Indigo Aluminium Paint (Gold): High-Sheen Protection for Metal and Interior Wood
For surfaces that require a brilliant, reflective gold finish combined with superior protection against the elements, **Indigo Aluminium Paint (Gold)** is the ideal solution. This solvent-based paint is formulated with fine metallic pigments that provide exceptional luster, making it perfect for both decorative and functional applications.
The high aluminum/metallic content forms a strong, impermeable barrier that reflects sunlight and heat. This not only provides a stunning metallic finish but also delivers excellent anti-corrosion properties, making it a reliable protective coat for metal structures.
Why Choose Indigo Aluminium Paint (Gold)?
Unlike standard gold enamels, this product offers superior performance due to its specific formulation:
- Brilliant Luster: Achieves a deep, rich gold metallic shine that is highly reflective and visually striking.
- Heat and UV Reflection: The metallic flakes help reflect light and heat, which is beneficial for external metal surfaces like tanks or piping.
- Anti-Corrosion Properties: Forms a durable, tough film that shields metal surfaces from moisture, rust, and atmospheric corrosion.
- Excellent Coverage: The paint spreads easily and covers large areas efficiently, even over primed surfaces.

How to Apply Indigo Aluminium Paint (Gold)
Proper preparation is crucial to ensure the metallic flakes align correctly for maximum shine:
- Surface Preparation & Priming: Sand the surface to remove rust/loose paint. Apply the appropriate primer (Red Oxide Primer for metal, Wood Primer for wood). Allow the primer to dry completely.
- Mixing: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. If thinning is required for spraying, add 5-10% MTO, but use minimum thinner for brushing.
- Application: Apply a smooth, uniform coat. When brushing, try to keep strokes in one direction for the metallic flakes to settle correctly. Avoid over-brushing.
- Drying: Allow 6-8 hours between coats. Two coats are recommended for the best metallic depth and durability.
- Cleanup: Clean all tools immediately after use with Mineral Turpentine Oil (MTO). Learn more about cleaning oil-based brushes.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Does this paint require a separate primer?
A: Yes, it is mandatory to apply a suitable metal primer or wood primer first. This metallic paint is a topcoat and does not provide sufficient anti-corrosion protection alone.
Q: Can I use this on plastic?
A: Yes, but you must first apply a specialized plastic primer to ensure proper adhesion before applying the Indigo Aluminium Gold Paint.
Q: How long does the gold shine last outdoors?
A: While highly durable, continuous exposure to harsh sunlight will eventually reduce the luster of any metallic paint. We recommend regular maintenance and reapplication for exterior surfaces.
