Crown "Metallic" Paint

Hi, Im currently trying to pick a colour for my floating wall and I came accross the Crown Feature Wall Metallic look paint, I cannot seem to find any pictures of it actually on a wall so I was wondering if anyone has used it and what sort of effect it actually has?

Thank you

Re: Crown "Metallic" Paint

Hi
Did our son's bedroom a couple of months ago and found it gave a very patchy finish, although that couldve been our decorating skills. I could supply a picture if required.

My sister used this paint and unless your wall is super flat and super smooth, it will show up every raised and dented area so be careful. If you are planning to do your floating wall a different colour to the wall it's on, I would be interested to see the results (it could either enhance or ruin the effect)

Good Luck

What help do you need? Other than drilling through electric cables, your doing ok .

Groove was my inspiration (like many others) and all I needed to know was in his thread. I am currently recreating his floating wall design in my living room.

If I can offer any help, just ask and I will do my best
