Indigo Metallic Emulsion (Metallic Paint): Designer Finish for Walls and Accents

Achieve a stunning, reflective designer finish that catches the light and adds depth to your interiors with Indigo Metallic Emulsion (Metallic Paint). This premium, water-based metallic paint is formulated with fine metallic pigments that deliver a soft, luxurious shimmer—ideal for creating highlight walls, niche accents, and unique texture effects.

Unlike standard wall paints, Indigo Metallic Emulsion is translucent, allowing it to be used over a coloured base coat to achieve custom, rich metallic tones. It is the perfect choice for homeowners looking to incorporate a touch of glamour and sophistication without the commitment of wallpaper or metal panels.

Why Choose Indigo Metallic Emulsion?

• Low VOC & Low Odour: Being water-based, it is easy to work with and has minimal smell, making it suitable for quick application in occupied residential spaces.

How to Apply Indigo Metallic Emulsion (Professional Guide)

A flawless metallic finish depends entirely on the smoothness and colour of the base:

1. Surface Preparation: Ensure the wall is perfectly smooth. Use wall putty, prime with an interior primer, and then apply a smooth coat of your chosen base colour (e.g., a deep grey or blue emulsion).
2. Base Coat: The metallic effect is best achieved over a dark, solid base coat colour that complements the metallic shade (e.g., dark blue base for a silver metallic finish).
3. Application: Apply Indigo Metallic Emulsion directly over the fully dry base coat using a short-nap roller or a designer application tool (sponge, mitt, etc.). Apply thin, even layers.
4. Finishing: Apply a second coat after 4–6 hours. If using special effects, apply the second coat lightly to maintain the depth and shimmer.
