This video will demonstrate how you can create custom metallic colors by adding So-Strong colorants to Maker Pro Metallic White. The process begins by applying Adhesion Promoter to ensure a strong bond to the urethane resin.

After allowing the Adhesion Promoter to dry for 30 minutes at room temperature, we proceed to mix So-Strong green, blue, and purple into the Maker Pro Metallic White. Do not add more than 3% by weight of the colorant to Maker Pro Paint's weight, as this can cause bonding and drying issues.

Each layer of paint is left to dry for 30 minutes at room temperature, and we can add additional layers as needed. To achieve maximum strength and scratch resistance, we let all the layers dry for a total of 48 hours. The end result is an impressive piece with a stunning metallic luster.
Maker Pro Paints have less than 50 g/l VOCs
