Modern Masters ME196-GAL Metallic Paint, Pearl White

We painted our ceiling with MM Metallic Pearl, it is very important to follow directions. Our ceiling was first painted a bright white. It has a soft texture. We added an extender as directed. It took two coats to achieve desired results. It is important that you work quickly, smoothly, and evenly. Edges must not dry, and do not go back over what you have painted. If so, you will have darker streaks. After we finished, and it dried, it was amazing! Our ceiling looks like a tin ceiling. I didn't want just a plain ceiling, and I definitely achieved it. The only reason I gave 4 stars is because of technique. You cannot just roll it on. You must roll in a straight line, and keep edges wet. We had two people, and two rollers, one person to fill the roller, and the other to roll it on. You must also make sure that the paint is well mixed, there is a lot of metallic in the paint and they may settle, which will give you an uneven look. We painted a very large area, so I feel this make it more challenging, but it went smoothly. This went quickly, evenly, and would do it again. It didn't take that long at all. Worth the money and effort!! i have attached a couple of photos, they do not in any way do justice!! End color is not a bright white, but a silvery pearl. It appears yellowish in the photos, but it is not.

Taking a photo and posting it for a review will hardly give you an idea of this product. I had to add at least 3 coats to get the pearl effect. It turned out exceptionally magnificent once I was done. It gives the reflectiveness of a pearl once painted over WHITE from my experience. I have not tried it over other colors but I must say this is the best pearl finish I've ever seen. It's worth it but takes more elbow grease. Just remember ONE COAT OF THIS PAINT WILL NOT GET THE DESIRED EFFECT. Make sure to get enough for whatever project you're using. It's very beautiful and isn't easy to come by anywhere. No other pearl finished paint matched this one at all. Its very beautiful once completed.

Used this for painting a backside of a wall in 2 niches and took some other Modern Masters metallic colors mixed with glaze to give it visual interest and not fall flat. I wanted to tile it but it would have cost at least $700 plus the pain of cutting it and grouting etc so this worked out much better and my spouse loves it. This particular color Pearl White metallic is somewhat sheer. I coated the wall twice. It was a tan color before.

I have been remodeling 4 rooms in my home; seems like forever. I am using Modern Masters Pearl White Metallic paint to tone down the silver metallic paint and then adding Iridescent Medium and various colored glitter, depending on the room. This is the only paint that truly works, and I have tried them all. I do wish it was less expensive. I've purchased at least 4 cans now and that's a lot of money for 4 rooms, not to mention the rest of the paints, glitters and mediums that I use. But the look is well worth it. I embossed ferns on my family room wall using joint compound and stencils, and the paint sets them off as they are but I'm adding a few light colors to the ferns to really make them stand out. Awesome Paint!

This didn't work for me.
