommended mixing ratio?

  • Brush
    application: 15–20 g per 100 g varnish
  • Spray
    application: 7–10 g per 100 g varnish
