Create metallic character on familiar furniture substrates and complex shapes without replacing structural metal in every application.
A material with character
Mirror reflections, directional sanding, patina and texture are tailored to the concept and approved sample.
Where it is used
Furniture and kitchen fronts
Islands, cabinet fronts, displays, tables and bespoke furniture.
Wall panels and portals
Doors, columns, niches, partitions and curved or large decorative structures.
Reception and retail fixtures
Counters, platforms, displays, hospitality and commercial spaces.
Interior objects and decor
Vases, lighting, sculptural shapes and decorative objects.
From polishing to textured surfaces
Sanded metal
Directional, linear, diagonal, crossed or circular sanding patterns.
Polished metal
Smooth reflection and gloss selected against an approved sample.
Artistic texture
Relief, inclusions and ageing from artistic processing, without a repeating printed pattern.
Colour variants
TinPM600
Light goldPM621
BrassPM620
CopperPM650
BronzePM630
Technology notes
High metal-filler content and mechanical finishing distinguish Liquid Foil from conventional metallic paint. Select the cycle for the substrate and target appearance.
MDF and other prepared substrates. Confirm adhesion separately on plastics, ferrous metal and other substrates.
Spraying is the documented method. Develop and test trowel-applied textures separately.
Sand or polish only after full curing; approve the pattern and gloss on a sample.
Choose the clear topcoat for gloss and service conditions. It affects both protection and the final metal appearance.
Formulations, ratios, application and drying are not universal: a Farby PRO technologist determines them from the substrate, method and trial results.
Coating cycle
01→02→03→
PF297EC — MDF preparation
Polyester primer creates a dense, flat substrate; preparation controls the uniformity of the metal effect.
POL1210S + PM600/ — metallic layer
POL1210S with PM600 tin, PM621 gold, PM620 brass, PM650 copper or PM630 bronze. Sand, polish or texture after curing to match the sample.
OAC363 / LAC367 — clear protection
Select a compatible clear finish: matt OAC363G5 or high-gloss LAC367 after adhesion and appearance testing. It limits but does not eliminate oxidation.
This Farby PRO cycle must be approved with a technologist; it is not a universal ICA formulation. Test topcoat adhesion on the actual metallic layer before production.
Key benefits
- Metallic appearance without making each part from sheet metal.
- Decorate complex shapes, curved parts and individual details.
- Five main metallic shades and a broad range of individual effects.
- Texture comes from surface treatment, not only a printed pattern.
- Approve a control sample before production.
- Farby PRO technical support for selection, testing and launch.
